Crypto Markets Persevere, Investor Appetite for Web 3 Grows, and More!

Publicerad

Appetite for Web 3 The banking default risk in the United States started spreading to European banks, taking down Credit Suisse with a takeover by UBS. However, for the second consecutive week, the crypto markets performed in the opposite direction of the macro headwinds. Bitcoin was the biggest winner of last week’s rally, increasing by 15.5%, while Ethereum increased by 3.9%. The biggest losers were Polygon (-6.72%), Maker (-26%), and Lido (-13.86%), which announced it would launch withdrawals of staked ETH by mid-May, two weeks after Ethereum’s Shanghai upgrade.

Spot and Derivatives Markets

Demand for Bitcoin options contracts has increased to levels we haven’t seen since 2021, inching close to $12B on March 19 alone, with Deribit enjoying the lion’s share of ~$10B. This could mean a trend of allocating investments in cryptoassets as a hedge against inflation and the default contagion risk going around in the banking sector.

On-chain Indicators

Figure 3: Ethereum’s Network Value to Transactions Ratio

Analogous to the price to earnings for stocks, the Network Value to Transactions (NVT) Ratio can help track the realized valuation levels of an asset. As shown in Figure 3, an NVT ratio as high as 300 indicates that Ethereum may be overvalued since the network value, or market cap, is higher than the transaction volume. Whereas downtrends like the one seen in 2017 indicate that transactions are outgrowing the network value and investors may be buying Ethereum at a discount. Although the chart above indicates that the market cap outweighs the volume of transactions on the network, historically speaking the second-largest cryptoasset by market cap is still in a healthy valuation range.

Publicerad

First Trust Vest Nasdaq-100® Moderate Buffer UCITS ETF - March Class A Accumulation (FTMQ ETF) med ISIN IE0006S0EBF2, är en aktivt förvaltad ETF.

First Trust Vest Nasdaq-100® Moderate Buffer UCITS ETF – March Class A Accumulation (FTMQ ETF) med ISIN IE0006S0EBF2, är en aktivt förvaltad ETF.

Den börshandlade fonden följer Nasdaq 100:s utveckling och använder FLEX-optioner i ett försök att skydda investerare mot de första 15 % av förlusterna varje år. Buffertstrategin har nackdelen att eventuella värdevinster är begränsade.

Den börshandlade fondens totala kostnadskvot (TER) uppgår till 0,90 % per år. Utdelningarna i ETFen ackumuleras och återinvesteras.

Denna ETF lanserades den 24 mars 2025 och har sitt säte i Irland.

Investeringsmål

Investeringsmålet för FT Vest Nasdaq-100® Buffer ETF – March (”Fonden”) är att sträva efter att ge investerare avkastning (före avgifter och kostnader) som matchar prisavkastningen för Invesco QQQ Trust SM, Serie 1 (”Underliggande ETF”), upp till ett förutbestämt uppåtriktat tak på 18,22 %, samtidigt som det tillhandahåller en buffert (före avgifter och kostnader) mot de första 10 % av förlusterna i den underliggande ETFen, under perioden från 24 mars 2025 till 20 mars 2026.

Handla FTMQ ETF

First Trust Vest Nasdaq-100® Moderate Buffer UCITS ETF – March Class A Accumulation (FTMQ ETF) är en europeisk börshandlad fond. Denna fond handlas på flera olika börser, till exempel Deutsche Boerse Xetra och London Stock Exchange.

Det betyder att det går att handla andelar i denna ETF genom de flesta svenska banker och Internetmäklare, till exempel  Nordnet, SAVR, DEGIRO och Avanza.

Bitcoin just hit $100K again—and this time, it’s more than just a number.

“Bitcoin hitting $100,000 once again isn’t just a milestone: it’s a loud confirmation that crypto is entering a new era,” says Duncan Moir, President at 21Shares. “Over the past weeks, we’ve witnessed Bitcoin break away from traditional markets and carve out its place as a standalone asset class. This decoupling from equities shows investors are no longer treating Bitcoin as just a speculative play—it’s becoming a strategic allocation and a store of value.”
