Our weekly crypto derivatives analytics report delves into macro events; the current state of crypto and trading signals from spot trading volume; and futures, options and perpetual contracts.

Positive sentiment around potential US trade deals has fueled a sixth straight day of gains in risk-on assets. Bitcoin, boosted by this sentiment and its own drivers, such as strong ETF inflows and regulatory progress, has outperformed gold and equities, rising 14% over the past month and consolidating at $94K. Bitcoin’s implied volatility has decreased significantly, while realized volatility has stabilized above 30%, a level that’s been its floor for the past 18 months.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Perp at months’ high; traders not yet all-in

After rallying from $75,000 to over $95,000 in early April, Bitcoin has traded sideways at around $94,000 this week. Open interest remains stable for April, near all-time highs at $8B, while trade volumes have decreased to $10B per day. Lower trade volumes correlate with lower realized volatility, and perp positioning suggests that traders are waiting for another rally before committing to major positions, mindful of recent sell-offs.

Bitcoin volatility declines to 18-month low

Bitcoin’s volatility has declined, nearing a previously held floor of 35–40%, a level from which it has consistently rebounded over the past 18 months. Implied volatility has followed a 10-point drop in realized volatility to just above 30%, the floor of its 18-month range. Options activity shows a preference for puts, as BTC’s spot price is remaining stable. Volatility smile skews favor out-of-the-money calls, particularly for long-term options, while short-term options are nearly neutral.

BTC volatility smiles skew toward OTM calls

Bitcoin's volatility smiles now favor out-of-the-money (OTM) calls across all tenors, recovering from a put-call skew that strongly favored puts earlier in April. Ether is showing a similar recovery at short tenors, but longer-term skew remains slightly bearish. While ETH funding rates are positive, longer-term option smiles are skewing toward puts, thus presenting mixed sentiment. For BTC, derivatives markets are indicating clearer bullish signals, including positive funding rate spikes, positively sloped futures yields and a skew toward OTM calls.

Discover how USDY, a yield-bearing stablecoin from Ondo Finance, offers secure, regulated returns backed by US Treasuries across multiple blockchains.

, which are crypto assets pegged to a major fiat asset, have gained tremendous popularity and are helping investors deal with the typical volatility of the market. For many years, stablecoin cryptocurrencies have been used for payments, principal value storage, B2B transactions and more. However, traditional stablecoins have always lacked the ability to generate yield. These assets are fixed at a certain rate (e.g., $1) and, due to inflation, they don’t protect against your funds’ value erosion. 

 have started to gain traction over the past several years. These "new generation" stablecoins, unlike their traditional counterparts, not only provide rate stability but also generate yields, growing your investment over time. One of the leading assets among yield-bearing stablecoins is US Dollar Yield (USDY), issued by Ondo USDY LLC, part of 

Backed by low-risk traditional finance (TradFi) reserves, USDY generates yields and is a fully composable asset that can be used throughout the DeFi ecosystems of multiple blockchains. The reserves and issuance of the stablecoin are also subject to high regulatory controls. In the world of yield-bearing stablecoins, USDY is among the top choices in terms of popularity, regulation and security.

What is the Ondo US Dollar Yield (USDY) Token?

 (USDY) is a yield-bearing stablecoin offered by Ondo USDY LLC, part of the Ondo Finance DeFi solutions provider. 

USDY’s value tracks that of the US dollar, and it’s backed by Treasury bills and demand deposit reserves. The coin issuer’s parent company, Ondo Finance, specializes in institutional-grade crypto solutions. Ondo aims to make on-chain institutional-grade finance tools and infrastructure accessible to anyone.

USDY was launched in August 2023. As of April 2025, the stablecoin has become available on 

 — a level of multichain coverage that few other stablecoins can match.

While USDY’s price tracks the US dollar’s, its rate is typically somewhat higher than $1 because yields earned by each unit of the stablecoin are added to it, increasing its nominal value.

