Floki (FLOKI) Sees Increased Open Interest

The uptick in Floki’s (FLOKI) value in the past week has led to a surge in activity in its derivatives market. This can be gleaned from its rising futures open interest, which was $19.20 million at press time and has gone up by 58% in the past seven days.

If this holds true for FLOKI, its price will rally to $0.00020.
