Regulation uncertainties proceed to overwhelm investor sentiment after the European Central Financial institution (ECB) launched a report concluding {that a} lack of regulatory oversight added to the current downfall of algorithmic stablecoins. In consequence, the ECB really helpful supervisory and regulatory measures to include the potential impression of stablecoins in European international locations’ monetary programs.

A couple of mid-cap altcoins rallied and sentiment barely improved
The bearish sentiment from late June dissipated in keeping with the Worry and Greed Index, a data-driven sentiment gauge. The indicator reached a document low of 6/100 on June 19 however improved to 22/100 on July 11 as buyers started to construct the arrogance in a market cycle backside.
Beneath are the winners and losers from the previous seven days. Discover {that a} handful of mid-capitalization altcoins rallied 13% or increased though the entire market capitalization elevated by 2%.
Aave (AAVE) gained 20% because the lending protocol introduced plans to launch an algorithmic stablecoin, a proposal that’s topic to the neighborhood’s decentralized autonomous group.
Chiliz (CHZ) hiked 6% after the Socios.com app announced community-related features to boost user engagement and integration with third-party approved developers.
Asia-based flow and derivatives demand is neutral and balanced
The OKX Tether (USDT) premium measures the difference between China-based peer-to-peer trades and the official U.S. dollar currency. Excessive cryptocurrency retail demand pressures the indicator above fair value at 100%. On the other hand, bearish markets likely flood Tether’s (USDT) market offer, causing a 4% or higher discount.
Tether has been trading at a 1% or higher discount in Asian peer-to-peer markets since July 4. The indicator failed to display a sentiment improvement on July 8 as the total crypto market capitalization flirted with $980 billion, the highest level in 24 days.
To confirm whether the lack of excitement is confined to the stablecoin flow, one should analyze futures markets. Perpetual contracts, also known as inverse swaps, have an embedded rate that is usually charged every eight hours. Exchanges use this fee to avoid exchange risk imbalances.
A positive funding rate indicates that longs (buyers) demand more leverage. However, the opposite situation occurs when shorts (sellers) require additional leverage, causing the funding rate to turn negative.
Analysts say Bitcoin range ‘consolidation’ is most likely until a ‘macro catalyst’ emerges
Perpetual contracts reflected a neutral sentiment as Bitcoin, Ethereumand Ripple (XRP) displayed mixed funding rates. Some exchanges presented a slightly negative (bearish) funding rate, but it is far from punitive. The only exception was Polkadot’s (DOT) negative 0.35% weekly rate (equal to 1.5% per month), but this is not especially concerning for most traders.
Considering the lack of buying appetite from Asia-based retail markets and the absence of leveraged futures demand, traders can conclude that the market is not comfortable betting that the $840 billion total market cap support level will hold.
