DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in collaboration with Blocks Scholes, released the latest weekly derivatives analytics report and uncovered signals indicating ETH’s rise above BTC in the past week.

Fueled by news of current U.S. SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s departure at the end of the Biden administration’s term, ETH performance has positively surprised investors. In particular, open interest in ETH perpetual has been on the rise. Several large-cap altcoins also benefited from Gensler’s announcement, anticipating less scrutiny upcoming January.

Key Insights:

ETH outperformed BTC in open interest: Perpetual swap data has seen a gradual decline in BTC open interest while ETH contracts increased. ETH has also been taking a bigger share of daily trading volumes in the past 6-month time frame despite an overall slower market this week. The optimism could be attributed to hopeful investors’ expectation of a more crypto-friendly SEC Chair after Gensler’s last day on Jan. 20, 2025.

BTC price in retreat: BTC price’s ebbing from the $100K mark has flattened the ATM volatility term structure, with short-tenor options dipping below 60%. This mirrors a pattern observed since the U.S. election. Lower realized volatility explains the drop, while open interest in calls and puts remains unchanged, demands for short-term options this week have stagnated.

ETH options – bullish sentiment in moderation: ETH options show slightly more bullish sentiment than BTC options. Markets have recalibrated after the post-election high, but call options remain in the lead in both trading volumes and open interests.

The world of cryptocurrency is buzzing with excitement over CYBRO, a new decentralized finance (DeFi) platform gaining traction among large-scale investors and analysts. With the presale of CYBRO tokens surpassing $5.5 million, many are looking at this emerging asset as a unique opportunity within the ever-changing crypto investment trends. Let’s explore why this project has captured the attention of industry heavyweights and what it means for your crypto investment strategy.

CYBRO Presale Hits $5.5 Million: A Rare DeFi Opportunity

CYBRO’s presale success, with over $5.5 million raised, is making waves in the crypto world. Positioned as a multichain DeFi platform, CYBRO enables investors to maximize returns across multiple blockchains regardless of market fluctuations.

During the presale, CYBRO tokens are priced at $0.045, and experts predict a potential ROI of up to 1200%. This has led to significant interest from Solana (SOL) whales and other influential figures in the cryptocurrency space, reinforcing confidence in CYBRO’s potential.

Investors in CYBRO gain access to numerous exclusive benefits, including:

High staking rewards

Generous airdrops

Cashback on purchases

Discounted trading and lending fees

Robust insurance programs

With only 21% of tokens allocated for the presale and 100 million already claimed, CYBRO’s unique features set it apart in the crowded DeFi landscape. The project’s technological innovation and strong backing underscore its appeal to forward-thinking investors.

Solana’s Price Dip and Its Implications

While CYBRO gains momentum, Solana (SOL) has seen a recent dip in price, currently trading between $233.64 and $266.25. Over the past week, SOL’s value dropped by 6.88%, though it gained an impressive 30.92% in the last month. Analysts point to key indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (23.04) and Stochastic (13.75), both suggesting that Solana is oversold and could experience a rebound.

Resistance levels for Solana are set at $283.64 and $318.25, representing potential increases of 17% and 34%, respectively. On the downside, support levels at $214.41 and $179.81 provide a cushion against further declines. While Solana’s long-term potential remains intact, its recent volatility highlights the importance of diversification and strategic allocation.

Why CYBRO is a Game-Changer in Crypto Investment Trends

CYBRO stands out as a promising project within the DeFi space. Built on the Blast blockchain, it leverages AI-driven yield aggregation to optimize earnings for its users. This technological edge, combined with its transparent and compliant framework, ensures a superior experience for both new and seasoned investors.

The project’s focus on usability and security has attracted endorsements from crypto whales and influential market analysts. Features such as smooth deposits and withdrawals, coupled with a commitment to transparency, reinforce CYBRO’s standing as a reliable platform. For investors wary of market volatility, CYBRO’s diversified earning mechanisms offer a measure of stability in an unpredictable industry.

