Why this report matters

Crypto markets are entering a critical stretch, with liquidity shifts and derivatives pricing pointing to a potential breakout. Bitcoin’s volatility structure has collapsed at the front end, while longer maturities are steepening—signaling traders see calm now but turbulence ahead. Ethereum tells a different story: downside hedging demand has evaporated, and calls are regaining the premium. At the same time, ETF flows and stablecoin issuance are reshaping positioning under the surface. The data suggests a decisive move is coming.

Main data points

Crypto market cap climbs on lower volume: The Crypto market cap stands at $4.05 trillion, 5.7% larger than the week before, with an average weekly volume of $144 billion, 1% higher than average. Weekly Bitcoin volume was $43.7 billion, -23% lower than average, while Ethereum volume was $33.8 billion, -2% lower than average. Ethereum network fees (0.17 Gwei) are in the 6th percentile range, which indicates low network usage.
