Kaito: AI-Powered Web3 Information Platform

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

With fewer macroeconomic releases in early 2025, the crypto market has experienced lower volatility and stagnant spot prices. This has led to decreased implied volatility in derivatives, a steepening term structure and stable open interest. 

However, ETH options still anticipate continued price volatility. Historically, such sideways movements have seen altcoins underperform, reflected in disappointing funding rates in the derivatives market.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Without clear narratives or volatile spot price movements, open interest in perpetual swap contracts has remained flat over the past two weeks, with trade volumes also subdued in this low-volatility environment. Notably, SOL's perpetual positioning hasn’t significantly changed, even with its spot price 35% below its all-time high from late January.

On February 17, ETH’s spot price surged 6%, contrasting with the sideways movement of other crypto assets, but those gains were nearly reversed within 24 hours. This led to higher realized volatility in derivatives, and a flatter term structure as compared to BTC. Traders continue to assign a premium to short-dated ETH options, whose volatility has been higher than that of BTC for some time. Additionally, ETH option trade volumes have spiked, with calls reaching $0.25 billion on Feb 15, 2025.

Since reaching its all-time high in late January 2025, Solana's spot price has declined, leading to muted options markets with low activity in both calls and puts. Open interest is balanced between upside and downside, and is primarily focused on longer-dated positions, reflecting a lack of interest in short-term trades amidst disappointing spot market activity.

Bybit X Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report (Feb 19, 2025): Crypto Remains Silent as ETH Sees Volatility

Across Protocol (ACX) enables seamless, low-cost cross-chain transfers with intent-based transactions, enhancing DeFi accessibility and security.

Transferring crypto assets from one blockchain network to another is still cumbersome, costly and inconvenient for many users, particularly those without a deep technical understanding of the technology. Numerous 

 solutions have emerged to facilitate the process, but the costs and complexity of crypto transfers are still an issue limiting the adoption of cross-chain 

Across Protocol (ACX) is a blockchain project that aims to tackle this problem by offering highly efficient, low-cost and secure cross-chain transactions based on intent technology. 

Intents — transaction requests with prespecified conditions — have seen rapid adoption in the blockchain industry. Across Protocol has focused its service offerings on using this promising technology. Begun in 2021 as a solution to facilitate token transfers between 

 networks linked to the blockchain, the protocol has evolved through two major version upgrades into a modular cross-chain solution that DApp operators can easily integrate into their platforms.

The protocol’s latest iteration, Across V3, features a modular settlement layer that 

 (DeFi) platforms can leverage to offer their users seamless, intent-based cross-chain swaps and asset transfers, all without leaving the user app’s native interface.

 (ACX) is an intent-based, modular web3 solution that offers cross-chain crypto transfers and swaps.

 Using the protocol, DApp operators can integrate Across into their own solutions to let their end users conduct intent-based cross-chain operations.

Across is not a newcomer to the blockchain scene — the project was launched in late 2021 and might be considered one of the first, if not the first, decentralized protocols specializing in intent-based cross-chain transactions. The original protocol, now known as Across V1, was primarily limited to enabling direct asset transfers between Ethereum and Layer 2 chains connected to the world's largest 

In June 2022, the protocol underwent its first significant upgrade with the introduction of Across V2. This upgrade improved the overall efficiency of the platform and introduced new functions. The major difference between V1 and V2 was that the latter could facilitate further intent-based transactions after the transfer of assets from the origin chain to the destination network. In contrast, Across V1 was limited to simple asset bridging between chains.

However, the protocol's most significant upgrade arrived in the form of Across V3, announced in February 2024, which introduced asset swap functionality and architectural modularity, allowing Across to act as a pluggable solution for various DeFi applications. Across V3 also simplified the calculation of fees for cross-chain operations. With Across V3, DApps of various kinds — primarily in the DeFi niche — can easily integrate intent-based cross-chain asset transfers, swaps and liquidity solutions into their own platforms. The protocol provides a set of APIs for developers for such integration.

The best part is that users of these DApps don't need to leave the platforms' native interfaces to execute the cross-chain operations. All of the activities supported by Across Protocol are carried out via the client's DApp interface. This is in stark contrast to the typical cross-chain experience for many web3 users, as they need to use multiple interfaces — e.g., one provided by an asset bridging solution and another at the destination app they use — to carry out their desired crypto operations.

