Investors expect Bitcoin and Ethereum to decline in the next 3 months

 


Crypto markets have accepted UST's exit and LUNA's subsequent downward spiral, both of which have impacted the price of Bitcoin and the entire spectrum of digital assets. According to a recent report by the Glassnode team, the Bitcoin market has been in the red for eight weeks, marking the “longest uninterrupted streak of weekly red candles in history.”


A similar picture emerged for Ethereum, the most popular altcoin. Bear market swings hurt yields and profit margins directly or indirectly. To make matters worse, derivatives markets are forecasting further declines over the next three to six months.


Derivatives markets point to more pain for Bitcoin

According to derivatives markets, the outlook for the next three to six months remains fearful, which could mean a further decline. On-chain, the report says, blockspace demand for Ethereum and Bitcoin has fallen to a multi-year low, and the rate of ETH burn via EIP1559 has hit an all-time low.


Glassnode has calculated that the demand side could mean further losses are on the cards for both Bitcoin and Ethereum due to poor price development, uncertain pricing of derivatives and extremely low demand for blockspace. The report explains:


A look at the chain shows that both Ethereum and Bitcoin blockspace demand have fallen to multi-year lows and the burn rate of ETH above EIP1559 is now at an all-time low.


The combination of poor price action, fearful derivatives pricing, and extremely weak demand for blockspace in both Bitcoin and Ethereum allows us to deduce that the demand side is likely to continue to face headwinds.


Bitcoin and Ethereum price performance has been disappointing over the past 12 months. The long-term CAGR rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum have been affected as a result.


Additionally, Bitcoin has had a 30% negative return in the short term, meaning it has corrected by 1% on average each day. This negative return for Bitcoin is very similar to previous bear market cycles. As for ETH, the altcoin fared far worse than BTC. Ethereum monthly return profile paints a depressing picture of -34.9 percent. Even in the long run, Ethereum seems to be making less and less profit.


Additionally, over the past 12 months, the 4-year CAGR for both assets has fallen from 100% to just 36% for BTC and 28% for ETH.


To make matters worse, the derivatives market has warned of future market declines. Near-term uncertainty and downside risks continue to be priced into options markets, particularly over the next three to six months. In fact, implied volatility increased significantly during last week's market sell-off.


Glassnode analysis concluded by stating that the current bear market has taken its toll on crypto traders and investors. Additionally, the Glassnode team emphasized that down markets often deteriorate before they recover. However, “bear markets tend to end” and “bear markets are the originators of the bull market that follows”, so there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
