DUBAI, UAE, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, released a new weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in collaboration with Block Scholes, detailing the interplay between BTC and ETH’s rapid ascend in the past week, with ETH in the lead gaining 40% in spot prices. Bybit’s trading data recorded positive funding data across the board with positive futures curves and call-side volatility smiles at all tenors.
Key Highlights:
ETH’s Winning Streak: The spell of good news moved markets in the last few days, adding some $900M in ETH open interest in the rally which peaked between May 11 and 12. Crypto’s second favorite poster child overtook BTC for the second week in a row, and derivatives indicators suggest further upside as investors put more calls than puts on the table, readying ETH for another surge.

BTC Volatility: BTC’s return to $100K since early February coincided with the broader bullish ambience, with its short-term volatility dropped to a low 38%. A 5% skew towards OTM calls suggests continued risk-on sentiment, despite put options dominating with over $200M in volume compared to $140M for calls.