Transactions executed by the protocol are based on user intents. Intents are conditional requests from users to perform some action, e.g., a token swap from ETH to USDT, if specific requirements are met, e.g., the swap rate is no lower than a certain value of ETH. In reality, many intents are executable transactions in the form of 

. Intent-based transactions have recently become popular in the crypto industry, due to benefits such as the limit on swap rates, a no-slippage fee model and other conditions that perfectly fit users' intended outcomes.

User intents are passed to Across's decentralized network or relayers, also known as solvers or fillers, which look for the best on-chain sources to satisfy the requests. Relayers compete with each other to offer the best solution to the user's stated outcome. The relayer that provides the best outcome earns the right to execute the transaction. This competitive relayer landscape allows end users to access the best possible rates for their cross-chain transfers and swaps.

Across Protocol locks user funds allocated for a transaction in an escrow pool instead of immediately transferring them to the winning relayer's custody, providing enhanced security to users. Relayers are responsible for providing the necessary funds to carry out the transaction on their own without having access to the user funds in escrow. When a relayer successfully executes an intent, they’re repaid from the liquidity pool holding the escrowed assets. To optimize 

, repayments to relayers are bundled and transferred in batches.

At the architectural level, Across is a modular system with three main layers — intent, relayer and settlement.

The intent layer is the component that handles user intents and their deposits at the origin chain. Then, the relayer hosts the network of relayer nodes and handles functions related to their activity — provision of capital to execute user intents, competitive bidding and the execution of intents.

The settlement layer is where the finalization of the transaction flow occurs, with relayers repaid in bundles and transactions settled on the destination chain. Verification of transactions uses an optimistic oracle that’s provided by the 

, a protocol specializing in blockchain oracle services.

Across Bridge is a cross-chain token bridge designed for efficient, low-cost and secure asset transfers. It provides an easy-to-use interface for users to move tokens seamlessly between different decentralized networks. To start using the bridge, you’ll need to connect a supported wallet. As of early February 2025, the bridge supports four popular wallet types — 

, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom and the group of wallets compatible with the WalletConnect framework. Currently supported networks for transfers include the Ethereum mainnet, 

 (POL) and zkSync Era. Transfers from the origin chain to the destination chain typically take only a few seconds to confirm.

Across+ is a bridge abstraction solution that utilizes cross-chain hooks to bundle multiple actions into one user transaction. In plain terms, it simply means that you can bridge assets to a protocol or DApp on the destination chain and carry out further actions (such as contributing liquidity) with a single transaction. For end users, this helps abstract the fact that the assets used for a crypto operation have been initially moved in from a different network. The cross-chain hooks let end-users carry out these transactions with a single instruction/signature, although under the hood, multiple actions are performed at the smart contract level.

Across+ boasts an extensive cross-chain reach. It currently supports 17 networks, including Ethereum and a wide range of Ethereum-linked Layer 2 chains.

Earlier, we noted that Across Protocol moved to a modular design with the launch of its V3 in early 2024. This shift to modularity has created opportunities for DApps and external protocols to use the platform’s settlement layer as a pluggable standalone product to provide efficient settlement for intent-based cross-chain transactions. Using Across Settlement, DApps can extend their functionality into intent-based liquidity operations, swaps and transfers. Across Settlement supports the same 17 decentralized networks that can be utilized with Across+.

In November 2022, Across Protocol launched its native token, ACX. The token is primarily used for 

, and holders can vote on various proposals related to the protocol's rules, future direction, treasury spending and native token emission. ACX holders exercise their governance function through membership in the Across DAO.

Holders of the token represent one component of the protocol’s governance model. The other two key parties involved are the Across Council and Committees, made up of specific subject matter experts. While all ACX token holders are entitled to vote on proposals, only those who hold at least 50,000 ACX (around $16,000) can submit proposals considered for voting.

ACX is a supply-capped asset, with a total and maximum supply of 1 billion. The token’s allocation shares are as follows:

 as a Perpetual contract with USDT. Under the terms of the contract, you can trade ACX with up to 50x leverage. The contract is available to traders in Bybit’s derivatives products, such as 

As of Feb 20, 2025, the ACX token is trading at $0.3257, which is 80.7% lower than its ATH of $1.69 on Dec 6, 2024, and 846.3% higher than its ATL of $0.03441 on Jun 1, 2023.

Long-term price forecasts for ACX are mostly bullish.DigitalCoinPrice 

 an average rate of $1.17 in 2027 and $1.78 in 2030, whileCoinCodex 

 the token to trade at around $0.34 in 2027 and rise to $1.12 in 2030.

