Insider trading in cryptocurrency isn't limited to cryptocurrency stocks. The futures market has also been a big contributor to blockchain value spikes. In fact, one of the biggest purchases in the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market is bitcoin futures.

The Pimco Total Return Fund (TMTCF) has been one of the largest managers in the market. The company is already trading bitcoin futures. The fund has traded around 3,000 BTC at the beginning of the year. In July, the futures contract began trading at $40,000 per contract. However, prices have fallen to just over $30,000.
