BTC Options Open Interest Returns to Previous High While Perps Are Catching Up

Derivatives traders have been actively participating in BTC markets as 

 on Bybit has surged to over $3 billion, on par with the previous high on Nov 14, 2024. Although the options OI has increased, it still hasn’t surged above the previous high. At the time, BTC’s price had already jumped to over $97,000. If the OI doesn’t follow suit and break above the previous high in the coming days, this could be a sign that the market could become a bit exhausted — something for all market participants to be aware of.

 have also seen increased open interest in recent days. Perpetuals have been among the most favorable products for day traders and short-term speculators. Rising open interest could indicate that more traders are looking for short-term profit, which could bring additional volatility to the market.

Meanwhile, the market’s optimism that BTC will hit $100,000 by the end of the year seems to support the current price momentum. Shorter-dated options could show that traders are also looking for downside protection. The Bybit 

 page shows that BTC Options with a Nov 29, 2024 expiration have a strong 24-hour inflow to $90,000 puts. This could indicate that some traders are also anticipating some degree of price correction by the end of the month.

 for BTC Options on Bybit also indicates a possible downside protection in play among options traders. A smirk skew, or left skew, is a skew curve that’s steeper on one side (the left side) than the other. Traditionally, a smirk skew curve could mean that traders have been protecting their portfolios against a possible declining market. At the time of this writing (Nov 21, 2024), BTC Options contracts on Bybit with Nov 29, 2024 and Dec 27, 2024 expirations have both shown a smirk skew. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean traders are bearish on the price, and could just be part of the trading strategy. For example, traders could set up collars by buying out-of-the-money (OTM) puts and selling OTM calls simultaneously, so that they can profit in case BTC’s price drops, gain upside exposure and potentially offset the cost of buying the puts.

Learn From Smart Money: BTC’s Leverage Remains High as Traders Hedge Against Downside Risks

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

Spot prices have jumped significantly in the two weeks following the November 5, 2024 U.S. elections, propelling Bitcoin to new all-time highs, while Ethereum hasn’t kept pace. The implied volatility term structure has inverted again in tandem with these spot price movements, although longer-dated tenors remain relatively stable. Derivatives market indicators reflect strong positive sentiment: perpetual funding rates are consistently positive, open interest in futures contracts is rapidly increasing and options skew remains firmly positive.

Open interest in futures has surged, indicating heightened market participation and a growing interest in leveraged exposure due to recent price movements. Similarly, open interest in perpetual contracts has sharply increased, fueled by rising trader confidence and a growing demand for leveraged positions in light of recent market rallies. Meanwhile, the implied volatility term structure continues to invert in alignment with spot price increases, demonstrating a sustained correlation between spot prices and volatility.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Futures Open Interest Reaches ATH Along With Price

Perpetual swap open interest has been increasing alongside futures, with a consistent rise in open positions over the past week reaching all-time high activity levels. This trend suggests that traders are actively pursuing leveraged exposure in response to the ongoing spot rallies, aiming to capitalize on the rising spot prices. Notably, there’s been renewed interest in Ethereum (ETH), reflected in rising trading volumes. 

Perpetual swap funding rates have reached exceptionally positive levels, indicating that long positions are confident enough to pay these rates to sustain their leveraged exposure. This trend has consistently been observed across all tokens, with a noticeable rise in funding rates since Nov 10, 2024. The persistently high funding rates highlight the strength of the bullish sentiment, which is also evident in the increasing open interest in futures contracts. This aligns with the recent spot price action, demonstrating significant upward momentum.

Option Volatility Term Structure Inverts 

The implied volatility term structure for Bitcoin has inverted amid the recent spot rallies over the past few weeks, indicating heightened market uncertainty and expectations of imminent price movements. However, levels haven’t exceeded the highs seen before the elections, and longer-dated tenors remain firmly range-bound. Concurrently, open interest in Bitcoin options has risen significantly, with a notable increase in put trading volumes. Open interest in puts has slightly surpassed calls, despite the persistently bullish market outlook indicated by the volatility smile skew.

LETSTOP is a drive-to-earn mobile app that monitors phone distractions while driving. Learn more about how it works in this article.

Smartphone distractions have created an unprecedented road safety crisis worldwide. 

