Overall, I'm quite interested to keep track of the evolution of on-chain asset management as more sophisticated players enter this space. This can unlock a large untapped pocket of retail liquidity that would otherwise be squandered away in degenerate bets 😂
Despite DeFi surging beyond $100B in TVL, many retail investors still miss out on professional-grade opportunities to make money in this space. @upshift_fi aims to change that by offering advanced on-chain strategies—powered by @august_digital's robust infrastructure to a wider audience.
For ETH-focused strategies, Upshift’s Kelp Gain Vault automates farming across L2s and protocols like @eigencloud. Depositing rsETH yields agETH, a receipt token that can be leveraged for other DeFi opportunities.
looking at individual maturities paints a different picture vs constant maturity 30dte. The reason is b/c const mat vols are interpolated and may miss out on underlying maturity dynamics. Everything post jan3 [16 dte] is pretty bullish for both btc + eth. note: skew defined here as 25delta put-call IV so negative values = boolish.

1. MSTR is in the business of selling credit investors volatility. As long as MSTR’s stock vol remains high these investors are happy - the stock just needs to move!
8. Some good resources which helped me during this research:

Pretty wild to see such a large OI buildup in deep OTM $MSTR calls for expiries < year-end. People with ITM calls probably seeking to recycle capital into higher OTM strikes. Just based on today’s options flows it’s pretty surprising to see the volumes in these yolo calls hah
