Kryptoasset Leistung

Last week, most major cryptoassets were trading to the downside. Investors have been contemplating that the impending bank reserve drawdown in the US, due to the Treasury General Account (TGA) rebuild, may prove to be headwind for cryptoassets. It is expected that the US Treasury will likely issue up to 1 trn USD in T-Bills that could divert significant amounts of liquidity from cryptoassets and other assets.

At the same time, there has been a pick-up in Whale Bitcoin exchange deposits recently (Chart-der-Woche) which could exert some downward pressure on prices in the short term. Whales are defined as network entities (cluster of addresses) that hold at least 1000 BTC.

All in all, the top 10 cryptoassets have performed slightly positive last week. In general, global equities outperformed bonds while commodities retreated last week.

Among the major cryptoassets, XRP, TRON, and Solana were the relative outperformers. Overall altcoin outperformance increased last week with 60% of tracked altcoins outperforming BTC on a weekly basis.

Krypto-Marktstimmung

Our in-house Crypto Sentiment Index has further increased. 8 out of 15 indicators are above their short-term trend.

Compared to last week, we saw major reversals to the upside in the Altseason Index and the BTC Put-Call volume ratio.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has mostly remained unchanged compared to last week and still remains in “Neutral” territory as of this morning.

Performance dispersion among cryptoassets has recently continued to increase as correlations among cryptoassets have decreased which means that cryptoassets are trading more on coin-specific factors. At the same time, altcoin outperformance has also increased last week and is now at 60% of Altcoins outperforming Bitcoin on a weekly basis.

Im Allgemeinen geht die Outperformance von Altcoins mit einer zunehmenden Streuung der Kryptowährungen einher, d. h. Bitcoin und Altcoins werden während der "Altsaison" in der Regel höher gehandelt als Bitcoin, wobei sich Altcoins besser entwickeln als Bitcoin. Eine breitere Outperformance von Altcoins ist in der Regel ein Zeichen für eine zunehmende Risikobereitschaft.

Krypto Asset Flows

Last week saw a yet again net fund outflows of cryptoassets.

In aggregate, we saw net fund outflows in the amount of -53.8 mn USD (week ending Friday). However, last week’s outflows were mostly concentrated on Altcoin-based ETPs which saw net outflows of -50.6 mn USD in aggregate. A TRON-based ETP alone saw -51.2 mn USD in outflows last week on Wednesday.

Bitcoin funds experienced minor net outflows of -2.8 mn USD and Ethereum funds also experienced minor net outflows of -3.7 mn USD. In contrast, basket & thematic cryptoasset funds experienced net inflows (+3.2 mn USD).

Außerdem hat sich der Abschlag auf den Nettoinventarwert des größten Bitcoin-Fonds der Welt - Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) - wieder leicht vergrößert, was ebenfalls auf geringfügige Nettoabflüsse aus diesem Fondsvehikel hindeutet.

Meanwhile, the beta of global Hedge Funds to Bitcoin over the last 20 trading days increased again albeit from low levels, implying that global hedge funds have increased their exposure to cryptoassets a little bit. However, the beta is still too small to consider it statistically significant. Global hedge funds generally appear to be neutrally positioned with respect to cryptoassets at the moment.

On-Chain Tätigkeit

Last week, core on-chain metrics for Bitcoin such as new or active addresses continued to recover from the low levels we had seen because of the congestion in the Bitcoin network that had stalled network participation. The number of transactions waiting in the Bitcoin mempool to be picked up by miners has also continued to decrease but still remains elevated compared to the pre-ordinals period (i.e. before end of April 2023).

The number of transactions has also declined albeit from very high levels experienced due to the ordinals hype. In the same context, median transaction fees for Bitcoin have also declined again and are currently around 1.10 USD.

Overall network growth still remains quite positive with approximately 4% growth in non-zero addresses in the last 30 days.

At the time of writing, 66% of Bitcoin addresses are in (unrealized) profit. The net % of unrealized profit minus loss is currently around 27%. The majority of coins in profit is held by long-term holders, i.e. entities that have held coins at least 155 days. These entities are also the ones who have been realizing gains in the past two weeks.

Moreover, there has been a significant pick-up in BTC miner transfers to exchanges over the weekend. They have now reached the highest level since November 2019. Bitcoin miners are increasingly feeling the pressure from the parabolic increase in hash rate.

Increasing exchange inflows from whales and miners are likely going to exert some downward pressure on prices in the short term.

Krypto-Asset-Derivate

Probably the most important development on the derivatives side was the fact that 1-month Bitcoin implied volatilities reached an all-time low over the weekend. More specifically, 1-month implied volatilities fell below 35% – lower than the previous low marked in January 2023. This highlights some element of complacency in the market right now and the probability of a spike in volatility has been increasing as volatilities are usually mean-reverting. Put-call volume ratios have been trending lower (in favour of calls). The put-call open interest ratio is currently at 0.46 for Bitcoin options. So, traders are generally more exposed to call options than to put options.

A call (put) option gives the holder the right to buy (sell) the underlying at a pre-defined price called “strike” in the future.

On the futures side, open interests have mostly sideways both for futures and perpetual contracts on BTC. The 3-months basis rate has also moved sideways and is currently at around 2.3% p.a. Perpetual funding rates are also positive.

Unterm Strich

Last week, most major cryptoassets were trading to the downside as investors are contemplating the impending liquidity drawdown due to the TGA rebuild.

Our in-house Crypto Sentiment Index has increased again throughout last week.

Whale deposits to exchanges have recently picked up as have BTC miner transfers to exchanges which could exert some downward pressure on prices in the short term.
