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.

Injective is a sector-specific interoperable Layer 1 blockchain protocol built on Cosmos that is optimized for decentralized finance applications.

 (DeFi) that offers cross-chain trading, MEV resistance, and community-driven governance. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the Injective Protocol, its INJ token, and the vibrant ecosystem that supports innovation and growth in the DeFi space. Strap in, and get ready to discover the future of 

Injective Protocol (INJ) is a Layer-1 blockchain focusing on DeFi, offering cross-chain trading and MEV-resistant transactions. Staking, governance, and deflationary mechanisms involve INJ tokens. Innovations include a DEX for derivatives trading, zero gas fees, and interoperable solutions. Founders Eric Chen and Albert Chon lead its growth, supported by investors like Pantera. INJ's deflationary model features auctions to reduce token supply, enhancing long-term value.

INJ Protocol is a Layer-1 injective blockchain designed to facilitate decentralized finance, providing cross-chain trading, MEV resistance, and-driven governance. It has introduced several noteworthy innovations in decentralized finance (DeFi), including a Layer-1 

, a zero gas fee model for transactions, a hybrid computing architecture, and the INJ token ecosystem for governance, staking, and participating in the platform’s ecosystem.

Eric Chen and Albert Chon founded the protocol in 2018 and have worked actively with the injective community to propel the project’s development and expansion. Since its inception, the INJ Protocol has made considerable progress, which has positively impacted the injective price. It has undergone a rebranding, signifying a major shift in its mission, product offerings, and branding, and is now a leader in the ever-changing blockchain landscape.

Eric Chen and Albert Chon launched the Injective Protocol in 2018, playing pivotal roles in constructing its robust infrastructure and steering its growth. Eric Chen has an extensive professional background, including experience as a seed stage tech investor, co-founding an e-commerce company, and working in enterprise IT. His expertise has been crucial in helping INJ Protocol achieve instant transaction finality and a seamless user experience, while also addressing the protocol fee value capture.

Since its inception, INJ Protocol has achieved several major milestones, including rebranding, mainnet launch, and Testnet launch, all while sustaining lightning fast speeds and providing a seamless user experience. Injective has also been supported by major crypto investors such as Binance, Pantera, and Jump Crypto, reinforcing its strong position in the decentralized finance ecosystem.

With a focus on interoperability, INJ Protocol offers the following features:

The IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol allows independent blockchains to exchange assets directly. By utilizing the IBC protocol, Injective enables cross-chain interaction and interoperability, ensuring instant transaction finality and enhanced user experience. Injective’s commitment to interoperability and innovative technology has placed it at the forefront of the DeFi revolution.

The multi-purpose INJ token plays a vital role within the INJ ecosystem, serving functions like staking, governance, and deflationary mechanisms. It enables users to engage with the protocol, contribute to its security, and participate in the platform’s deflationary processes.

In the Injective Protocol, staking entails securing assets to participate in transaction validation, thereby granting users an opportunity to earn passive income through INJ rewards. These rewards are distributed continuously every block and can be claimed on the Wallet page. Unbonding tokens will stop the receipt of rewards. The INJ token serves as collateral for trading and creating financial products on the INJ Protocol, providing an additional layer of security to the network.

Validators and delegators of the INJ Protocol can reap the rewards of staking, partake in governance, ensure the security of the network, and experience potential reputation and growth. The minimum amount of INJ token required to initiate staking varies depending on the platform or protocol in use. We recommend confirming the specific staking requirements on the platform or protocol of interest.

 (DAO) is code-governed rather than leader-driven, which empowers users to influence the organization’s development and decision-making processes via 

. In the context of Injective Protocol, the DAO framework enables users to participate in the governance of the protocol and to have a say in important decisions such as protocol upgrades and market listings.

INJ token holders can partake in the Injective DAO by casting votes on submissions and suggesting modifications to the governance of Injective’s ecosystem. They can actively contribute to network upkeep and security by staking their INJ tokens and becoming validators or delegators. Moreover, token holders can receive rewards by staking their INJ tokens in insurance pools.

