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.

Getaverse is a multi-chain credit system developed to provide a digital authentication platform for web3 and metaverse projects via the use of decentralized identities (DIDs).

In an increasingly online world, the invasion of privacy through data breaches, unwarranted surveillance and misuse of personal information has become a formidable threat to humanity. One of the leading causes of data insecurity is its centralized ownership by monopolies, despite numerous data privacy laws around the globe.

It's time for people to regain ownership and control over their data. 

 makes this possible through decentralized identities (DIDs), which are digital identifiers that let users leverage 

 to own, manage and control their online data. DIDs improve data security by making it tamperproof, anonymous and transparent through a distributed, public ledger.

Getaverse is taking the concept of DIDs a notch higher through a multi-chain credit system that dramatically improves interoperability between digital identities and applications in the 

 is a multi-chain credit system developed to provide a digital authentication platform for web3 and 

 via the use of decentralized identities (DIDs).

Its vision is toestablish an ecological metaverse service platform built upon the web3 protocol, focusing on digital authentication systems. The platform aims to empower digital users and developers with better control and management of the various components of their digital identities by providing a way to store, authenticate and preserve them securely.

Getaverse DID utilizes a blockchain credit system, a key component needed for the successful implementation of a fully decentralized identity ecosystem.

In the Getaverse system, each individual address stores 

 (SBT), which are nontransferable, verifiable digital identity tokens that create a value system for personal data representing the identity of users, credentials and reputation. 

The Getaverse DID credit system then rates users and assigns credit scores, based on various data collected from social accounts and SBT information.

Each user is assigned an exclusive DID identity after signing up. The new identity enables every user to create their own credit system and become active members of the Getaverse community by taking part in building and managing the digital authentication system.

, but is now available on many more chains, such as 

As an open data network and credit protocol, Getaverse is accessible to all interested developers, and encourages joint contributions to provide custom features or enhance users’ product experience.

Getaverse features five incentivized roles that ensure the smooth running and security maintenance of the entire network.

Getaverse deploys Getaverse DID, Credit Score and Getaverse Node as its core technologies to build this next-generation digital identity infrastructure for web3 and the metaverse.

The Getaverse DID platform enables users to create a verifiable DID identity (Getaverse ID) that they can use to build, manage and improve a credit-based digital profile. DID implements soulbound tokens (SBTs) and event proofs (in the form of Getaverse 

) to capture data from both on-chain and off-chain user activity.

This information creates an exclusive identifier of each user through their activities, including asset ownership and frequency of participation in Getaverse and its integrated on-chain and off-chain platforms.

Getaverse has made significant improvements to the DID platform to enhance the experience for individual users and projects. Some of these changes include the ability to add and change a profile avatar, an optimized credit score button, and the ability to generate and download credit scores in poster format. 

The credit score system records Getaverse credit points for every user with a Getaverse ID. The higher the credit score, the higher the trustworthiness of the user. Some ways to score credit points include performing tasks assigned by Getaverse, and interacting with web3 or metaverse platforms with your Getaverse ID.

Users with a good score are eligible for great deals, such as low mortgage lending rates, access to high-yield farming protocols and priority status in web3 project giveaways. 

A Getaverse Node is the single unit of the decentralized network of computers needed to run the network by validating transactions and carrying out maintenance tasks. Users can purchase nodes to run Trusted Verifier Nodes.

Trusted Verifier Node operators earn GETA tokens for performing three functions, operating the nodes, voting on governance in the Getaverse DAO, and other associated community rewards.

 in January 2023 in partnership with KuCoin Labs to extend the influence and decentralization of the network. The Node Guardian Program is open to existing and new Node operators and assigns a role to each participant in the incentivized testnet.

The primary role of each Node Guardian is to help more people understand Getaverse nodes and promote Getaverse awareness to web3 and metaverse communities. Getaverse currently consists of 50,000 active Getaverse nodes.

GETA is the native token that represents the tokenomics of Getaverse. Getaverse’s tokenomics mechanism is designed to encourage node operators to promote the network’s accessibility and sustainability.

A total supply of 5 billion pre-mined GETA tokens will be distributed according to the production mechanism of the Trusted Verifier Node. GETA is deployed on BNB Chain (Formerly Binance Smart Chain) as a BEP-20 token. 

 in early July 2023, with a token allocation of 1.5% (75,000,000). Its total allocations as are follows:

As of Aug 1, 2023, the price of the GETA token is $0.024, which is over 30% higher than its all-time low (ATL) of $0.018 and 0.02% lower than its all-time-high (ATH) of $0.023, both of which occurred in the previous week.

The latest GETA price prediction data seem bullish. 

, GETA’s price could hit $0.068 by 2025 and swing up to around $0.43 by 2030. CoinArbitrageBot makes 

, estimating GETA will hit $0.098 by the end of 2025, followed by a climb up to $0.136 in 2028.

While these forecasts do seem optimistic, they aren't a guarantee of GETA’s future prices. We recommend you do your own research before investing in GETA tokens or any other 

Getaverse believes DID identity is the missing link to propel web3 and the metaverse to the next phase of building a fully decentralized society. Its DID credit system empowers users with an incentivized way to own, control and manage their data while enabling developers to create better, user-centric applications. Furthermore, the successful implementation of the DID system will unhook the current reliance of web3 implementation on Web 2.0 infrastructure, which limits its ability to scale and innovate. 

In turn, a distributed digital identity management ecosystem will help the futuristic decentralized society grow in a healthy, more efficient and transparent manner than that which exists today.