The inefficient and often costly process of moving assets from one chain to another continues to hamper the adoption of DApps among crypto users. By enabling cross-chain intent-based functionality, Across Protocol seeks to provide DApps and their end users with a truly single-chain experience, where crypto operations across different networks can be handled from the same user interface.

Moreover, some of the protocol's key features — intent-based transaction execution, the competitive nature of the relayers' work and the batching of relayer repayments — contribute to lowering the costs of transfers and other crypto operations. Furthermore, the escrow system that the protocol employs protects users from malicious relayers, contributing to a stronger security profile for its platform. 

Minimal costs and tight security while carrying out your cross-chain crypto operations from a single DApp interface — these features aren't easy to come by all in one solution!

Non-fungible tokens have taken the digital world by storm. For example, Nyan Cat — an animated flying cat with a Pop-Tarts body leaving a rainbow trail — sold for $580K, while Mike Winkelmann’s NFT-based artwork “Everydays: the First 5000 Days” auctioned for a whopping $69 million. Think you know much about NFT? You may be just scratching the surface.

Owning an NFT is without a doubt beneficial for those who treasure authenticity and distinctiveness. But did you know that plenty of gaming developers are hitting the scene with NFT play-to-earn games that give you a chance to turn your gaming skills into crypto? In fact, there’s even a gaming company that recently 

Still, don’t just jump into something like NFT without understanding how it works. If you’re intrigued by the concept of having your assets grow by start playing these games and want to learn more about NFTs in general, here’s an overview of the current state of NFT gaming.

When something is fungible, it can be freely interchanged with an item of the same type. For example, a dollar is a fungible asset. If you and a friend trade a dollar, then no value is lost; it’s an equal exchange. When you pay for your coffee in the morning, you don’t care if you give the cashier the dollar in your wallet or the dollar in your pocket. The individual bill in question makes no difference. Dollars and other fungible goods are completely interchangeable with goods of the same type.

An example of a non-fungible item would be the Mona Lisa. Sure, someone could paint an exact copy of it, but it wouldn’t be interchangeable with the real Mona Lisa. Nobody is going to spend millions on an exact replica. The Mona Lisa is non-fungible because it’s one-of-a-kind, and its unique nature affects its value. Someone could still trade the Mona Lisa for money or another piece of art, but unlike currency or other fungible assets, it’s not interchangeable for anything else. There is no other Mona Lisa that is interchangeable with the original, and there is no NFT that is completely interchangeable with another NFT.

) is a token that exists on the blockchain and cannot be directly interchanged with another asset. NFTs can represent original art, music, in-game assets or practically anything else. They differ from cryptocurrencies and other digital assets in that they are one-of-a-kind. When you purchase or earn an NFT, you’re receiving the original asset with proof of ownership. When you sell or exchange the NFT, you can cleanly and effectively transfer ownership to the buyer.

Because NFTs are one-of-a-kind assets, they tend to attract collectors. NFT enthusiasts typically buy and sell NFTs on many dedicated digital marketplaces and platforms. Some websites exist as online marketplaces to buy and sell NFTs, and many NFT games allow players to accumulate NFTs by a play-to-earn system. While some enthusiasts simply buy NFTs for their connection to the asset that they represent, many people purchase NFTs or participate in play-to-earn games to make a profit.

As with any other asset, sellers make a profit by purchasing NFTs at a low price and selling them at a higher price. However, nobody can predict the trajectory of any given NFT, so it’s not as if buying an NFT is a surefire way to make money. When you buy and sell NFTs, you must pay very close attention to current market conditions so that you don’t make a suboptimal trade and lose money.

In the context of NFTs, blockchain technology allows the public to track their ownership with great accuracy. Everyone can see who has bought and sold the NFT, who currently owns it, when each transaction took place and how much money was spent in each transaction. 

The public ledger system also allows owners to prove that they own a genuine NFT. When a person sells their NFT, the blockchain confirms the buyer’s ownership. Since other users can see every transaction back to the very first sale, buyers can be confident that they’re purchasing a genuine product. Consequently, blockchain technology greatly minimizes the risk of buying a counterfeit NFT.

NFT online games are developed using smart contracts to predetermine the rules stored on the blockchain as their core mechanics. NFT players typically collect, trade and interact with NFTs, and have a sense of each NFT’s perceived market price, which fluctuates from day to day. 

