Weekly highlight — US-Sino trade conflicts cool down

China is considering suspending its 125% tariff on certain US imports, including medical equipment and industrial chemicals like ethane, due to the economic impact of the trade war. Discussions are also underway to waive tariffs on aircraft leases, which are financially burdensome for airlines.

This potential move has boosted investor optimism, with Asian shares rising and the yuan recovering losses. Analysts view this as a step toward de-escalation, although significant differences between the US and China remain.

The proposed exemptions align with recent US tariff exclusions on electronics, highlighting the intertwined nature of the two economies. Chinese companies reliant on US goods, such as advanced medical equipment and ethane, have reported some shipments arriving without tariffs.

While the list of potential exemptions is still being finalized, authorities have requested companies submit customs codes for necessary goods. Reports suggest China may also waive tariffs on at least eight semiconductor-related products, excluding memory chips, which could impact companies such as Micron Technology.

Overall, while investor interest grows, relations between the two nations still face challenges, with China demanding the US revoke unilateral tariffs before resuming trade talks.

Traders have heavily invested in Cantor Equity Partners Inc, a blank-check company merging with Twenty One Capital Inc., which is backed by Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank. Since the April 22 merger announcement, Cantor's stock has surged 197%, closing at $31.50 on Friday.

The merger includes a convertible debt offering, potentially leading to a market capitalization of about $12 billion that would far exceed the estimated $4 billion value of the Bitcoin it’s expected to hold. This would reflect strong demand for crypto-related investments.

Analysts note that investing in such vehicles is akin to betting on Bitcoin's growth. Public special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) shareholders are projected to own 2.7% of the new company, while major stakeholders like Tether and SoftBank will have substantial shares. Overall, the market is optimistic about this collaboration in the digital asset space.

Weekly Institutional Insights: Trade conflicts cool down as crypto SPAC sees popularity

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.

At the start of the week, Bitcoin showed signs of decoupling from US equities. However, US president Trump's positive remarks about the US-China trade war (which had included a 145% tariff on Chinese goods) triggered a relief rally across markets. As a result, BTC has resumed moving up with US equities. 

This rally has led to a rise in short-tenor implied volatility and a recovery in BTC’s put-call skew, indicating that traders are seeking upside exposure.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Perp open interest rises across the board

Perpetual open interest increased significantly this week across various tokens, especially ETH. Perpetual trading volumes also rose. Notably, Ap 7, 2025 recorded the highest trade volume of the month, following Trump's comment, "Forget markets for a second, we have all the advantages."

BTC option open interest shows a mixed picture; put-call skew in short tenor sends positive signals

President Trump’s recent willingness to negotiate a trade deal with China’s President Xi triggered a relief rally across asset classes, including crypto. Bitcoin had already risen 7% since Apr 21, 2025, prior to Trump's comments. Despite this rally, open interest in puts has outpaced calls, with options volume remaining relatively balanced. 

It's unclear if the demand for puts reflects a hedge against downside risks, or a bet against the upward movement. Meanwhile, perpetual funding rates are providing limited insight into sentiment. However, the recovery of the put-call skew at short tenors indicates that traders are seeking upside exposure to the rally — and are willing to pay for it.

ETH unexpectedly outperforms BTC in this relief rally

ETH's response to the recent crypto market recovery has diverged from previous trends: it outperformed BTC in spot prices, a rarity in past rallies, and open interest in calls exceeds that in puts — opposite to BTC's trend. In addition, ETH call open interest is nearly double that of puts, with calls dominating options volumes. This suggests traders anticipate ETH will reduce its significant underperformance against both BTC and other “ETH killers” like SUI and SOL. Additionally, the spot rally has led to another term structure inversion for ETH.

Highlights: What to expect at Bybit (Apr 28–May 2, 2025)

Balance (EPT) is revolutionizing web3 gaming with evolving AI companions, blending blockchain, strategy, and intelligent gameplay in one powerful platform.

Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are a key growth area within the blockchain industry. Projects like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), 

 (AI16Z) and countless others have been essential components driving the overall crypto market. As of April 2025, the CoinGecko portal lists more than 500 cryptocurrencies within its category of AI Agents. These intelligent assistants are now helping individuals and businesses analyze markets, create textual and visual content, automate work processes and trade profitably.

There's a further area where AI agents on the blockchain are flourishing: the world of 

 gaming. In this sphere, bots and agents based on AI algorithms are helping users develop the best in-game strategies, succeed in the competitive world of play-to-earn (P2E) and overcome key challenges in complex gameplay.