Injective executes a distinct deflationary mechanism, which includes the weekly auction of 60% of protocol fees and the incineration of the winning bid’s INJ tokens. This mechanism helps to remove excess tokens from circulation and can lead to an increased injective price per token. The deflationary nature of INJ is upheld through token burns, which assist in decreasing the total circulating supply of INJ tokens over time, making the process injective uniquely.

The intent of the INJ burn auction is to maintain the deflationary nature of INJ. INJ burn auctions are distinct in that 60% of all fees generated and collected from 

 are auctioned off on a weekly basis through a buy back and burn mechanism. This innovative approach to tokenomics sets Injective apart from other projects and contributes to its long-term value proposition.

The INJ ecosystem promotes innovation and growth in the DeFi space by supporting cross-chain trading, lending protocols, and developer tools. It is a robust platform for developers to craft inventive DeFi solutions and for users to access various financial services, ultimately driving the growth and success of Injective as a whole.

Cross-Chain Trading and Financial Markets

Injective facilitates cross-chain trading and provides access to a range of financial markets, including derivatives and synthetic assets. The advantages of cross-chain trading in Injective Protocol include increased liquidity, access to a wide range of assets, and the capacity to trade across multiple blockchains. Moreover, INJ Protocol offers rapid and cost-effective transfers through the Injective Bridge, providing smooth cross-chain interoperability.

Cross-chain trading within the scope of the INJ Protocol refers to the capability of trading assets across multiple blockchain networks. The INJ Protocol utilizes a specialized blockchain layer known as the Peg Zone to link distinct blockchains and enable smooth cross-chain trading. This allows users to trade assets from different blockchains without the need for third-party intermediaries or centralized exchanges.

The Injective ecosystem offers lending protocols and yield generation opportunities, drawing in users and liquidity providers. The key lending protocol within the Injective ecosystem is iLend, the inaugural native money market protocol designed to provide a seamless borrowing and lending experience. Injective bolsters yield generation in the DeFi space by providing support for a variety of trading and yield generation activities across various assets.

Liquidity providers in Injective’s lending market can leverage the Open Liquidity Program to enhance the trading experience, bolster market depth, and gain on-chain rewards. They are an integral part of the Injective ecosystem’s growth and success. However, users should be aware of potential risks when utilizing Injective’s lending protocols, including:

Developers can utilize Injective’s resources and tools to construct innovative DeFi applications, thereby fostering the ecosystem’s growth. Injective offers a selection of developer tools and resources, such as:

Injective’s developer resources, one of injective’s key elements, have had a positive effect its growth, providing developers with educational resources, training programs, and technical support. This has enabled developers to further their skills, resulting in the development of innovative projects and the evolution of the protocol.

Furthermore, developers have been able to contribute to the growth of Injective by constructing on the protocol, directing its future trajectory, and improving its market access and liquidity.

Injective’s technological framework, comprised of a consensus mechanism, smart contracts, and a cross-chain bridge, provides a sturdy base for the protocol’s functionality and expansion. These components work together to create a seamless and secure user experience within the Injective ecosystem, supported by and built on injective itself’s robust infrastructure.

Injective employs a Tendermint-based consensus mechanism to guarantee network security and expedite transaction processing. Tendermint-based consensus mechanism stands out due to its utilization of a Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, selecting a random node from a validator set for each period to vote on the next block. Additionally, it ensures that the same transactions are consistently recorded on each machine in the same order, resulting in a highly secure and balanced consensus.

The Tendermint-based consensus mechanism contributes to protocol security and network security by:

Its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism further enhances security by randomly selecting a node from a validator set for each period. This advanced consensus mechanism allows Injective to provide instant transaction finality and a reliable and secure experience for users.

The protocol accommodates CosmWasm smart contracts, thereby enabling cross-chain functionalities and automated execution. CosmWasm is a secure smart contracting platform designed for the Cosmos ecosystem, allowing developers to write smart contracts in Rust and integrate them with any blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. The platform emphasizes security, performance, and interoperability, and utilizes WebAssembly (Wasm) to execute the smart contracts.