 (RWAs), primarily Treasury bills, although some portion of the reserves may also be represented by bank demand deposits. Both of these financial asset types are considered cash equivalents.

To ensure the Ondo ecosystem's security, Ondo backs each $100 equivalent of USDY with reserves worth $104, maintaining a 4% overcollateralization rate at all times.

Ondo Finance takes the transparency of USDY seriously. The company has established a bankruptcy-remote mechanism, with a separate corporate entity controlling the issuance and oversight of the stablecoin in various ways, including a board of directors with an independent director, and segregation of assets and reporting from Ondo.

USDY is a fully composable asset that can be used in the DeFi ecosystems of its host blockchains for various purposes, such as collateral, 

USDY provides several significant benefits for its holders. First, it allows eligible individual and institutional investors to earn dollar-denominated yield. This is in contrast to traditional stablecoins, which provide no yield opportunities at all. While other yield-bearing stablecoins also generate returns for holders, some of these pay the yields in volatile cryptocurrencies, rather than high-quality assets.

Thanks to its dollar peg, USDY offers both yield and relative stability. Additionally, it’s fully composable, creating opportunities for use across various DeFi protocols. USDY is available on seven blockchains, providing access to more DeFi opportunities than most yield-bearing stablecoins.

The coin may also be used for passive holding, growing in value over time as yields accrue. In this capacity, USDY represents a good low-risk, on-chain investment opportunity.

Finally, USDY’s overcollateralization and backing by high-quality TradFi assets, Treasury bills and demand deposits make it one of the most secure yield-bearing stablecoins on the market.

How does Ondo US Dollar Yield (USDY) work?

Individuals and institutional entities need to undergo an onboarding process to acquire USDY, during which they submit relevant identity, legal and tax documents. Ondo diligently applies 

 (AML) checks in order to adhere to US securities laws, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other relevant regulations.

US and UK residents cannot apply to buy USDY, although you may be eligible if you’re a US or UK citizen and reside abroad.

If your application is approved, you can be issued USDY 40 to 50 days after your initial deposit date, although you’ll start earning yield from the first day of your investment. The minimum amount for investment or redemption is $500. You can buy USDY from Ondo using the 

 stablecoin. US dollar wire transfers are also supported for amounts over $100,000.

Redemptions are only transferred in US dollars to bank accounts outside the US. You can redeem your USDY investment at any time, and the typical timeline to receive your funds is about 2–3 business days from the date of your request.

USDY accrues yield daily. The stablecoin’s yields are structured not to incur any US federal tax obligations. Ondo doesn’t charge any performance or management fees for USDY yields. However, the company earns income from a portion of yields generated by the underlying assets backing USDY.

As noted earlier, USDY’s yields accrue to each unit of the token. Therefore, the value of one USDY is usually above $1. For instance, the average value of USDY as of the time of this writing (Apr 30, 2025) is $1.11.

For investors who prefer a fixed $1 rate for the stablecoin, Ondo offers the rebasing version, called rUSDY. Yields for rUSDY are paid to your wallet in the form of additional tokens by increasing the supply of the crypto, while the principal remains at (or very close to) $1. This is known as rebasing. USDY and rUSDY are freely convertible between each other.

The rebased version of the coin might be useful to those who need to ensure rate stability (for example, for B2B payments of agreed-upon contractual amounts) while also earning yields from their investments.

 as a swap pair with the USDT stablecoin.

USDY boasts numerous benefits for investors — low-risk yields from high-quality traditional assets, wide multichain coverage, regulatory compliance, transparency, composability and rate stability. The combination of all these benefits is quite rare in the crypto market, and the investor community is definitely taking note: USDY is already the third-highest-ranked yield-bearing stablecoin by market cap as of late April 2025. 

Since the yield-bearing stablecoin niche is expanding, the advantages of the USDY are likely to attract further interest, both among the institutional crowd and with individuals keen to access high-quality, institutional-grade crypto products.