Balance (EPT) is a blockchain gaming project that takes the use of 

 to a completely new level. The creation of the team at the world’s largest social gaming platform, E-Pal, Balance offers players AI agents that can aid them in the in-game environment and serve as their personal companions. Based on a multi-layer architecture, the platform offers some of the most cutting-edge use cases for gaming-oriented AI agents.

 (EPT) is a web3 gaming platform that allows players to easily create, own and use AI companions within the blockchain games it supports.

 Balance supports a variety of first-party (internally developed) and third-party web3 games. You can deploy your AI gaming companions and they’ll act as your assistants, friends or co-players within Balance games.

Using Balance.fun, the platform’s primary web interface, you can create your AI agents and specify various details, such as appearance, personality and functions.

Balance isn’t just another obscure crypto gaming platform. The origins of the project date back to 2020, when the E-Pal social gaming provider was launched by four young California-based technology entrepreneurs — Brian Xiong, Tung Pham, Yuzhe Norris Wang and Yuanzhe Li. E-Pal quickly became a leading force in the newly emerging social gaming field, helping players worldwide find gaming companions. By early 2024, E-Pal had become the world’s largest gaming companion platform, boasting 4.2 million users and 450,000 Epals (gaming companions).

In February 2024, the E-Pal team focused its efforts on 

 and AI technologies, starting the development work on the Balance gaming platform. In September of the same year, Balance went live.

Per the project’s documentation, the platform operates on its own chain, Balance Chain, with 

 (AA) technology used for cross-chain communication. The fungible and 

 (NFTs) held by user accounts are based on the 

A key part of the Balance ecosystem is Key Nodes — purchasable 

 that help with the processing, storage and distribution of data required in the resource-intensive environment of web3 gaming. Some applied instances are the management of real-time leaderboards and the automatic distribution of loot and in-game currency. These nodes can also support the computational requirements of training AI models. As a reward for their work in supporting the platform’s operations, Key Nodes receive a wide range of rewards and benefits, including distributions of EPT tokens, the platform’s native cryptocurrency.

As the ecosystem develops, Key Nodes are envisioned to be involved in governance, 

 launch in September 2024, Balance introduced its Points System, designed to reward early contributors to the platform. During the campaign run in September, users could earn points by completing various specified tasks in various activities, such as joining the project’s social media pages or commenting and reposting.

The 400 users with the best performance in the Points System earned a whitelist spot to receive Pioneer Badge NFTs — distinct tokens that provide owners with early access to games, future campaigns, airdrops and beta testing opportunities. Pioneer Badge NFT holders can also enjoy other benefits, such as premium NFTs and voting rights on the Balance platform.

Balance’s platform provides a set of tools to create and use intelligent companions for Balance-based games. You can design your AI companions by specifying their key traits and behaviors through custom prompts and strategies. The AI agents on Balance can assist you in battles, gaming contests, learning, routine task execution and interactive entertainment.

Balance’s platform is made up of five key layers, each one serving a specific purpose in supporting its user and developer communities. At the top of the architectural stack is the application layer, which acts as the main interface for users to interact with human and AI companions and the wider Balance community.

The application layer also contains the AI Battle Reporting System, which is designed to give users feedback and analysis tools on their performance in the platform’s gaming ecosystem. AI technology is leveraged here to provide personalized analytics and performance improvement recommendations.

A range of NFTs are also part of the layer. These include in-game asset NFTs, as well as 

 (SBTs) that serve as summaries of the holder’s achievements.

The platform layer hosts the various games within the Balance gaming universe. These include both internal games and third-party games that have partnered with Balance. The key concept uniting all of the games is the active integration of AI companions and AI players, making the platform a unique environment in which humans and AI agents play, interact and compete.

The platform layer also features an AI-driven NFT launchpad that offers a rich tool set for creating personalized NFTs for games and applications. These NFTs can be traded on Balance's NFT marketplace, which is also an integral part of the platform layer.

The protocol layer includes a trio of critical protocols — the Fans Protocol, Epal Fan Token (FT) Exchange Protocol and Asset Protocol. The Fans Protocol lets players launch and manage their Fan Tokens, creating opportunities for influencers and community builders to tokenize their efforts and launch high-potential crypto assets. Meanwhile, the Epal FT Exchange Protocol facilitates the management of (and trade in) Fan Tokens.

