Analyst: US Stock Trading Shifts to Coinbase, Expecting Unified Trading Experience After Merger with Deribit
Odaily News, Greeks.live Research Institute Adam posted on the X platform that recently, the IV for selling options has been relatively low and option premiums have thinned out, prompting him to explore other types of trading. He mentioned that he has always done some US stock trading, previously primarily through Chinese-language brokers, but following the tax audit风波, it has become less convenient to use them. After last month's announcement by Coinbase and Deribit, he has moved his US stock trading to Coinbase, aiming to have his margin used for both US stock and options trading after the future merger. He also expressed anticipation for the post-merger user experience, noting that spot liquidity is decent, and Advanced Trading offers products such as spot and perpetual contracts, providing a more unified trading experience without the need to switch between multiple platforms. He added that anyone trying out Coinbase's international exchange INTX ahead of time can reach out to him privately if they encounter issues.
Fee rates have been reduced, and Deribit's adjusted fee schedule has taken effect this month
Odaily News, Greeks.live Research Institute's Adam posted on the X platform, stating that Deribit's adjusted fee schedule has taken effect this month, and institutionalization is expected to become more pronounced moving forward. Overall fee rates have decreased, particularly the cap for deep out-of-the-money options for large traders, which has dropped significantly. Liquidity for deep out-of-the-money options is expected to improve, and activity in daily options is likely to increase. Spot trading will now incur transaction fees in the future, and the rates are not low.
Greeks.live: 149,000 BTC options, with a notional value of $9.6 billion, expire today
Odaily News [email protected] posted on the X platform that the options settlement data for July 31 shows that 149,000 BTC options expired, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.28, the max pain point at $64,000, and a notional value of $9.6 billion; 435,000 ETH options expired, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.63, the max pain point at $1,850, and a notional value of $830 million. Bitcoin fluctuated around $64,000 this week. As mentioned last week, the price range above $65,000 is a high-volume area formed during the early-year rally, and there is some resistance there.The U.S. stock market was quite volatile this week, but when U.S. stocks fell, funds did not flow into the crypto market, and the rebound did not drive the crypto market up either. Currently, capital inflows into crypto are limited, with trading volumes of some crypto-related U.S. stock products even surpassing many crypto assets, so conditions for an upward move are not in place. Looking at the main options data, 30% of options expired this week. On the call side, Gex is relatively dispersed, while on the put side, Gex is relatively concentrated. This month, BTC's PCR is only 0.26, with extremely low put open interest, while Ethereum's put open interest has remained relatively high.Overall IV has remained at a relatively low level for a quarter now. In Q3, we can observe rebounds when capital inflows occur. Crypto has been in an 8-month bear market, and trading attention in U.S. stocks has taken the lead. In the short term, some options can be sold, with the main trading focus placed on U.S. stocks.