Discover the 7 top Sui meme coins in 2025, from MIU to HIPPO, as they gain traction with fast growth, strong communities, and unique use cases.

 blockchains, have continued to rally as investors make bold moves with renewed risk appetites. As a 

 blockchain, Sui has continued to attract crypto enthusiasts — especially meme coin lovers, who appreciate the platform's speed and affordability.

Recent surges in trading volumes and market caps of SUI meme coins — such as MIU, LOFI and BLUB — highlight growing investor interest. For instance, BLUB experienced an 88% increase in just 24 hours from Apr 22–23, 2025, contributing to the broader rally of SUI as its price surged over 63% in April 2025.

These coins often incorporate unique themes and philanthropic efforts, such as HIPPO's wildlife conservation donations, that foster strong community support.

Let's look at the top Sui meme coins making waves in the crypto market.

​Sui-based meme coins are rapidly gaining traction due to a combination of technological advantages and vibrant community engagement. The 

 parallel transaction execution and unique gas pricing mechanism enable ultrafast transaction speeds and minimal fees. This makes Sui an ideal platform for the high-volume, speculative trading that meme coins often entail. Sui’s scalability and secure Move programming language attract developers seeking efficient and safe environments for launching their new tokens.​

 (NFT) opportunities on its platform. It also promotes long-term commitment via its 

 process, as stakers can earn up to 15% APR with 12 months of staking.

The project frequently launches community events and contests, strengthening its dedicated holder base. MIU’s success highlights the growing appetite for meme tokens on scalable blockchains like Sui. Its playful appeal and strong tokenomics have positioned it at the top of the ​Sui meme sector. MIU is a 

 coin: its total supply is 9 trillion tokens, of which 55% are dedicated to a

MIU continues to ride the wave of growing meme adoption, aiming to become a lasting force within the Sui ecosystem and beyond.

With a market cap of $35.86 million and over 50 million app users, 

 (MEMEFI) is an ambitious Telegram project that blends the world of memes with SocialFi utilities. Unlike typical meme coins that rely solely on hype, MemeFi aims to engage Telegram users with an interactive web3 meme-themed clicker game that offers daily giveaways and incentivizes ad creations for enterprises.

Its native token, MEMEFI, is more than just a mere meme coin, and has use cases for

 is a rising ​Sui meme coin known for its chill "lofi vibes" branding that resonates with a younger, internet-native audience. Beyond its fun appearance, LOFI has demonstrated solid growth by tapping into communities through music, lifestyle and crypto.

The project also ties in eco-conscious initiatives, focusing on providing clean water sources for global communities and addressing the impact of ocean waste and plastic on marine health, giving it a mission-driven angle not typically seen in meme coins. Besides direct donating, minting LOFI Mystic Yetis NFTs also helps contribute to the cause, with 20% of the proceeds going to the LOFI Foundation.

Lofi’s accessible vibe and shrewd marketing strategy continue to attract new supporters, helping LOFI to stand out in the increasingly crowded ​Sui meme scene. 

 (commonly known as HIPPO) is a community favorite in the ​Sui meme world. The HIPPO token mixes humor with philanthropy, donating a portion of its revenues to wildlife conservation initiatives, starting with Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo that houses Moo Deng, the adorable pygmy hippopotamus that inspired this viral meme coin. This feel-good approach has helped build an extremely loyal community around the HIPPO token.

Sudeng’s dual focus on memes and real-world impact gives it staying power. The project’s growing community engagement ensures that HIPPO remains relevant in a fast-moving crypto space.

As it continues building partnerships and expanding its reach, BLUB demonstrates strong potential to become a staple in the Sui meme scene.

 (TOILET) is a rising meme coin on ​Sui that embraces humor and absurdity in a way that resonates with crypto culture. Its branding focuses on being intentionally ridiculous, tapping into the viral tone of meme coins that don't take themselves too seriously.

