ChainCatcher news, the encrypted market maker Wintermute released a market research report indicating that recently, driven by ETF fund outflows, concerns over SOL unlocks, and liquidity issues following the Bybiy hack, the cryptocurrency market accelerated its decline when Trump announced new tariff policies, exacerbating trade war fears. Market risk aversion began to intensify, with nearly $3 billion in long leveraged positions being liquidated.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently significantly reduced its enforcement actions against cryptocurrency companies, including:Agreeing to withdraw its lawsuit against Coinbase;Ending the investigation into OpenSea;Concluding the investigation related to Robinhood's cryptocurrency listings;Suspending the investigation into Uniswap's facilitation of unregistered securities;Ending the nearly two-year investigation into Gemini's yield program;This regulatory thaw marks a significant reversal from the previous administration's approach, with the SEC seemingly reassessing its stance toward the cryptocurrency industry.Bitcoin ETF net outflows hit a record, with $2.5 billion flowing out last week, including a single-day outflow of $1 billion, bringing the total outflow for February to $3.3 billion (compared to the previous record of $343 million set in April 2024). The CME futures basis dropped from 22% in December to a low of 4% last week, significantly reducing the profitability of basis trading strategies. Futures indicators reflect this shift: open interest fell to $13 billion, and monthly trading volume dropped to $247 billion, with both sides at their lowest levels since October 2024.The significant market reversal following Trump's announcement of a "cryptocurrency strategic reserve" on Sunday reveals that the cryptocurrency market is now highly sensitive to administrative signals. The market's reaction exceeded the actual content of the announcement, which largely reiterated the executive order from January. The unwinding of Bitcoin ETF arbitrage strategies highlights the increasingly tight integration between traditional markets and the cryptocurrency market, with both sides now responding quickly to each other's movements. As institutional cryptocurrency products and platform services expand, these cross-market dynamics and competitive user activities may intensify.

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport indicates that the crypto market is currently in a risk-off mode, influenced by macroeconomic uncertainty, leading to the unwinding of many long futures positions. As prices decline, the open interest in futures has significantly decreased, showing that the escalation of the trade war and the Fed's continued hawkish stance have prompted some traders to exit long positions.It is noteworthy that Ethereum's open interest has dropped to its lowest level since the summer of 2024. Despite Trump's recent mention on Twitter of possibly establishing a "Bitcoin strategic reserve," and the White House crypto summit scheduled for March 7, the market overall still exhibits risk-off sentiment, with investors generally reducing their risk exposure. Many traders seem to be waiting for clearer macroeconomic signals before re-entering the market.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Kraken's derivatives head Alexia Theodorou stated that crypto traders are buying Bitcoin on Kraken as its price has dropped to a three-month low. Bitcoin has fallen below $88,000, while Nasdaq futures indicate that Wall Street's risk-averse sentiment continues, with the yen, as a safe-haven currency, and commodity currencies like the Australian dollar, which are sensitive to growth, remaining strong.The decline in BTC occurred after Binance futures saw an increase of $1 billion in open contracts on Monday evening, likely due to traders anticipating further price drops and establishing short positions. However, bottom-fishing buyers have purchased BTC through Kraken, pushing the long-to-short ratio of perpetual contracts to a record 0.8. This suggests that traders may be expecting a rebound and are "buying the dip."

ChainCatcher news, according to Greeks.live macro researcher Adam's post on the X platform, this week is the U.S. election week. Currently, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the U.S. elections. Over the past month, Trump's popularity has been high, but Harris's chances of winning are gradually increasing during the election process. The U.S. elections have a significant impact on the entire market. There is also a monetary policy meeting on Friday, and the market generally expects a 25 basis point rate cut. Currently, the cryptocurrency market is primarily in a wait-and-see mode for risk aversion. This week's at-the-money implied volatility (IV) has risen to 80%, and this month's options IV is significantly higher than that of long-term options. There may be significant market movements in the coming days.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the New Zealand dollar weakened against the US dollar in the Asian market. US President Biden said on Wednesday that the G7 is coordinating a response to Iran's attacks on Israel, which includes implementing new sanctions on Tehran.Analysts at Malaysia Bank stated in a foreign exchange research and strategy report that investors continue to seek refuge in the dollar, noting that they may be affected by sanctions. The analysts mentioned that better-than-expected US ADP data also boosted the dollar.

ChainCatcher news, according to Coindesk, 10x Research believes that if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) on September 18, the originally bullish liquidity easing cycle may have adverse effects on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.It is reported that a 50 basis point adjustment typically indicates an urgency to control inflation and triggers a risk-averse sentiment in financial markets. A 50 basis point rate cut next week may signal heightened concerns about the economy or a feeling of lagging in addressing the impending economic slowdown, leading investors to reduce their exposure to risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and stocks.Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, stated: "While a 50 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve may indicate greater market concerns, the Fed's primary focus will be on mitigating economic risks rather than managing market reactions."

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Bitfinex analysts stated that the U.S. presidential candidate debate between Harris and Trump sparked risk-averse sentiment in the crypto market, marking a "sell the news" event, with risk-averse trading behavior intensifying after the debate.Analysts emphasized that Trump's victory is generally seen as favorable for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Considering the recent news regarding his DeFi project and his campaign promise to remove SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, his involvement in the cryptocurrency space is now quite evident.
