This episode features Mark Longo and Greg Magadini from Amberdata analyzing the latest trends in the crypto derivatives market. The show begins with a discussion on Bitcoin's surprising stability over the past two weeks and how its market behavior is diverging from gold. Greg notes the significant shift to a negative long-term skew, suggesting a new, more mature risk asset mentality among institutional traders. The hosts then dive into the most active crypto-related equities like IBIT, MARA, and MSTU, with a special, humorous segment on the new, highly volatile stock, ETHZilla. They close with a look at the altcoin market and a Crypto Questions segment on the viability of physically-settled vs. cash-settled crypto derivatives, with an overwhelming majority of listeners favoring the latter.