The third protocol, Asset, is used for the comprehensive management of a wide range of digital assets on Balance, providing easy-to-use tools for asset creation and trading.

The token layer is designed for core operations involving the platform’s native EPT token. This layer supports the use of EPT for in-game purchases, access to services and AI companions, Fan Token minting and trading, in addition to other functionalities.

This is the underlying infrastructural layer that powers the platform’s operational mechanism. It can be described as Balance's operating system, and is made up of several critical components: the node system, the Balance 

, the Balance Chain network and the platform's unique ID system.

The node system provides the computational and storage resources to power games and other functionality on Balance. In addition, the system acts as a key connecting medium between Balance Chain and the AA functionality that lets the platform enjoy cross-chain capabilities.

The Balance stablecoin, also part of the infra layer, is designed to reduce volatility and bring rate stability to the platform's gaming ecosystem. The Balance stablecoin system helps players engage in asset trading without the fear of wild market fluctuations, an important consideration in the 

Designed to support multiple chains, Balance Chain operates based on dynamic protocol adaptation, automatically selecting the optimal blockchain platform according to user preferences and needs. This dynamic adaptability is designed to reduce costs, improve operational speed and enhance overall security for users.

The final major component of the Balance infrastructure layer, the Balance ID system, is a unified and secure user authentication and identity management solution. To be introduced later in 2025, the ID system will let users access all services and games within the Balance ecosystem via a single set of cross-platform decentralized credentials. In addition to human players, also AI companions will have their unique IDs.

EPT is the native cryptocurrency of Balance. Although the platform has been operational since 2024, the EPT token was just launched on Apr 21, 2025, with a total and maximum supply of 10 billion. It was issued on two major blockchains — Ethereum and BNB Chain. EPT has a wide range of functional use cases on the platform, including the following:

The EPT token's supply allocation is per the chart below.

 as a swap pair with USDT, and through the exchange's 

 based on USDT. You can also take advantage of Bybit’s campaign dedicated to the token to grab a share of the 

Under the terms of the event, new users can earn EPT rewards by accumulating a deposit volume of at least 3,000 EPT, or by depositing at least 100 USDT and trading 100 USDT worth of EPT via their first spot trade with Bybit. Meanwhile, existing users can qualify for rewards by trading at least 500 USDT worth of EPT on Spot. The event is valid through May 5, 2025, 9AM UTC.

As of Apr 25, 2025, the EPT token has been on the market for only four days, and is trading at $0.0117, which is 26.4% lower than its ATH of $0.01708 on Apr 21, 2025, and 11.4% higher than its ATL of $0.01129 on Apr 22, 2025.

Long-term price forecasts for EPT are mostly bullish. DigitalCoinPrice 

 of $0.0412 in 2027 and $0.0615 in 2030, whilePricePrediction 

These and other emerging long-term forecasts for the token don't constitute investment advice. Given EPT's extremely short history on the market so far, 

 on the token's future prospects, carefully assess market fluctuations within the crypto gaming niche and consider all other relevant factors before investing in it or any other cryptocurrency.

Capturing emerging market trends and sensing the broader market conditions, the team at E-Pal recognized the tremendous potential of gaming companions back in 2020. Four years later, E-Pal realized that the new market dynamics in gaming called for something even more innovative — the use of AI companions, in addition to fellow humans. The resulting product, the Balance platform, is now racing to stake the claim to the best web3 gaming environment supported by AI agents.

The platform's unique features — cross-chain functionality supported by an AA mechanism, a dynamic exchange system that selects the best network for users' transactions and, most importantly, intelligent AI companions — can certainly help establish Balance as a leader in this niche of web3 gaming.

AI agents are taking the gaming industry by storm, with blockchain technology acting as a powerful enabler of these intelligent friends of ours. The Balance gaming universe — supported by the proven track record of E-Pal — has a great chance of becoming the go-to environment in which to befriend your next artificial gaming partner.

Cosmos, aka the "internet of blockchains," thrives on its customizability and interoperability. ATOM is the governance token used to sustain the ecosystem. Learn how it works & should you invest in it.

Welcome to the fascinating world of Cosmos, the “Internet of 

” that aims to revolutionize the way we perceive and interact with blockchain technology. Are you curious about what sets Cosmos apart from the competition, and how it is paving the way for a more connected and efficient blockchain ecosystem? Look no further! In this comprehensive guide, we will dive into the heart of Cosmos, exploring its origins, core technologies, and the potential it holds for both developers and investors. So, let’s begin by answering the question: what is Cosmos?

