I just read an article about financial options and there’s a concept I think many people don’t understand well: what does ATM mean in trading. It turns out that ATM is not just an ATM machine; in finance, it stands for "At-the-Money" and is quite important for those trading derivatives.
Basically, an ATM option is when the strike price exactly matches the current price of the asset. It sounds simple, but it’s a critical point in the market. At that moment, the option has no intrinsic value; all its value comes from time and expected volatility. Think of it this way: if a XYZ stock is at $50 an

I just read something interesting about RPC and I would like to share my perspective. Basically, we are talking about a technology that allows one program to request services from another application located on a different computer without needing to understand all the network complexity. It sounds technical, but the meaning of RPC is quite fundamental to how modern distributed systems operate.
The history is fascinating. It all started in the 1980s when Bruce Jay Nelson formalized this concept in 1981 to simplify network programming. Since then, it has constantly evolved. Microsoft developed

I just reviewed the updated SEC guidance and there are several changes that could significantly impact the cryptocurrency market. The interesting part is that these are not new rules, but clarifications on how existing laws apply to trading structures that are already evolving.
The first thing that caught my attention was this: the SEC now allows exchanges to facilitate direct trading between a security token and Bitcoin without needing to convert to dollars first. Basically, a security token can operate directly against crypto assets that are not securities. For traders, this simplifies thing

I just checked the BTC chart and there's something that concerns me. Recently, we saw that drop that broke the support at 66,500, and that pushed us back below the 10- and 20-day moving averages. Although the price is now at different levels, the movement we experienced was quite ugly. The important thing now is to hold the 65,000 level, because if that gives way, things could get more complicated. The floor we see on the chart could be real, but the price action still raises doubts. We need to watch how BTC behaves in the coming days.

I just noticed a rather interesting phenomenon in the energy market. On April 2, WTI crude oil prices first surpassed Brent oil prices for the first time in nearly four years. Behind this reversal is not only price volatility, but a deep restructuring of the global energy supply chain.
Since the US-Iran conflict erupted at the end of February, the entire oil market landscape has been undergoing dramatic change. The most critical trigger was the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz—once this world’s most important energy shipping hub is disrupted, the traditional Brent oil price advantage

I just checked the funding data on the major CEX and DEX, and things are getting interesting. With Bitcoin hovering around $77,000, funding rates have normalized quite a bit. You no longer see that strong bearish bias we had recently.
For those who don't know, the funding rate is basically the mechanism used by CEX to keep perpetual futures prices aligned with the actual asset price. It's an exchange of funds between those betting bullish and those betting bearish. When that rate is above 0.01%, the market is generally bullish. If it drops below 0.005%, it's a sign that the bearish sentiment i

Hey, I just found out that RootData opened that feature so projects can update their data directly. It's pretty interesting because apparently around 15 projects have joined just this week — Unitas, Sign, Block Street, USDD, and others. The idea is that teams can manage their info on an exclusive page, including token data, investors, team, all that. It seems like RootData is growing quite a bit; they already have over 110 registered projects accumulated. What I find useful is that if the data is updated directly by the project, it should be more accurate. And RootData says that afterward, thi

I just checked the data from CoinGlass, and the amount of liquidations in the last 24 hours is quite significant: a total of $826 million. The interesting part is that short positions were hit the hardest with $661 million, while longs only totaled $166 million.
BTC and ETH led the movement with $375 million and $184 million respectively. According to CoinGlass, more than 194,000 traders were liquidated during this period. The largest individual liquidation was in BTC-USD on Hyperliquid, a whopping $15.7 million in a single trade.
These CoinGlass numbers show that the market was quite volatile

I just checked the whale data on Hyperliquid and things are pretty balanced lately. The big holders have around $2.936 billion in open positions, but what's interesting is that the long-short ratio is almost even, nearly 0.97. This means that whales are not strongly betting in one direction.
Looking at the numbers: $1.448 billion in longs (49.3%) versus $1.489 billion in shorts (50.7%). It's practically a tie. But here’s the strange part, the longs are losing $116 million while the shorts are gaining $200 million. That suggests the market is pushing more downward at the moment.
I saw a particu

I just noticed something interesting in the Sui ecosystem that's generating quite a bit of movement in the market. The launch of USDsui, the native stablecoin of the blockchain, is starting to change the liquidity dynamics on the network, and traders are already rethinking their strategies regarding the sui crypto price.
For those not in the know, USDsui was issued by Bridge, a company linked to Stripe, through its Open Issuance platform. The interesting part here is that it's not just another stablecoin. The network is already seeing integration with key platforms like Turbos, Cetus, Bluefin,

I just noticed something interesting about the wave of crypto adoption at the state level in the U.S. Indiana has just authorized public retirement and savings plans to access Bitcoin and spot ETFs, a measure that Governor Mike Braun is likely to sign within the next 10 days. The curious thing is that Indiana is not alone in this.
The trend is quite clear: at least 7 states have already advanced in integrating cryptocurrency products into their public investment frameworks. Wyoming, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona are among them, and Arizona, in particular, has been quite aggressive in this.

