Crypto Derivatives: Analytics Report – Week 50

Crypto Derivatives: Analytics Report – Week 50

Key Insights:

Spot prices have largely regained the levels they lost in the selloff early in the week. So too has the shape of the at-the-money implied volatility term structure, regaining the noticeable kink that targets the end- of-Jan expiry. Perpetual swap funding rates showed little sign of slowing during the selloff despite talks of a spate of liquidations, indicating that traders are still willing to pay for leveraged long exposure. The only metrics not to return to pre-selloff conditions are both assets’ put-skew. The trending skew towards OTM puts began before the selloff, and has settled close to neutral levels across both term structures.