: texting behind the wheel makes drivers six times more likely to crash than drunk driving does — yet millions of drivers still use their phones while operating vehicles.

This article explores how LETSTOP is transforming safe driving into rewarding experiences through blockchain technology. We'll examine its drive-to-earn model, reward system, tokenomics and potential as both a road safety solution and an investment opportunity.

 is a drive-to-earn mobile app that monitors phone distractions while driving. Users earn STOP tokens for phone-free driving through a gamified system that transforms daily drives into rewarding experiences.

A life-changing car accident caused by a distracted driver running a red light inspired LETSTOP co-founder Almog Nissan to reimagine road safety. Together with co-founder and CEO Dor Levy, they envisioned rewarding safe driving, rather than just punishing dangerous behavior.

The founders built a platform that combines automotive technology, cryptocurrency and AI to revolutionize road safety through rewards. This innovative approach has quickly gained traction, with over 50,000 users logging over 3 million kilometers of safe driving since the app’s launch.

Distracted driving claims thousands of lives annually, with 

, of which 9% are directly linked to phone use. LETSTOP aims to tackle this crisis as follows:

Each of these objectives works harmoniously to support LETSTOP's ultimate mission of transforming road safety into a rewarding experience that benefits both individual drivers and society.

The LETSTOP app operates through a sophisticated system that monitors and rewards safe driving through the following apps and features:

The result is a dynamic system in which better driving habits unlock greater earning potential.

The following five core features power LETSTOP's drive-to-earn ecosystem.

LETSTOP uses a dynamic 40-level system to make safe driving rewarding. As drivers earn XP through distraction-free journeys, they advance from Level 1's 2% bonus toward Level 40's 70% boost. Through this gamified approach, daily commutes become opportunities to climb the ranks while building safer driving habits.

LETSTOP Credits are the core currency of the platform, earned directly through safe driving achievements. Earning rates directly scale with user level, vehicle type and subscription tier as follows: PRO subscribers enjoy unlimited earning potential, while PLUS and LITE tiers are capped at 300 and 150 monthly credits, respectively.

In the STOP Store, users invest their earned credits into virtual cars with unique earning multipliers. From the basic model's 2% bonus to the Jazzster GN's 150% boost, each vehicle offers different strategic advantages for maximizing rewards.

Beyond vehicles, the store features mystery boxes containing rewards from 10 to 450 credits, as well as car upgrades and subscription boosts. Users can also access a voucher marketplace to redeem credits for real-world rewards through LETSTOP's partnership network.

LETSTOP's triple-boost system combines vehicle multipliers for immediate earnings acceleration, a level-progression system for sustained growth and a 5% referral program for community expansion. Premium membership unlocks enhanced benefits across three tiers, while special events create time-limited opportunities for increased rewards.

The platform's comprehensive rewards system operates across three membership tiers, each one tailored to different user needs. LETSTOP PRO (at $9.90 monthly) offers unlimited credit earning potential and exclusive benefits. The PLUS tier provides a balanced option at $4.90 monthly with a 300-credit earning cap, while the free LITE tier allows users to earn up to 150 monthly credits.

Beyond direct earnings, the rewards system incorporates partner vouchers, cryptocurrency conversion options and community features, such as leaderboards. Achievement rewards recognize milestones in users' safe driving journeys, while the upcoming cryptocurrency integration will allow users to convert their efforts into tradeable STOP tokens.

LETSTOP has shown consistent progress, with the following key milestones already achieved:

Looking ahead to 2025, LETSTOP plans to implement the following key developments:

These developments aim to strengthen LETSTOP's position as a leader in drive-to-earn while furthering its mission to enable safer roads worldwide.

STOP is an SPL token built on the Solana network. It’s designed to bridge safe driving behavior with cryptocurrency rewards. The STOP token implements an annual halving mechanism to ensure long-term value preservation, similar to Bitcoin's model, but accelerated to align with the project's growth trajectory.

STOP has a max supply of 100 million tokens, to be distributed in the following manner:

The growing adoption of LETSTOP's drive-to-earn app and its impact on road safety directly influence STOP's price trajectory. While cryptocurrency forecasts remain speculative by nature, multiple price analysis platforms project the following for STOP:

These forecasts suggest a positive long-term outlook for STOP, driven by the growing drive-to-earn sector and LETSTOP's innovative approach to road safety. However, STOP's future value will ultimately depend upon user adoption, platform development and broader market conditions.

