OKEx workers: I feel for India, the regulator wish to have a extra complete framework in regulating crypto as an alternative of banning it.Historical past instructed us when crypto is allowed and controlled – it may possibly even be stronger. The India ban is unlikely to have any main impression in the marketplace. Crypto has turn into fairly resilient to such information developments over the previous couple of years.
CT Markets Professional Person:Cryptocurrencies have fairly excessive beta [volatility]. Do you guys use the identical monetary mannequin (I.e. Black Scholes) as shares to cost crypto derivatives?

OKEx workers:Good query! Sure, meme cash are undoubtedly appearing as gateways for non-native crypto buyers/merchants on account of their accessibility. There’s a particular chance of those cash sliding sharply sooner or later, however I would not go as far as to say they’ll destabilize the market at this level. Their speculative nature is on the market for all to know, and these cash do not take themselves too severely, which suggests buyers are considerably conscious of the dangers. Furthermore, the highest meme cash, comparable to DOGE and SHIB, have really cemented themselves fairly nicely by now. We really did an episode on meme cash on our podcast. Here’s a link to that for the complete dialogue.

CT Markets Professional Person:Do you guys suppose that [Bitcoin price] $69K was the highest? Is there nonetheless an opportunity for an additional alt season within the subsequent couple of months?
OKEx workers: $69k is the highest or not is a matter of time frames, for my part. On-chain metrics, comparable to alternate flows and balances, point out that the final all-time excessive ($69K) could be very unlikely to be the highest for this cycle. That being stated, BTC can also be not more likely to transfer straight up, even when most metrics are bullish. That is due to the way in which the market has matured and the growing variety of market individuals as nicely. Matured within the sense that there’s a distinction in market composition from 2013 to 2017 and 2021. Much more “critical” buyers and institutional involvement and futures from CME, as an illustration, and the ETF [Exchange Traded Funds].
The larger a market will get, the slower it strikes and the much less unstable it turns into. Nevertheless, the subsequent few months, particularly Q1 2022, ought to be fascinating to watch as we may even see this bullish cycle lengthen into the subsequent 12 months as an alternative of ending in December. If that occurs, we will certainly see one other alt season.
I feel we’re already beginning to see one thing of a meme season/metaverse season in the meanwhile. Clearly the information from Fb going all-in with the metaverse spurred on that aspect of issues, however the decentralized metaverse is unquestionably seeing new capital influx.For my part, the market cycles by sectors; as an illustration, we’re presently seeing metaverse trending however may see different lagging classes begin catching up so long as BTC stays bullish/would not slide too sharply. Usually, if the market seems sturdy, all the things goes to rise in the end.We are able to see there’s a constant influx from institutional cash. Fairness stability on institutional circulation is steadily growing. Arduous to inform close to shopping for Ethereum, although, since they commerce all the things and all have various kinds of methods.
The BTC alternate web place change metric, as an illustration, remains to be not displaying indicators of the present value, or the final ATH [All Time High], being a high just like the one we noticed in Could.
