Crypto Derivatives


Recommended Posts

I'm presuming this is just out today as it's based on a report published on Monday.  

"The FCA considers these products are ill-suited to retail consumers who cannot reliably assess the value and risks of derivatives or ETNs that reference certain cryptoassets (crypto-derivatives). This is due to:

  • inherent nature of the underlying assets, which have no reliable basis for valuation
  • the prevalence of market abuse and financial crime in the secondary market for cryptoassets (eg cyber theft)
  • extreme volatility in cryptoasset price movements, and
  • inadequate understanding by retail consumers of cryptoassets and the lack of a clear investment need for investment products referencing them"

Lots of "rumors" 

Saw this about CFDs in Aussie-land

"Regardless of whether customers of Australian brokers are from overseas, soon the regulator in the Land Down Under is expected to change the rules of the game. With its newly minted product intervention powers, ASIC is expected to ban products that it deems toxic in the coming weeks.

To date, there is no specific information as to what those might be; however, the vast majority of the market is expecting a complete ban of binary options and some limitations to CFDs. As previously emphasized by Finance Magnates, one senior executive in the industry from a major brokerage shared privately that he is hearing about a complete ban on CFDs for retail investors."

ASIC very much in the footsteps of ESMA.

"Hi Peter, my understanding is that distribution and design relate to companies adequately discerning between different target markets in relation to their products. They have to take proactive measures to remain compliant in different jurisdictions, determine suitable investors, etc. Leverage cuts and product bans are already in ASIC’s hands now."

This is quite typical behaviour in the financial services industry. 

Senior execs and inside traders cause the system to collapse, prompting a government bailout.

Regulatory authorities respond by slapping stifling prohibitions and restrictions on normal people (who didn't cause the crisis in the first place) and let the top execs (who were entirely responsible for the collapse of the system) retire with multi-million pound pensions intact.

    • In a strategic move to further solidify its position in the global cryptocurrency market, Bitget, a leading CEX, has made a significant move by appointing Min Lin as its new Chief Business Officer. With a history of leadership at Binance and Goldman Sachs, Lin brings over a decade of expertise to Bitget's ambitious expansion in Latin America. His unique blend of traditional finance and blockchain experience positions him to navigate the complex market dynamics in the region.  Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, believes Lin’s expertise is crucial for their strategic vision. “Min’s track record in scaling cryptocurrency businesses aligns seamlessly with our growth goals,” says Chen. In his new role, Lin emphasizes his commitment to innovation and user-focused products. He aims to promote wider acceptance of blockchain technology while tailoring solutions to meet the unique needs of Latin American users. This move underscores Bitget’s commitment to emerging markets. With a 98% increase in active users in Latin America in 2024, the potential for growth is evident. The question remains: how will this move influence the competitive landscape in Latin America?
    • Exchange tokens are a good alternative investment. Unlike regular coins, they provide access to exclusive privileges, including: -Deduction of trading fees, whether in spot or futures trading -Participation in airdrop campaigns, such as Launchpool, Launchpad, PoolX, and others The benefits of holding an exchange token cannot be overstated, yet many users are still unaware of these advantages.  I currently hold some MX, BGB, BNB, and KCS in my portfolio, though I initially knew little about the privileges associated with them. After joining this Bitget online community, I was able to connect with other BGB holders, interact with them, and discover a lot more. The minimum requirement is 100 BGB to gain access to the community, and there's an ongoing campaign with a range of merchandise giveaways. We could take advantage of this campaign as we’re now in Moonvember if you’re holding more than the minimum required amount. I’m not a financial advisor, so always DYOR.
    • Natural Gas Elliott Wave Analysis The late October recovery continues as the commodity has stayed within a sideways price structure since April 2023. Meanwhile, in the meantime, it appears prices will attempt to break the October and June highs of 2024 to retest the January 2024 and October 2023 highs of the range. From the long-term price action, Natural gas completed the bearish impulse wave sequence from August 2022, when it exchanged for $10, in February 2024 at barely $1.5. That was a whooping crash! However, from the perspective of the Elliottwave theory, a 3-wave correction follows a 5-wave trend. It appears the price is correcting the bearish impulse from August 2022. The correction could advance as much as $4.79-5.8. On the daily chart, the correction starts from 1.522 and is emerging into a zigzag structure of the primary degree. Wave ((A)) finished with an impulse structure at 3.16 in June 2024. Since June, the price fell and went sideways suggesting a triangle structure for wave ((B)). Thus, when wave ((B)) ends, wave ((C)) should advance to $4 or higher. On the H4 chart, it appears wave (E) of ((B)) is incomplete. Thus, the pullback from late October could extend to 2.47 -2.35 to complete wave (E) and then price surges to continue the bullish correction that started on February.