Blockchain interoperability is the capacity for blockchains to exchange and leverage each other’s data while seamlessly transferring assets. Find out more here.

 is a term used to describe the next generation of the internet. In theory, it will run on verifiable digital ledgers called 

 and provide users with a truly decentralized network. In order for this grand idea to come to fruition, however, different blockchains must be able to exchange data and digital assets. 

 comes in. By devising ways to connect different blockchains, engineers can build an interconnected Web 3.0 ecosystem. In this article, you’ll learn how this new technology is evolving — and how it could change the world.

Blockchain interoperability is the capacity for blockchains to exchange and leverage each other’s data while seamlessly transferring digital assets.

Cross-chain technology can connect networks and facilitate the development of exciting new products.

How Does Blockchain Interoperability Work?

Because every blockchain is different, multiple approaches to interoperability are necessary. What all the approaches share is an absence of third-party integration, thereby maintaining Web 3.0’s status as a decentralized technology. One common tactic to complete transactions across blockchains is called an 

. Another popular mechanism, a relay, connects two blockchains and allows 

 on each of them to check for activity on the other.

While atomic swaps and relays are the main strategies for implementing blockchain interoperability, other methods are beginning to gain traction. This technology is still in its earliest stages of development — and there’s no telling what innovations the future has in store.

Why Is Blockchain Interoperability Important?

By definition, networks grow with greater levels of interconnectedness. Investors, gamers and anyone else involved with Web 3.0 will be able to get more out of blockchain technology if blockchains are connected to each other. The whole point of crypto is to avoid intermediaries, so third-party institutions that oversee transactions between blockchains aren’t an acceptable solution. Only by actually connecting the networks in an integral way can interoperability be achieved without sacrificing the main objective: Decentralization.

Blockchain interoperability will increase efficiency throughout the Web 3.0 ecosystem. It will allow users to quickly exchange data and assets across blockchains, thereby increasing flexibility for everyone involved. Instead of being stuck on a single chain, smart contracts will be functional on different systems. These advances will have beneficial consequences for everyday users. As new technologies overcome the existing constraints to blockchain interoperability, Web 3.0 will come closer to fulfilling its potential.

How Is Blockchain Interoperability Achieved?

In a perfect world, all blockchains would contain built-in features that allow for simple blockchain interoperability. Unfortunately, most blockchain technology still lacks these integral features. Engineers have consequently come up with several alternative methods to achieve blockchain interoperability. These special tools can connect blockchain networks and facilitate the easy transfer of data between them.

Sidechains are blockchain networks designed for compatibility with a single “mainchain.” This networking approach provides the basis for many blockchain interoperability projects. Each blockchain has its own system, replete with a unique token, 

 and security parameters. Every chain serves different purposes and gives users distinct advantages. Connecting these sidechains to a single mainchain creates an interoperable blockchain network with greater flexibility and adaptability than a single chain.

 are pieces of technology that connect the data on a blockchain with the 

 world. Smart contracts on blockchains often require off-chain information in order to run properly. Oracles provide a tidy way to give these on-chain mechanisms the data they need. Not only do oracles help smart contracts run properly, but they can also provide a common reference point for separate blockchains.

 and swaps give traders exciting ways to transfer assets across blockchains. As the name suggests, cross-chain bridges connect two blockchains in a way that lets an asset effectively “cross over.” The technology works by locking the asset on one blockchain, then minting an identical asset on the other. While the asset doesn’t actually move from one chain to the other, the buyer on the receiving end still receives the asset they’ve paid for while the seller loses access to it.

Atomics swaps, mentioned above, allow traders to exchange assets across blockchains in a decentralized manner. Like cross-chain bridges, these transactions are completed within the structure of smart contracts, making them fair and secure. These are just the types of creative solutions that could revolutionize blockchain technology.

Cross-chain technology could have a monumental impact on the larger Web 3.0 ecosystem. As it currently stands, the crypto world consists of separate blockchains, each with its own set of rules and norms. If people can connect those blockchains once and for all, the resulting network will provide people of all customs and inclinations with an incredible slate of new opportunities.