I just saw that Singapore has seized more than 500 million Singapore dollars in assets related to a pretty serious money laundering case. Singapore Police arrested three local citizens suspected of being linked to the Taizi Group between November and January, and also issued an arrest warrant for Chen Xiuling, another Singaporean citizen.
What’s interesting here is that Singapore, despite having a very sophisticated digital financial ecosystem and a population with high purchasing power, has become a hotspot for increasingly sophisticated scams. Investigators note that crimes have evolved sign

Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon—the weekend gold tokenization market plays a key role in price discovery.
According to a report by Cointelegraph, Iggy Ioppe, the former head of investment at Credit Suisse and the current CIO of a liquidity infrastructure company, pointed out that because CME gold futures close at 17:00 Eastern Time every Friday and do not reopen until Sunday at 18:00, the traditional futures market is completely shut down during this window. Coincidentally, during this period, tokenized gold assets such as PAX Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUt) become the only tr

I just checked the ANKR chart on the 1H timeframe and all indicators are pointing downward. The selling pressure is quite clear at the moment. The ANKRUSD looks pretty weak, so if you're thinking about trading ANKR right now, it’s probably best to consider only short positions. The numbers don’t lie, and with this technical setup, it’s better to wait for clearer signals before considering buying. Is anyone else noticing the same thing in the ANKR price?

I just noticed something interesting in the behavior of Bitcoin ETF investors during this recent selloff. While BTC fell from the $126K down to around the $60K recently, the outflows from these funds were much smaller than many expected.
Nate Geraci from ETF Institute explained it well: since BTC hit its peak in October, spot ETFs have seen about $6.5 billion in outflows. But here’s the important part—almost nothing compared to the $55 billion that have flowed in since January 2024. Even in the last 3 days, there were inflows of more than $1 billion.
What this tells me is that the investor

I've been watching ICX for a while, and honestly, this week's movement has been quite flat. I saw that it recently hit new lows, and since then, it's been in a consolidation zone, without much momentum. ICX seems to be waiting for something, but for now, there are no clear signs of recovery. If ICX manages to break through those support levels where it is now, it could be a good opportunity for short positions. For now, I'm only keeping an eye on that critical level.

I just found out that MagicEden is completely changing its strategy. They will stop supporting NFTs from Ethereum and Bitcoin (Runes and Ordinals) starting in March and April. At first, I thought it was strange, but Jack Lu explained that those markets weren't generating enough revenue and were consuming too many resources.
The interesting move is that now they will focus on their prediction platform, Dicey. It seems they saw that the traditional NFT business wasn't enough to sustain everything. They keep NFTPack because it's more profitable, but clearly they are betting heavily on the predict

Recently, someone asked me what blockchain is, and I realized that many people still don't truly understand how it works. So here is my explanation without unnecessary technical jargon.
Blockchain technology is basically a shared ledger where data is stored securely. Imagine a notebook that many people have a copy of, and when someone writes something new, everyone sees and verifies it. If someone tries to change what was written before, everyone notices because it doesn't match the other copies. That’s the cool part.
Now, why is blockchain technology so revolutionary? Because it eliminates th

I just reviewed what’s happening with WLFI, the crypto project of the Trump family, and honestly, it’s quite concerning. It’s not just another token being locked—there’s something much more shady in the mechanisms they’re implementing.
What WLFI crypto is, essentially, is a project that promised to be revolutionary, but the governance proposal they’ve just rolled out is almost Kafkaesque. It affects 62.3 billion tokens and basically says: accept our new rules or your funds will be frozen indefinitely. The first investors who bought between $0.015 and $0.05 per token now see the price hovering

Something interesting is happening with Solana as the price wobbles. Solana ETFs have raised around $1.5 billion since arriving in the United States, and the strange thing is that money keeps flowing in even when SOL has fallen significantly. Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg described it as "defying physics," and it makes sense: normally, when an asset drops so sharply, new investors flee. But here, the opposite is happening.
What catches attention is that about half of that demand comes from institutional investors. This suggests that big players are buying on weakness, which generally indicates