Imagine a world where independent decentralized blockchains can communicate and exchange assets seamlessly, where sovereignty, scalability, and sustainability are no longer challenges. This is the vision that Cosmos seeks to achieve. As a decentralized ecosystem, Cosmos connects independent blockchains, powered by the Tendermint BFT consensus algorithm and secured by Proof-of-Stake (PoS) governance.

Cosmos, through its promotion of interoperability and collaboration, stands at the brink of revolutionizing the cosmos blockchain landscape, with cosmos blockchains playing a vital role in this transformation. The implementation of the cosmos protocol further enhances this process.

The Cosmos Network, at its core, is a decentralized ecosystem of interconnected blockchains called zones, serving as an economic center for secure communication and asset exchange. Each zone is powered by the Tendermint BFT consensus algorithm and secured by the PoS governance model. The Cosmos Hub serves as the central hub of decentralized network, connecting these zones and facilitating their interactions.

The distinctive design of the Cosmos Network promotes efficient scaling. Independent operation of each zone mitigates congestion and enhances transaction throughput. Cosmos validators are responsible for securing the network and validating transactions, using their staked ATOM tokens as collateral. With the Cosmos Network, the dream of a truly interoperable and scalable blockchain ecosystem is becoming a reality.

The Cosmos Ecosystem is a dynamic and thriving environment, encompassing a wide array of applications, services, and tools built on the Cosmos Network. These solutions span various industries, including:

The Cosmos Ecosystem, managing over $48 billion in digital assets, has drawn an array of diverse projects like Interchain GmbH, Informal Systems, and Regen Network. This rich and collaborative ecosystem offers ample opportunities for innovation, growth, and value creation, solidifying Cosmos’ position as a key player in the blockchain arena.

Three core technologies form the foundation of Cosmos: Tendermint BFT consensus algorithm, PoS governance, and the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. These technologies work in harmony to ensure secure and efficient communication between blockchains, enabling Cosmos to overcome the challenges of sovereignty, scalability, and sustainability that have long plagued traditional blockchain networks.

Tendermint BFT is a cutting-edge consensus algorithm that underpins the Cosmos Network, ensuring fast and efficient transaction processing. It offers byzantine fault tolerance BFT, which means that even in the presence of malicious actors, the network can reach consensus and continue to function securely.

The Tendermint Core consensus engine, which utilizes the tendermint consensus algorithm, is responsible for maintaining consistency across the network, ensuring that all machines record the same transactions in the same order. This engine, combined with a round-robin block proposal mechanism and fast finality, enables Cosmos to process transactions swiftly and reliably, setting it apart from traditional blockchain networks.

Offering a sustainable and scalable alternative to conventional Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanisms, 

 (PoS) presents a ground-breaking governance model. In the Cosmos Network, validators are selected based on the amount of ATOM they have staked, incentivizing them to act in the network’s best interests to maximize their rewards.

The PoS model reduces energy consumption and environmental impact, making it a more sustainable choice for blockchain networks. Additionally, PoS enables consensus to be reached before block creation, resulting in improved scalability and transaction throughput. With PoS at its core, Cosmos is well-equipped to tackle the challenges of modern blockchain networks.

The Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol is a key component of the Cosmos Network, enabling secure asset and data exchange between independent blockchains and the Cosmos Hub. This groundbreaking protocol allows blockchains to connect and communicate seamlessly, overcoming the fragmentation that has long hindered the blockchain industry.

IBC not only supports crypto and NFT transfers but also paves the way for cross-chain smart contracts, enabling new levels of interoperability and collaboration within the blockchain ecosystem. With the IBC protocol, Cosmos is breaking down barriers and ushering in a new era of connectivity in the blockchain world.

 is an open-source toolkit that empowers developers to build sovereign blockchain apps with ease and efficiency. It offers:

The modular framework of the Cosmos SDK is designed to streamline and simplify the software development kit and process, allowing developers to build and deploy blockchain applications quickly and efficiently. This framework consists of interoperable modules, which can be combined to create fully-fledged Cosmos SDK applications.

These modules define various functionalities, such as 

, slashing, and authentication, and can be selected and arranged according to developers’ specific needs. By leveraging this modular framework, developers can focus on the unique aspects of their applications while benefiting from the pre-built functionality provided by the Cosmos SDK.

