Hold onto your hats, folks, because the trading world just had a major twist. Ether futures have officially outpaced Bitcoin futures on CME Group, and it’s got everyone talking. Is this the start of Ether’s “super-cycle”? Or are we just witnessing a really, really dramatic game of catch-up? 🤔
In a video from CME, Priyanka Jain, the director of equity and crypto products, casually dropped a bombshell: Ether options are way more volatile than Bitcoin options right now. Normally, volatility sends traders running, but nope, not this time. Instead, traders are flocking to Ether futures like moths to a flame (and I mean, who doesn’t love a good wild ride?).
“This heightened volatility has served as a powerful magnet for traders, directly accelerating participation in CME Group’s Ether futures,” Jain said. So, is this Ether’s long-awaited “super-cycle” or just a temporary spike fueled by short-term chaos? You decide. 🧐
The flippening-yes, it’s a real thing-was especially evident in July, when Ether futures’ open interest officially surpassed Bitcoin futures for the first time on the exchange. Cue dramatic music.
Even though Bitcoin and Micro Bitcoin futures still dominate in dollar volume, let’s be real: the trend is clear. Ether-linked products are growing faster than a TikTok trend. 🙌
Ether Price Hits a Bumpy Road Again 🚧
Surprise, surprise! Ether, Bitcoin, and the entire crypto market just had another emotional rollercoaster. On Monday, selling pressure returned, and it looks like the crypto market is stuck in a “volatility loop.” Anyone else feel like they’re in a bad relationship with this market? 💔
CTO Larsson, who’s probably way too calm about this, explained that traders started dumping exposure as soon as the monthly candle closed. Because who wants to hold onto something that looks bad on paper? Just ask the Ether treasury companies, who are now seeing their ETH holdings go from “valuable asset” to “oops, not so much.” 😬
Companies like SharpLink and Bit Digital are sinking fast, with their ETH positions now firmly in the red. Yikes! Data from CoinGecko says it all. 🏊♂️
