QCP: Liquidity in the Crypto Derivatives Market Continues to Improve, Market Risk Appetite Rebounds

2 days ago

On July 2nd, QCP released its daily market observation, stating that "Institutional demand provides support to Bitcoin, and the US SEC is accelerating the ETF approval process. The liquidity in the cryptocurrency derivative market continues to improve. Solana futures set a new historical high, with a trading volume of 1.75 million contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Meanwhile, XRP futures exceeded $500 million in trading volume during its first month of trading. The risk reversals in the Bitcoin options market have slightly rebounded, but the implied volatility still remains near historical lows. The basis and yields still reflect a somewhat subdued market sentiment, and most trading positions are currently inclined towards dip-buying and range-bound strategies." Bitcoin's market dominance rate remains stable at 65%-66%, reaching a multi-year high. Retail investors, OGs, and short-term holders seem to have entered a "summer vacation mode," while institutions are quietly continuing to accumulate. Market attention is now shifting to the third and fourth quarters, and the current position holdings indicate that a potential new volatility cycle is about to begin. The US macro environment is favorable to risk assets. Dovish signals are strengthening, and market risk appetite is returning. US stocks continue to rise steadily, benefiting from the resurgence of the IPO market and expectations of easing tensions in US-China trade, the debt ceiling, and geopolitical risks. This risk-on sentiment has also spread to the cryptocurrency market, although the sentiment of altcoins still lags behind that of mainstream coins.

Bloomberg: In the past year, early Bitcoin holders have sold 500,000 BTC. Institutional inflows are stagnant, posing a risk of a sharp decline.

On July 4th, according to Bloomberg, despite a continuous stream of good news, the price of Bitcoin has been unable to break out of the current trading range for several months. Beneath the surface, while long-term dormant whales are reducing their positions, institutional investors are accelerating their purchases. This transformation is gradually changing Bitcoin's narrative from a high-risk speculative asset to a long-term allocation asset. According to 10x Research data, over the past year, large holders have sold more than 500,000 bitcoins (valued at more than $50 billion at current prices), which is nearly equivalent to the net inflows since the approval of the U.S. Bitcoin ETF, and is not far from the cumulative scale of $65 billion over the past five years by the cryptocurrency holding pioneer Michael Saylor and his company (now named Strategy). Many sellers can be traced back to the early days of Bitcoin when prices were much lower than the current levels. Some whales are not

In mid-July, three important crypto bills will be reviewed in the U.S. House of Representatives

July 4th: The Republican leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives declared on Thursday that they have plans to give consideration to three significant cryptocurrency-related bills during the week commencing July 14th. These encompass: · The GENIUS Stablecoin Act (the version that has been passed by the Senate). · The Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act. · A proposal aiming to restrict the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. It is worthy of note that although the House of Representatives had previously formulated its own stablecoin bill (the STABLE Act), in order to expedite the legislative process, they will give precedence to the Senate-passed version of the GENIUS Act. The "Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act" will define the regulatory responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC with respect to cryptocurrency and enhance the requirements for investor protection.