Providing an exceptional degree of customizability and flexibility, the Cosmos SDK empowers developers to design blockchain solutions that cater to their specific needs. With a wide range of functional components available, developers can easily customize and compose modules to meet their unique requirements and goals.

Through the Application Blockchain Interface (ABCI), developers can also connect their custom state machines with Cosmos’ underlying consensus engine, further enhancing the customizability of their blockchain applications. With the Cosmos SDK, the potential for innovation and creativity in the blockchain space is virtually limitless.

Cosmos in Comparison: Ethereum and Polkadot

While Cosmos shares some similarities with other blockchain platforms like 

, it stands out due to its focus on interoperability, sustainability, and developer-friendly design. Distinguishing itself from both Ethereum and Polkadot, Cosmos dedicates itself to the connection of independent blockchains, facilitating secure communication and asset exchange between them.

However, despite its innovative approach and impressive technology stack, Cosmos has yet to achieve the same level of popularity and widespread adoption as Ethereum. This may be due in part to Ethereum’s first-mover advantage in cryptocurrency market and the extensive ecosystem of 

Nevertheless, Cosmos remains a promising contender in the blockchain space, offering unique advantages that are sure to attract developers and investors alike, making it a great opportunity to buy Cosmos at its current cosmos price.

 and Ethan Buchman, who authored the white paper in 2016 and released the software in 2019. The project received significant funding from the Swiss Interchain Foundation and Tendermint, enabling the Cosmos team to develop and refine the core technologies that underpin the Cosmos Network.

The ATOM token, also known as the cosmos atom, is the primary token and native currency of the Cosmos Network, introduced in 2017 through an initial coin offering (

) that raised over $17 million. Since then, the Cosmos ecosystem has grown and evolved, attracting numerous projects and developers seeking to leverage its powerful toolkit and innovative approach to blockchain interoperability.

As the native token of the Cosmos Network, ATOM serves multiple purposes, including staking, governance, and paying transaction fees within the network. Since its inception, current price of the ATOM token has experienced significant gains, making it an attractive investment option for some.

. As with any investment, it is essential to conduct thorough research and consider potential risks before investing in ATOM or any other cryptocurrency. Keeping an eye on the atom price can help you make informed decisions.

 on Bybit, you might be wondering where you can store your ATOM tokens safely. Cosmos originally introduced itself as a revolutionary cryptocurrency 

, making quite a name for itself immediately after its release. Since then, ATOM tokens have been widely accepted by many exchanges and is available in 

To safely store your asset, always opt to save it in a 

. Leaving them in your crypto exchange is vulnerable to hacks. There are plenty of choices you can make for a cryptocurrency wallet, whether it’s a 

. Alternatively, you can also opt for a paper wallet.

The security and governance of the Cosmos Network heavily rely on the staking of ATOM. Validators, who participate in decision-making processes and secure the network, are rewarded based on the amount of ATOM they have staked. This incentivizes validators to act in the best interest of the network, ensuring its integrity and stability.

To stake ATOM, holders can delegate their tokens to one or more validators, who will then participate in the consensus process on their behalf. Staking rewards are distributed proportionally to the amount of ATOM staked, offering an additional incentive for ATOM holders to participate in the governance and security of the Cosmos Network.

The future of Cosmos looks promising, bolstered by ambitious plans for Interchain Security, enhanced IBC connections for DeFi and NFT transfers, alongside the sustained development of innovative blockchain applications and services. Interchain Security, a forthcoming feature, aims to secure multiple chains in return for additional stake rewards, further enhancing the value and utility of the ATOM token.

As the Cosmos ecosystem continues to grow and evolve, it is poised to drive innovation and adoption in the blockchain space. With its focus on interoperability, sustainability, and developer-friendly design, Cosmos is well-positioned to make a lasting impact on the future of blockchain technology.

Cosmos is a game-changing blockchain ecosystem that seeks to revolutionize the way we interact with and develop blockchain technology. With its innovative approach to interoperability, sustainability, and developer-friendly design, Cosmos is poised to transform the blockchain landscape and pave the way for a more connected and efficient future. As the “Internet of Blockchains” continues to grow and evolve, the potential for innovation and value creation within the Cosmos ecosystem is virtually limitless.

Cosmos is an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, using hubs, the Tendermint consensus algorithm, Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol and smart contracts to enable secure communication between blockchains. It is also another name for the universe, suggesting that it is a complex and orderly system.
