So it's clear from the debates and discussion on this post that crypto derivatives (mainly perps) product design and market structure that surrounding it remain the biggest problem the industry need to tackle before it can grow to the next level in a sustainable manner.
The industry simply cannot go through this level of wealth destruction event every once in a while and we pretend things are fine without fixing the structural problems.
That said there is a hope that we can hopefully build a better product looking at the history.
The March 2020 market meltdown where BTC fall 50% to 70% in hours are very similar to 10th Oct for altcoins where system outage on leading price discovery venue exacerbate the downward movement, however what make things worse were the fact that those perps were quanto perps which means BTC perps are collateralized by BTC not stablecoins thus you get the extreme reflexivity on the downside and there's just very little way you can hedge this quanto perp exposure.
Most market participants recognize this product design flaw and combined with the fact that stablecoins been growing in usage, the market share of quanto perps on Bitmex move from >80% to less than 20% in one year and by the mid of 2021, most people are using USDT margined BTC perps and not BTC margined quanto perps anymore.
The collective decision for the industry to use USDT margined perps have definitely improve the resilience of market structure significantly and we get less volatility for BTC as time goes by.
I am looking forward to a new product design to emerge that is significantly better than the current iteration of crypto perps.
Great look at the SpaceX shares unlock schedule as well as the potential passive buying schedule from @JSeyff@FrancisSharoon Depending on the early post-IPO returns, this could really play with and disperse the returns of "passive" funds (which is why there's arguably no such thing as passive). $SPCX
Heads-up: Pre-market so-called “news” or “Truth” is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator.
Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long.
See something tomorrow? You know the drill.
Would it allow multiple webpage tabs to be added to ask ChatGPT sidebar just like Dia? I am a savvy user of Dia and it works amazing. The only thing is I don’t naturally trust their AI models as much as I do for OpenAI. For that reason I would love to use Atlas but this function really is the key that I still stay using Dia rather than Atlas.
