DUBAI, UAE, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit [https://www.bybit.com/en/press], the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, released the latest weekly crypto derivatives analytics report [https://learn.bybit.com/crypto-insight/bybit-x-block-scholes-crypto-derivatives-analytics-report-mar-7-2025/] with Block Scholes as President Trump signed the executive order to establish a strategic BTC reserve on Thursday.
In the first week of March, crypto market movements suggested traders had digested the positive news and pulled towards bearish territories with a declining S&P 500 and growing skepticism surrounding ETH and SOL. This waning enthusiasm is evidenced by a notable increase in demand for short-term protective options as investors seek to mitigate potential risks in the evolving market landscape.

Key Highlights:
-- Stable Funding Rates: Following President Trump's announcement on Mar.
2, the spot prices of involved cryptocurrencies surged. However, funding
rates for these assets have not reached extreme levels, remaining
relatively stable compared to highs seen prior to Trump's inauguration.
This suggests a balanced demand for long positions, indicating subdued
short interest in the market.
-- Volatility in ETH Options: The enthusiasm surrounding ETH was quickly
tempered as ongoing tariff discussions contributed to bearish market
sentiment. This has resulted in a notable increase in realized
volatility, surpassing options-implied levels. As traders seek
protection, the market has seen a shift in short-term volatility towards
puts, reflecting a cautious outlook.
-- Decline in SOL Open Interest: The report also notes a decrease in open
interest for Solana options at the end of February. Despite the
inclusion of SOL in the proposed crypto reserve, open interest has not
seen a corresponding uptick, with a majority of new positions still
favoring calls, albeit at a lackluster pace.