Interoperability is Web 2.0’s most attractive feature. In order for 

 to gain mainstream popularity, smart contracts, 

 and other programs will need to operate across the entire blockchain ecosystem. Once blockchains are connected, private and public networks will be able to share information in a controlled manner. Digital services will accept different types of tokens, and digital wallets will gain multi-token capabilities. All of this will significantly increase the value of blockchain networks for users.

Practically every industry has a use for blockchain technology. Companies working within separate industries would like to communicate with each other and share data, but it becomes difficult if they’re working in separate blockchains. When chains are connected within a single network, industries can exchange data, learn from each other’s strengths and forge a shared culture of innovation. Over time, working within such an interconnected digital space could help companies invent new products and services.

While decentralization has long stood at the center of Web 3.0’s ethos, the concept has primarily been applied to individual blockchains. Cross-chain technology promises to expand the decentralizing mission to the entire crypto ecosystem. If data and assets can pass seamlessly between blockchains, people won’t flock to the handful of predominant chains that overpower the market and dominate the news cycle. An interconnected network of smaller chains would give people greater choice — and prevent any particular chain from gaining excessive power and influence.

There’s a reason generations of economists have been extolling the virtues of the free market. Whatever the political and social ramifications of free-market policies, it’s hard to deny that free trade facilitates the transfer of goods and services around the world. In the crypto ecosystem, the abundance of distinct blockchains makes free trade impossible. If you have a particular asset, you can’t sell it to someone whose 

 operates on another chain. Blockchain interoperability eliminates this barrier to trade, giving digital goods greater freedom to flow from one corner of the cyberworld to another.

A technology or token that exists on a single blockchain can only grow as large as the chain that supports it. The limiting factors that apply to the chain will also apply to anything that’s built on top of it. With blockchain interoperability, technologies can suddenly grow beyond the borders of their original chains. Not only will these dynamics allow individual tools to reach more users, but they’ll also help the entire crypto ecosystem to grow with unprecedented speed. When people can buy, sell and interact across blockchains, it will become much easier to do bigger, more exciting things.

Challenges of Blockchain Interoperability

Blockchain technology is still in its infancy, and uniting distinct chains remains a significant challenge. Despite the recent proliferation of new technologies, experts still have plenty to figure out before blockchain interoperability is achieved. While these challenges are certainly imposing, talented individuals around the world are already working hard to find solutions.

Every blockchain has its own mechanisms in place for ensuring trust in its system. Some chains derive trust from thousands of miners, while others rely on just a few. When traders make an investments on a particular chain, they expect their investments to be backed by the levels of trust they’ve been promised. This poses a challenge for innovators who want assets to move seamlessly between blockchains.

Each blockchain has its own transaction capacity. When chains are interconnected, a sudden glut of transactions can overstretch one of the chains on the blockchain network. Like a traffic jam in the middle of a city, this single bottleneck can clog up the entire system.

Achieving blockchain interoperability will be an enormous undertaking. The challenges associated with the project are genuinely formidable, and the process is still in its earliest stages. Nevertheless, there are plenty of avenues for engineers and experts to pursue as they seek lasting solutions.

It’s still too early to tell exactly what the future will look like for blockchain technology. What we can predict with relative certainty is that the following strategies will be part of the equation.

There’s no reason blockchains must be self-contained protocols with their own unique standards. Engineers can explicitly design and produce chains that interact with different blockchain networks. By creating more of these 

 in the future, experts can develop a crypto ecosystem that’s better suited to interoperability.

 perfectly illustrate the potential benefits of open protocols. When blockchains are designed for interacting with other systems, it becomes easy for traders to engage in 

 (P2P) transactions. There’s no need for an intermediary, and smart contract technology helps ensure that nobody is cheated. An ecosystem that’s full of open protocols will promote interoperability and increase flexibility for users.

 allow different blockchains to combine and form intricate, all-inclusive networks. While the engineering is a bit more complicated than what open protocols require, the technology promises to revolutionize the crypto world. When blockchains plug into a multichain framework, they can share data and value. Users can easily transfer assets from one chain to another, and sellers suddenly have access to many more potential sellers when they’re trying to sell a digital product.

Multichain frameworks can create a standardized system in which all blockchains follow the same rules and procedures. In a way, the approach resembles the American highway system. Interstate highways connect every state in the nation, and every road has the same general norms and regulations. Speed limits might change when you cross state lines, but you know that you’ll still be expected to drive on the right side of the road. Just as American highways form a single, interconnected network of roads, blockchain networks can form a multichain framework with the shared norms necessary for interoperability.

