” roadmap, aiming to boost the blockchain's capacity to over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) through layer-2 scaling solutions while maintaining decentralization and security. The roadmap focuses on merging sharding and layer-2 protocols, with rollups processing most transactions off-chain to enhance efficiency. Buterin emphasized the importance of balancing the scalability trilemma—decentralization, scalability, and security—while ensuring that layer-2 solutions inherit Ethereum's core principles. He also mentioned recent advancements like EIP-4844 data blobs to improve data handling. The next major upgrade, Pectra, is set for early 2025, enhancing scalability and staking rewards.

 is a restaking protocol that’s native to the Solana blockchain. It’s engineered to augment the operational capabilities of on-chain DApps by securing more block space and prioritizing their transactions. 

The protocol’s innovative architecture is built around enhancing 

 (L1) security and optimizing network resource allocation through two main strategies: restaking and a shared validator network.

Within its structure, Solayer includes a restaking pool manager to handle the flow and conversion of assets, such as turning bbSOL into Solayer-specific tokens like sSOL. This conversion is critical because it allows the staked assets to participate actively in securing the network. 

The delegation manager plays a key role in managing the distribution of stakes across various validators and automated validator systems, ensuring that the stakes are optimally deployed. Additionally, the stake pool focuses on selecting validators and maximizing returns through opportunities in maximal extractable value (

), which enhances the economic security of the network. The shared validator network (SVN) supports cross-chain 

 and shares security among Solana-centric networks by efficiently distributing network resources based on stake contributions.

Utilizing bbSOL on Solayer contributes to the stability and security of the Solana network, and optimizes the potential returns from staking activities. By engaging with Solayer’s restaking and shared validator networks, users can enhance the operational capabilities of their DApps, secure additional block space and ensure prioritized transaction processing. This integration represents a significant advancement in the way that staking and network support can coalesce, benefiting individual stakeholders and the broader Solana ecosystem alike.

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.

Despite the recent surge in spot prices, there remains a significant gap between long- and short-dated implied volatility. As a result, market participants are focusing more on post-U.S.-election expectations rather than the recent bullish trends in spot prices. This shift has resulted in a rise in realized 7-day volatility, which now aligns with the implied volatility levels of 30-day tenor options. Additionally, bullish responses to spot price movements are evident in perpetual funding rates, which are now positive for nearly all tokens.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Futures Activities Final Sees Increase Since Early September, but Still Lags Behind Perps

In the past week, futures open interest has experienced only a modest increase. Although a substantial rally in spot prices has pushed BTC back to the upper end of its range, this rise hasn't been matched by a corresponding increase in futures open positions, which haven’t yet returned to their levels prior to the option expiration in late September.

In contrast to the futures market, perpetual swap open interest has risen in line with the bullish price action early this week, reaching its highest levels in the past month. As with futures markets, there was a significant spike in trading activity Monday and Tuesday as the spot price rally boosted volumes. This surge in bullish sentiment has led to increased participation in perpetual contracts. The market continues to be heavily dominated by BTC, with traders clearly favoring Bitcoin over Ethereum in their positioning.

BTC Options Volatility Front-Runs U.S. Election

In the past week, the front end of the implied volatility term structure has remained relatively stable, highlighting the significant disconnect between long- and short-dated options, particularly in light of the upcoming U.S. election. As a result, the derivatives market is responding more to post-election expectations than to the recent bullish movements in spot prices, which have finally caused realized volatility to align with implied volatility levels. 

Spot price activity has also seen an increase in open positions, mirroring trends in futures and perpetual contracts. However, this uptick in positioning hasn’t been accompanied by a spike in trade volumes, indicating more gradual growth.

Even after the passing of the internet-famous dog, Kabosu, the face of 

 (DOGE) (the top meme coin by market cap), the crypto community was quick to find her successor, Neiro (NEIRO). While a slurry of Neiro tokens were immediately created following the news of Kabosu's owner adopting a rescue dog named Neiro, Neiro CTO has emerged as the top leading Neiro crypto meme coin by 

, after it was listed on Binance in September 2024. It created a 76,000% return for investors who bought Neiro early. The rise of Neiro CTO also coincides with a larger upward trend across the cryptocurrency market during the month fondly known as "Uptober" by the crypto world.

Dogecoin’s mascot was a famous Shiba Inu named Kabosu, who passed away in May 2024. Kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato, the woman who had adopted Kabosu in 2008, then adopted another Shiba Inu named Neiro from a local animal shelter in August 2024. As a result of this adoption, the crypto world was energized to create multiple other 

The meme coins based on Neiro include four notable projects with strong community support, two of which are 

 tokens. Currently (as of Oct 16, 2024), the largest Neiro meme coin by market cap is the Ethereum-based Neiro CTO. The other major Neiro meme coin projects are Neiro on ETH, and Solana-based Neiro BroPump and Neiro.lol.

