Bybit Report: Crypto Market Rollercoaster – Did the Worst Sell-Off Already Happen?
DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in partnership with BlockScholes, is pleased to release its latest Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report – Option Volatility Shows Worst Time Might Be Over.
The report unveils a complex interplay of macroeconomic factors and market sentiment that shaped the recent crypto landscape. As the dust settles on a week of heightened volatility, triggered by the unexpected nonfarm payroll figures, the report offers crucial insights into the market’s behavior.
While the crypto market has historically mirrored broader economic trends, this latest downturn presents a nuanced picture. Unlike previous sell-offs characterized by forced liquidations and extreme volatility, the recent decline appears more contained.
Key Findings:
- ETH Futures Hold Strong: Despite a surge in trading volume, ETH futures open interest remained remarkably stable, suggesting a more cautious approach from futures traders.
- Perpetual Contracts Take the Hit: The sharp decline in open interest for both BTC and ETH perpetual contracts underscores the impact of leveraged long positions on the sell-off.
- ETH Underperforms: ETH’s more pronounced price drop compared to BTC, even after the launch of ETH Spot ETFs, raises questions about the market’s perception of the ETF’s impact.
- Options Market Optimism: The disparity between realized and implied volatility indicates that options traders are not anticipating a prolonged period of heightened volatility.
These findings suggest that while the crypto market remains susceptible to macroeconomic shocks, its resilience may be improving. However, as the report emphasizes, the situation is fluid, and investors should closely monitor market developments.

From Innovation to Integrity: Bybit’s Take on Digital Asset Regulation at VTIS 2024
DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, was a prominent participant at the Vietnam Tech Impact Summit (VTIS 2024) in early December. The event brought together global leaders, legal experts, and industry pioneers to discuss the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets during the panel discussion titled “The Legal Frontier of Digital Assets: Benefits, Challenges, and Global Experiences.”
The Digital Asset Regulation Challenge
As digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and tokenized securities, transform global finance, regulatory clarity has become a pressing issue. The panel explored critical topics such as:
- Economic Opportunities: The benefits of legalizing digital assets to enhance financial ecosystems and drive economic growth.
- Global Regulatory Challenges: Fragmented regulations across jurisdictions and their impact on businesses and investors.
- Best Practices: Insights from pioneering nations like Singapore and the UAE that have implemented advanced frameworks for digital assets.
- Industry Leadership: The role of exchanges like Bybit in ensuring compliance and fostering a sustainable digital asset market.
Bybit’s Insights on Regulatory Evolution
Representing Bybit, Robert MacDonald, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer highlighted the transformative impact of digital assets on traditional financial sectors such as banking and securities. Blockchain technology is enabling faster, more cost-effective transactions, while tokenization in securities markets increases liquidity and transparency. MacDonald emphasized that financial institutions have a unique opportunity to innovate by adopting digital asset services like custody and trading platforms to attract tech-savvy clients and enhance operational efficiency.
However, MacDonald noted that integrating digital assets presents challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, cybersecurity risks, and the complexity of incorporating new technologies with legacy systems. He stressed the need for robust regulatory measures to address these issues, citing lessons from incidents like FTX’s collapse. “Effective regulation is critical to creating a secure and transparent trading environment,” MacDonald said. “Transparency, market surveillance, and strong consumer protections are essential to building trust and ensuring sustainable growth in the digital asset ecosystem.”
MacDonald advocated for comprehensive regulations requiring financial disclosures, enhanced market surveillance, and the segregation of customer funds to mitigate risks like market manipulation and insolvency. He concluded that by fostering trust through thoughtful regulation, the digital asset industry can achieve sustainable innovation and long-term growth.
Key Takeaways for Stakeholders
- Clarity Drives Growth: Transparent and consistent regulations reduce uncertainty, enabling businesses to innovate and scale.
- Investor Protection: Legal frameworks safeguard consumers and create an environment of trust in the digital asset market.
- Vietnam’s Opportunity: As Vietnam emerges as a key player in the digital finance ecosystem, aligning with global best practices while addressing local needs will be pivotal.
The panel at VTIS 2024 highlighted the urgent need for global regulatory consistency to enable scalability and trust in digital assets. Discussions emphasized the importance of robust frameworks that balance innovation with consumer protection, drawing lessons from leaders like Singapore and the UAE. Industry players such as Bybit were recognized for their critical role in driving compliance and fostering market stability, reinforcing the vision for adaptable legal frameworks that ensure sustainable growth in the digital asset ecosystem.