Unlike a traditional video game, NFT games create an outlet for players to earn actual virtual assets. In the grand scheme of things, these games reward players with tokens and NFTs as they fulfill tasks according to each game’s rules. In any case, these rewards are typically 

that are actually tradable on crypto exchanges. But what really stands out about NFT games is that players have the chance to collect unique NFTs which represent the collectible items.

Typically, play-to-earn games give players NFTs or cryptocurrencies whenever they complete in-game quests. The longer a user plays, the more earnings a player can profit. Some games allow players to win or lose NFTs as a part of their gameplay mechanics. Play-to-earn games encompass any genre of gameplay, ranging from action-adventure, strategy game and multiplayer online battle arena to sandbox and more.

For example, Axie Infinity shares a similar concept to the Pokémon game, in which players battle to collect, raise, breed, trade and battle creatures called Axie and earn ERC20 Smooth Love Potion (SLP) tokens. At the same time, players can earn in-game NFTs that represent collectible items that vary in value based on utility and rarity.

Another example, CryptoBlades (SKILL) let users 

 for the gameplay or to be traded in the marketplace. At the same time, players can earn SKILL tokens by defeating enemies and double the gains by staking the tokens for annual percentage yields (APYs). Once the liquidity is locked the earned tokens will translate into an instant value. In turn, these games incentivize players to hold onto these cryptos to further increase the utility of the tokens.

 is referred to as one of the best NFT games. It dabbles the concept of Pokémon where players breed and trade NFT digital pets called “Axies” in the world of Lunacia. Also, each monster is a non-fungible token. These monsters can be bought and sold on the developer’s marketplace, and the game uses the Etherum-based AXS and SLP tokens. Players can exchange these currencies to farm, buy land, breed their Axies, and more.

While Axie Infinity is arguably the most popular NFT game worldwide, it has especially taken off in the Philippines because many people can earn more with this game than they could at a regular job. Some users 

 by strategically buying and selling Axie NFTs, SLP and AXS. So if you know what you’re doing, Axie Infinity is a great way to have a blast while supplementing your income.

Players who love collectible card games will feel right at home when playing “

.” The cards in Gods Unchained have a close resemblance to the Ethereum-based game — Magic The Gathering or Hearthstone. Gamers earn in-game items through the PVP gameplay battling with players. With every wins, a player who collected Flux can craft unique digital collectibles and NFT cards which translate into an instant value.

As the first blockchain eSports game, Gods Unchained has the potential to attract many viewers, fans, and players with high-profile tournaments and matches. Incorporating a play-to-earn model, Gods Unchained rewards loyal players for all of the hours that they put into this exciting experience.

” is one of the other NFT games that offer a customizable

Due to its customizable nature and intricate development tools, players and developers can create and experience a wide range of high-quality game modes that offer players more freedom and better graphics than similar titles. If you enjoy “Roblox” or “Minecraft,” then you’ll have an even greater time earning valuable NFTs while exploring the endless possibilities that The Sandbox has to offer.

 for its fantasy football gameplay which allows users to collect digital collectibles that are tradeable with other online soccer players. In Sorare, you earn rewards based on the goals your score, the overall winning rate and the quests you’ve completed. Each of the earned digital cards is represented by a unique token on the Ethereum blockchain. Players can buy, sell, or trade cards from other players where the transactions are all recorded on the blockchain. According to TechCrunch, Sorare is one of the top NFT games that has over 600,000 registered users and counting.

Available for both Android and iOS, “Guild of Guardians” is shaping up to be a great game for players who enjoy “Skyrim” and other fantasy role-playing game (RPG) titles. Another play-to-earn game, Guild of Guardians will be free to download, and its developers assert that success in the game will center on skill rather than money.

This NFT game plans to offer a strong multiplayer element, and players will need to join and participate in guilds with other players to earn the best NFT and proprietary crypto rewards. Guild of Guardians raised 

 after selling its first series of collectible NFTs in June, so it’s clear that gamers are excited. Currently, the developers expect to release a beta version of Guild of Guardians in the fourth quarter of 2022.

“Gold Fever” puts players in a dark, foreboding jungle as they struggle to make their way amid a hectic gold rush. While adventurers work solo or form small teams to find gold within the unforgiving rainforest, capitalist players purchase mining claims and rent capital to adventurers and other players.