The Role of Major Players in CYBRO’S Growth Potential

The backing of major investors, including Solana whales, underscores CYBRO’s credibility and growth potential. Companies such as Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) also demonstrate the increasing institutional interest in innovative blockchain solutions. While CYBRO is not yet publicly listed, its early success points to a bright future in the competitive crypto landscape.

Conclusion

The rise of CYBRO amid shifting crypto investment trends highlights the growing appetite for innovative DeFi solutions. With its successful presale, cutting-edge technology, and support from prominent investors, CYBRO has positioned itself as a standout opportunity in the crypto market.

Whether you’re diversifying your portfolio or exploring new opportunities, keeping an eye on projects like CYBRO could be a smart move. As always, remember to invest only what you can afford to lose and maintain a balanced approach to mitigate risks.

The value of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin has been climbing significantly following Donald Trump’s return to the political spotlight. As of November 22, Bitcoin hit a historic peak of over $99,000. Despite this upward trajectory, financial experts caution investors against diving headfirst into the crypto market. Let’s explore the core reasons why crypto risks should not be overlooked.

The Volatility of Cryptocurrencies

Rachel Lawrence, CFP and head of advice at Monarch, warns that cryptocurrency’s volatility is a double-edged sword. She believes a Trump presidency could create favorable conditions for crypto, including reduced regulations and energy policies that lower operational costs for miners. However, Lawrence emphasizes the unpredictability of the market:

“The crypto universe changes so quickly in reaction to world events,” Lawrence said. “While values might initially climb, one negative policy shift or global incident could send prices plummeting.”

This volatility, combined with the lack of tangible assets backing cryptocurrencies, makes them inherently risky compared to traditional investments like stocks or real estate.

Regulatory Risks Persist

Cryptocurrencies remain largely unregulated, which adds another layer of uncertainty. Unlike stocks held through brokers protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), crypto investors have no such safety net. Lawrence points out:

“If your crypto account gets hacked or a transaction is fraudulent, there’s no recourse to recover your funds.”

Platforms offering crypto services may also operate in jurisdictions with weak consumer protections, making it difficult to resolve disputes or secure assistance when issues arise.

The Energy Debate

Energy policies under a Trump administration could influence crypto’s trajectory. Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, consume vast amounts of energy for mining operations. Policies favoring expanded fossil fuel use might lower mining costs, but this reliance on energy also leaves crypto vulnerable to fluctuating energy prices or environmental regulations. A sudden shift could have dramatic effects on market stability.

Illiquidity and Market Manipulation

Investing in lesser-known cryptocurrencies amplifies the risk of illiquidity. If demand dries up, selling your holdings could become difficult or even impossible. Market manipulation also remains a concern, particularly in small-cap cryptocurrencies with lower trading volumes.

Protecting Yourself in a Risky Market

Although crypto risks are substantial, investors can adopt strategies to minimize exposure. Lawrence recommends:

Choose Reputable Custodians: Use a trusted company or hardware wallet to store your crypto.

Diversify: Limit crypto investments to 5% or less of your portfolio.

Stick to Major Cryptocurrencies: Established options like Bitcoin and Ethereum typically have higher liquidity and lower risks of obsolescence.

Utilize Dollar-Cost Averaging: Investing small amounts regularly reduces the impact of market timing.

Secure Recovery Options: Always set up password recovery mechanisms and store credentials securely.

The Long View on Cryptocurrency Investments

While Trump’s presidency might create favorable conditions for crypto, the inherent risks of this volatile asset class remain. Investing only what you can afford to lose and maintaining a diversified portfolio are essential safeguards.

Companies like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) may benefit from an uptick in crypto’s popularity, but the same caution applies to equities tied to the crypto market. Ultimately, understanding the volatile nature of crypto risks is key to navigating this complex investment landscape.By remaining vigilant and informed, investors can make safer choices in this high-risk, high-reward market. Avoid going all in—your portfolio will thank you.