The project’s organic, community-driven growth has made it one of the most talked-about newer entrants in the ​Sui meme space. Frequent meme contests, community raids and spontaneous airdrops help fuel engagement. One of its biggest events is the distribution of Toilet Club Alpha Pass NFTs to the top 100 TOILET holders (as indicated by the Apr 21, 2025 screenshot), which gives holders access to all of Toilet Dust's projects and events and the right to vote on Toilet Dust's future development.

Despite its humorous façade, TOILET’s strong holder base and active marketing tactics suggest it may remain relevant as Sui’s meme coin ecosystem continues to expand.

 (FUD), another top project in the ​Sui meme coin category, is built around an adorable pug mascot battling FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) in the crypto world. With a humorous tone and clever marketing, FUD has built a vibrant community of holders who embrace both its memes and its mission.

FUD leverages trending memes, contests and airdrop rewards to keep its community marketing fresh and viral, helping it steadily grow in popularity. Its deep integration of ​Sui apps like

Currently, you can buy MEMEFI as a Spot pair and Perpetual contract on Bybit. HIPPO is also available as a Perpetual contract. This gives traders the flexibility to choose the type of exposure they want — simple buying and holding with Spot, or leveraged trading with Perpetual contracts.

Spot trading is the most straightforward way to buy ​Sui meme coins, as you directly purchase the coin and own it outright. On Bybit, the process is simple. After choosing the Spot pair, such as MEMEFI/USDT, select your preferred order type — e.g., 

(you set the price you're willing to pay) — and confirm the trade to make your purchase.

Spot trading is ideal for beginning traders, as well as anyone who prefers a more straightforward, lower-risk approach as compared to 

Buying Sui meme coins as Perpetual contracts

Bybit offers MEMEFI and HIPPO as USDT Perpetual contracts for those seeking more advanced trading options. With Perpetual trading, you don’t own the actual coins; instead, you speculate on their price movement. Key points to understand include the following:

Perpetual contracts can offer significant rewards, but require a strong understanding of

The final months between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 have been exceptionally good for the crypto market. As of mid-January 2025, the market's two leading assets, 

 (ETH), have posted three-month growth rates of around 48% and 28%, respectively. However, these numbers pale in comparison to the boom in one specialized niche of the cryptocurrency world — the category of AI agents. Many leading assets in this category have achieved three-month growth rates in triple and even quadruple percentage numbers. The category's current star performer, Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), has appreciated in price by over 4,000% during this period.

To say that AI agent tokens are now all the rage in the market amounts to a gross understatement. These assets are growing at unprecedented rates, and unlike meme coins, which are also known for recent meteoric rises, AI agent cryptocurrencies are propped up by some of the most innovative technologies invented by humanity —artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

In this article, we’ll look at the 11 best AI agent cryptocurrencies that should be on the 2025 watchlist of any crypto investor who has an appetite for risk and investment in innovative assets.

 are smart programs, based on AI and ML technologies, capable of autonomously executing sophisticated actions that generally require human oversight or reasoning abilities. On blockchain platforms, AI agents independently perform automated trading on 

 (DeFi) protocols, monitoring of markets and news, posting on social media networks, participating in games, executing governance procedures on 

AI agents are a more sophisticated form of bots, which were earlier autonomous programs. While bots are capable of executing some predefined actions based on certain triggers, AI agents can carry out more advanced actions, including learning from their own behaviors and adjusting their performance based on them.

 world, AI agents have found use cases in a wide variety of crypto-based applications. Within the web3 industry, AI agents are typically tokenized on blockchain in the form of 

 (NFTs) or, in some cases, fungible cryptocurrencies. In turn, cryptocurrencies are also used to monetize the revenue-generating activities of AI agents. For instance, a DeFi AI agent might accumulate the revenues from its trading activities in the cryptocurrency used to power its functionality.

