CME Ether Futures COT Report
Data as of 2026-10-20 Published by CFTC 10/23 Next release expected 10/30 CFTC is unreachable right now; showing the previous report
This Week 2026-10-20
Week to 10/20: Leveraged Funds longs +20.7K, shorts −37.1K ETH, net short 259K ETH (percentile 84 of the past year); Asset Managers longs −7.83K, shorts +23.9K ETH, net short 65.4K ETH (percentile 37 of the past year).
Leveraged funds added both longs and shorts. That looks more like a basis trade, not a bet on a fall. CFTC classification notes

Leveraged Funds and Asset Managers Net Position
Net position = longs − shorts, in ETH. The price line uses the right axis: Binance spot ETHUSDT, UTC daily close on the report date (Tuesday).
Who Are the Four Trader Groups?
- Asset Managers: pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, mutual funds and other institutional investors.
- Leveraged Funds: hedge funds, CTAs and the like.
- Dealers: large banks and dealers in securities, swaps and other derivatives. The group reflects their role, not a short position.
- Other Reportables: corporate treasuries, central banks, smaller banks and the like, mostly hedging with futures.

About This Metric
- Groups follow the CFTC Traders in Financial Futures and Legacy reports, futures only.
- Positions are as of each Tuesday.
- The percentile ranks this week's net position among the latest 52 weekly reports: 90 means it is more long than nine in ten weeks of the past year.
- The CFTC classifies by trader type, not by the purpose of each trade, so the report can't separate directional bets from basis trades. A basis trade buys spot or ETFs while selling futures to earn the gap between them; longs and shorts rising together points more toward arbitrage.
- The first COT data for Micro Ether futures is 2021-12-14. Before that the total holds the standard contract only; in the week the micro joins, the total steps up once and that week's change includes the micro's whole first position. The chart marks it with a dashed line.
Not endorsed by the CFTC.