Developers are already working assiduously to create the blockchain interoperability projects that Web 3.0 needs to flourish. Each project has its unique approach to the problem of cross-chain technology. Some are focused on interchain communication, while others see scalability as the principal objective. All are working to create a world of interconnected blockchains where users can connect and thrive.

As research and development continue, you can expect more projects to develop. For now, these are the projects we’d all do well to focus on. Sooner or later, some of them are likely to change the world.

Created by Ethereum co-founder Gavid Wood, the 

 blockchain is developing cross-chain technology for smart contract data. The Polkadot model uses multiple sidechains to send data from one principal chain to another. Each secondary chain has its own set of unique characteristics, and every transaction can spread through a relatively wide area. Despite this apparent exposure, the system remains secure throughout the transaction process. With its focus on scalability and governance, Polkadot stands to seamlessly connect public and private blockchains.

 aims to provide a standardized space where different blockchains can freely exchange data and assets. The goal is to develop a neutral protocol, then establish that protocol as a standard for multiple blockchains. Each chain will benefit from the standardization process by gaining access to the other chains on the blockchain network. Users, meanwhile, will gain access to a wider variety of digital assets. Aion’s developers hope to create a multi-tiered system that can accommodate various types of blockchain projects.

 endeavors to become a comprehensive provider of blockchain-based solutions. The group’s main focus, of course, is to enhance blockchain interoperability. Beyond that principal goal, Cosmos also wants to provide new software development tools that can help blockchains overcome limits to scalability. Cosmos blockchain’s model includes several zones of chains all connected to a central hub. This approach to cross-chain technology promises to enhance interchain transactions and provide unique opportunities for users.

, which markets itself as the first online solution for blockchain interoperability, intends to house all digital financial assets on a single unifying blockchain. While this objective might seem overly ambitious, it’s just the type of project that could make digital finance a revolutionary force. The project’s multi-party computing system could bring distinct currencies together and rebuild the financial ecosystem. 

Wanchain’s engineers are leveraging the power of cryptographic theories to produce exciting cross-chain technology. They’re also using a novel proprietary protocol to unite public and private blockchains. Together, these remarkable innovations could turn Wanchain into a powerful force for change in the world of finance.

 developers see interchain communication as the key to producing a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. Some of the project’s mechanisms for blockchain interoperability seem promising, and new innovations are inevitable. By continuing to improve the system’s foundational infrastructure, engineers could create a decentralized exchange. Such a system would help further the goals of the larger

 special nodes can take data from public 

 and transfer them to smart contracts, which connects the associated blockchains with the outside world. 

Not only is Chainlink useful as a standalone technology, but its developers are also working in conjunction with other projects like Polkadot and Wanchain. By providing technologies that other interoperability projects can assimilate, Chainlink promises to be a transformative force in the blockchain ecosystem.

 is a blockchain interoperability project with two main focuses. First of all, the project’s developers want the technology to facilitate communication between blockchains. Secondly, they want to make it easier for future innovators to create platforms that operate on multiple chains. With these goals in mind, engineers are building the network’s HY tokens, which can connect blockchain throughout the crypto ecosystem. These tokens would act as a shared currency that traders could use to make transactions across blockchains.

The Future of Blockchain Interoperability

Blockchain interoperability is sure to be a major focus in the years ahead. They’ve already exploded in popularity, and more people than ever before are trading in cryptocurrencies. 

 have become a global phenomenon, and people are beginning to appreciate the potential benefits of blockchain technology. Now that blockchains are such a hot topic, it’s time for experts to figure out how all these different chains can be brought within a single system.

Blockchain interoperability won’t happen overnight. The challenges, while not insurmountable, are substantial. Developers are just starting to tinker with cross-chain technology, and more innovation is necessary before massive blockchain networks will be possible. That being said, it’s encouraging to see that so many blockchain interoperability projects are already underway. People recognize the central problems, and intelligent developers are increasingly finding adequate solutions.

Innovation is never fast or simple. It requires years of sweat, tears and experimentation. When it comes to blockchain interoperability, there are many reasons to expect that all the hard work will eventually pay off.