As such, AI agent cryptocurrencies are typically issued for the direct purpose of enabling agents' operations. In some cases, these cryptocurrencies might also represent utility or governance tokens on AI agent–related platforms.

The AI agent category is one of the highest-growing niches (if not the highest-growing niche) in the crypto market. In our review, we’ve included 11 crypto tokens from this category that investors interested in AI technology and potentially making a profit in a high-growth/high-risk investment environment are advised to keep an eye on. Below, we report prices, market caps and other relevant statistics for these assets, valid as of the day of writing (Jan 16, 2025). Please note that this category is highly volatile, and the numbers can therefore change rapidly.

The first AI agent crypto we start with is also the one that’s currently making the biggest splash in the sea of AI-based web3. 

 (VIRTUAL) is a decentralized protocol on the 

 Layer 2 chain. It lets anyone create and deploy autonomous AI agents for a variety of use cases. The protocol's AI agents are characters that interact with other users, trade on DeFi platforms, participate in social media discussions, monitor markets and perform countless different activities.

Using the protocol, you can create co-owned agents with revenue-generation capabilities. Besides the platform’s native token, VIRTUAL, the protocol supports the issuance of other AI agent cryptos that power the tokenization and monetization of specific agents and activities. Demand for its AI agents continues to rise, with approximately 14,600 agents cumulatively launched since Nov 2, 2024.

The VIRTUAL token is experiencing a massive surge, having appreciated by more than 4,000% over the past three months. This is one of the best performances across the entire crypto market and within the high-growth AI agent niche. The token's current price is $3.70, and its market cap stands at $3.66 billion, making it one of only three AI agent cryptocurrencies to sport a market cap of over $1 billion.

 (AI16Z) is a DeFi platform that uses a powerful AI agent, “Marc AIndreessen”, to make investment decisions and allocate users' funds as a full-fledged investment manager. The 

 (SOL)–based protocol can take the credit for being the world's first truly AI agent-managed venture capital (VC) outfit. Of course, ai16z and “Marc AIndreessen” are tongue-in-cheek references to a16z, also known as Andreessen Horowitz, and its co-founder, Marc Andreessen. Besides the resemblance in names, however, the ai16z protocol has no connection to the investment world's giant or its famous co-founder.

The platform adopts a community-driven governance and decision-making model. Holders of the AI16Z token, collaborating as a DAO, propose potential projects and assets for “AI Marc's” consideration. The AI agent has the final say on how to invest the community's funds and manage the investments.

Launched in late October 2024, the AI16Z token has been on the market for less than three months. In this short time frame, this AI agent cryptocurrency has grown in value by more than 2,200%, rising to the third position by market cap in the AI agent category. Clearly, investors feel enthusiastic about AI agent–based crypto investment management.

Currently, AI16Z is trading at $1.50 and has a market cap of $1.65 billion.

 (AIXBT) is an AI agent–based crypto market intelligence and monitoring solution. It’s one of the solutions and tokens leveraging Virtuals Protocol to power their operations to support specific use cases. AIXBT focuses on tracking external sources to deliver the best possible market insights and intelligence. As such, it tracks and analyzes the opinions of hundreds of key opinion leaders (KOLs) in the crypto trading and investment sphere to guide users to the best possible opportunities.

As of the time of writing, AIXBT is trading at $0.882 with a market cap of $756 million.

 (GRIFFAIN) is another AI agent platform built on the Solana blockchain, specifically focusing on automating DeFi operations. Using Griffain's AI agents, cryptocurrency users and traders can automate tasks like 

Two primary types of agents are available via the platform — personal agents and special agents. The former are used for common 

 operations — such as wallet management and data analysis — while the latter are utilized for more sophisticated activities, e.g., NFT flipping or token sniping.

The platform’s native token, GRIFFAIN, is trading at $0.5682, with a market cap of $566 million.