The merchants make their fortunes by crafting items and providing services for a fee, and the tribesmen ward off unscrupulous intruders to protect their wealth. Depending on how you play Gold Fever, there are several 

 the Gold Fever NGL crypto token and gain ownership of valuable NFTs. Gold Fever is one of the most anticipated crypto games set to enter the gaming world with early access in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Many NFTs are expensive, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to sell an NFT for a higher price down the road. The value of an NFT can fluctuate a lot within minutes, so you can easily lose money or miss a golden opportunity by buying or selling at the wrong moment. Thus, to be successful with NFTs, you have to dedicate some time to research, and you need to spend your money strategically.

If you tend to be impatient or impulsive, then you could easily waste your money on the wrong NFT. However, no matter how much research you do, there’s a degree of luck that comes with investing in NFTs. Even the most experienced traders lose money on certain NFTs. Furthermore, some NFT games require some sort of buy-in, so if you’re not successful, you might never recoup those upfront costs.

Do you remember Beanie Babies? If you don’t, then you’re either young enough or lucky enough not to have been swept up in the hype. Beanie Babies are small stuffed animals that are filled with plastic beads and were super popular in the 1990s. Enthusiasts were buying as many Beanie Babies as possible with the idea that at least some of their collection would appreciate in value.

However, although some Beanie Babies did take off, most remained worthless. Like Beanie Babies, NFTs are collectibles. While some may be worth more than others right now, there’s no telling what the future may hold.

An NFT may be rare or desirable at one point in time, but that doesn’t mean that it will grow in value or even maintain its value. Buyers often think that they’ve just bought the next big thing, and they have a ton of research and analysis to back up their predictions. However, just as with any collectible, you can’t predict the value of NFTs with complete certainty.

Sometimes, people may simply stop caring about a new NFT. Maybe something bigger or better or shinier comes along, or the artist whom the NFT is associated with might lose popularity. As a result, any NFT’s value can sharply decline within hours. Therefore, you shouldn’t put your life savings into NFTs. While you can make a lot of money, you also stand to lose it all within moments.

It’s good to be cautiously optimistic, and you surely can see the value of your in-game assets expand when trading NFTs. Nonetheless, only spend as much as you’re willing to lose. You don’t want to miss your car payment or face foreclosure because you bet all of your money on an unprofitable NFT.

Sadly, when there’s a new market, scammers are sure to pop up in no time. From the very start of NFTs, scammers have been pulling several tricks to mislead people into spending their money on unprofitable or nonexistent tokens. 

For example, many scammers artificially inflate the price of an NFT by selling it to other scammers in their ring — or buying it from themselves under an alias to give the illusion of high demand. When an unwitting buyer comes along and purchases the NFT, they’ll find it almost impossible to sell because the original series of fake buyers weren’t legitimately interested in the coin in the first place.

You should also be wary of phony marketplaces, fake NFT games and NFT-related junk emails. Some scammers advertise fake NFT games and marketplaces just to collect your money, bank information and other private data. Often, these fly-by-night operations disappear or stop working once they’ve duped enough users out of their hard-earned money. Because of these risks, you need DYOR about the development team and the project before jumping into the new trend. And as always, all the games are different from one another. You should never click links on NFT-related emails without verifying the sender’s identity.

Different NFTs have varying levels of liquidity. Unlike cash or stock, an NFT can be challenging to trade at certain times. In order for you to sell an NFT, you must first find a buyer. When an NFT is at the peak of its popularity this is easy, but new or forgotten NFTs are often much harder to sell. To complicate matters further, some marketplaces may be incompatible with certain NFTs. Thus, you might have to jump through hoops or wait a long time to exchange your NFTs for more liquid assets, like money or cryptocurrencies.

NFT games are giving cryptocurrency enthusiasts, gamers and NFT fans everywhere a more exciting way than ever before to earn rewards like NFTs and tokens via a virtual world. If you play games anyway, then why not give a few NFT games a try? Many of these NFT games are free to play and may have a low upfront cost, so there’s very little to lose. NFT games incorporate a variety of fun and exciting gameplay mechanics, and many people remain hooked on NFT games for the enjoyable gameplay alone.

Of course, when playing NFT games or even the best crypto games, always remember to play responsibly. NFT games can be a fun way to gain a new income stream, but don’t assume that the money is always going to flow. If you think that you have the time, patience and skills to succeed, then go ahead and explore some of the current and upcoming NFT games discussed in this article. These popular games have a ton of hype for a reason, so it’s a good idea to get involved as early as you can. That way, you’ll have a better opportunity to win big.