First Neiro on Ethereum, also commonly known as Neiro CTO (short for community takeover), is a decentralized, community-driven project on the Ethereum chain that launched on Jul 27, 2024. At that time, 2,123 traders purchased NEIRO within 24 hours. Those who held onto their coins over the next several months enjoyed a sizable return on their investments.

Neiro's first developer abandoned the project, and it was quickly picked up by a passionate community, enthusiastic about what Neiro could be. Today, the project is completely community-driven and recognized for its fair token distribution.

In the first week following its launch, the Neiro project was touted in a CoinDesk article. It applied for listings on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, and was then officially listed on CoinMarketCap on Aug 1, 2024. Neiro airdropped 4% of its token supply to Vitalik Buterin on Aug 4, 2024. A week later, Buterin posted a tweet about donating the tokens to an animal welfare fund, which aligned with the spirit of the project. This marks only the second meme coin that Buterin has interacted with after 

 (SHIB, the second-largest meme coin after DOGE, with a market cap of $10.8 billion), boosting NEIRO’s credibility and visibility.

Less than a month after the NEIRO token launched, it was listed on other exchanges, including MEXC, CoinEx Global and CoinW. In early September, Justin Sun’s support of the project led to additional listings on HTX and Poloniex. This was followed a week later by listings on Bybit, Binance and Gate.io’s Pilot Trading platform from Sep 13–16, 2024, which led to a jump in its market cap from a relatively modest $13.9 million to over $100 million within the same day on Sep 16, 2024. 

The rally continues for NEIRO today. During the first week of October 2024, NEIRO's price was up 108% over a 7-day period.

Typically, meme coins are traded frequently to generate short-term gains because of their price volatility and unpredictable nature. However, many enthusiasts of First Neiro on Ethereum are strong advocates of a long-term holding strategy. This is because of the general belief in Neiro CTO’s potential.

The Neiro CTO token is now available for you to buy on Bybit. With an active Bybit account, traders and investors can buy NEIRO as a USDT Perpetual contract (

). To open an account, you can register by clicking on the 

 button on the upper right-hand corner of Bybit’s homepage. After completing the easy steps, you can fund your account with USDT to start trading NEIRO and other coins.

As of Oct 16, 2024, NEIRO is trading at $0.0020. Price prediction experts anticipate that the bullish run on Neiro Ethereum will continue at least into the next year, but they’re mixed on their longer-term outlooks. According to Techopedia, the 

 $0.0031 in 2025 and may drop to $0.00224 in 2030. Meanwhile, CoinDCX’s 

 $0.004 and $0.006 in 2025, with a continued rise up to $0.035 in 2030.

The Four Neiro Crypto Tokens: What's the Difference?

While all of the Neiro meme coins were deployed on the same day (Jul 27, 2024), a look at Etherscan and Solscan reveals that their timing differed slightly. They also have other differences that extend to their token supply, price, market cap and other factors relevant to traders and investors.

However, just a month later, it dipped to a low of $24 million and has been relatively volatile since. 

Its current market cap is $94.4 million, and its current price is $0.094, 67.9% lower than its ATH of $0.29, recorded on Aug 7, 2024, and 305.1% higher than its ATL of $0.023 on Sep 3, 2024. The 24-hour trading volume for this Neiro Ethereum project's token is around $33.84 million.

Its current price is $0.0047, or 90.6% lower than its ATH of $0.05 on Jul 28, 2024, and 25.5% higher than its ATL of $0.00377 on Jul 31, 2024. The 24-hour trading volume of Neiro BroPump is currently $

 which also identifies itself as the “Sister to Kabosu,” aims to be the biggest meme coin on Solana, while honoring Neiro's legacy. It has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens and a total supply of 999.93 million, of which 2% have been burned and 98% fairly distributed. Like Neiro BroPump, it charges zero taxes. This project launched on Jul 27, 2024 at 9:05PM UTC on the Solana chain. Its current price is $0.0049, which is 93.8% lower than its ATH of $0.07868 on Jul 30, 2024, and 165.3% higher than its ATL of $0.001853 on Aug 30, 2024. It has a market cap of $4.9 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $16.09 million.

Neiro CTO may be the current leader of the Neiro coin pack, but as is true with all meme coins, its price is highly volatile, responding to market trends and hype. If you’re thinking about buying Neiro CTO, it's wise to stay cautious, conduct thorough 

 and invest no more than you can afford to lose.