 (ZEREBRO) is an AI-powered automated content creation engine. As a smart computer program, Zerebro can listen to and analyze content and narratives across various web3 and social network environments. It then automatically creates and disseminates creative content generated based on the analyses. The content generation engine focuses on art, music and memes. In particular, its content generation AI models are fine-tuned to create thought-provoking content with the potential for virality.

The ZEREBRO token’s current price is $0.322, and its market cap stands at $326 million.

 (ARC) is a framework developed in the Rust programming language to help integrate AI services and agents into web3 platforms. It provides tools to easily create highly modular, scalable AI applications capable of listening and adapting to user interactions and context. The platform offers developers a set of libraries based on Rust to create high-performance AI systems that can be embedded into various apps and environments.

The platform’s native cryptocurrency, ARC, is currently trading at $0.48 and has a market cap of $481 million.

 (PHA) is a decentralized platform that offers a highly secure environment in which to run AI models. The platform provides a trusted execution environment (TEE), in which AI algorithms can be executed, that’s protected with encryption to ensure the highest degree of security. After AI computations are processed on the TEE 

 environment for further validation. Phala’s technology combines the security of trusted execution with high scalability, and represents a fusion of blockchain and cloud processing.

The platform’s native token, PHA, currently trades at $0.3565, with a market cap of $276 million.

 (SWARMS) is a web3 app that offers businesses AI agents to automate diverse tasks and procedures. Many of the AI models and solutions offered by Swarms are based on large language models (LLMs), a type of generative AI technology that’s become highly popular after the introduction of ChatGPT. Swarms also offers solutions whereby multiple AI agents collaborate to complete complex tasks, with each agent specializing in one specific job function.

The SWARMS token is trading at $0.207 and has a market cap of $208 million.

Ava AI (AVA) is an AI agent that acts as your personal assistant to automate a variety of work tasks and streamline your general workflow. Ava is the first AI agent launched via 

, a platform that lets you create highly customizable virtual assistants with unique traits. Using Holoworld AI’s agent creation tool, you can choose specific configurations for your agent, such as its personality, looks, skills, voice and even wearables.

The Ava AI–bound cryptocurrency, AVA, is currently trading at $0.2675, with a market cap of $276 million.

 (ALCH) lets users create and deploy AI agents and applications without coding by using natural language prompts. Alchemist AI’s platform leverages LLM algorithms to analyze users’ input and identify key requirements, features and functionalities for the desired applications. It then automatically generates production-ready code for the front-end and back-end components of the system. The application generated via Alchemist's AI models even undergoes testing for further fine-tuning and adjustments. Finally, the application is integrated with external services and platforms using a set of APIs.

Alchemist's ALCH token is trading at $0.1579, with a market cap of $134 million.

 (FARTCOIN), rather than a classic AI agent cryptocurrency, since this crypto was largely inspired by an AI chatbot called 

. The Truth Terminal bot was created in 2024 by New Zealander Andy Ayrey to promote a meme-based quasi-religion online. It has invited copious discussions on the use and dangers of AI bots and associated technology.

In response to the Truth Terminal experiment, an anonymous developer launched Fartcoin on Solana in October 2024. Fartcoin aims to promote humor, community engagement and a lighthearted approach to cryptocurrency by leveraging good old meme culture.

Despite its humorous nature, the FARTCOIN token has been embraced by the market in the most serious way. Between its launch date in late October 2024 and Jan 16, 2025, the token's price increased by more than 4,900% and currently stands at $1.25, with a market cap of slightly over $1 billion.

The AI agent coins we've discussed in detail above are currently enjoying unprecedented attention from investors. Many of these assets may continue to deliver excellent returns in the future as well. At the same time, it’s advisable to keep in mind the volatile nature of this niche, as outstanding returns come with the risk of sudden declines and negative growth rates. Thus, before investing in any of these cryptos, be sure to 

 on each project’s specifics, background and future plans. 

Regardless of your immediate investment goals, these AI agent cryptocurrencies are worth keeping an eye on as 2025 progresses.
