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.

Linear Finance is a decentralized, transparent platform used for synthetic asset management and exchanges. Read more about how it works in this article.

The traditional financial system — riddled with burdensome challenges — makes it more or less prohibitive to some people. Services are available only during banking hours, the transaction process can be tediously slow, and fees are often expensive. 

 (DeFi) offers strategic advantages. However, many DeFi platforms have high 

, front-running issues and liquidity challenges. Linear Finance is a relative newcomer to the cryptocurrency space, and it addresses these challenges as a synthetic asset exchange platform.

The Linear Finance platform uses synthetic assets, or “Liquids,” to support transactions without the risk of slippage. Through its democratized functionality, it provides users with access to both traditional and digital assets, which include thematic indices, spot cryptocurrencies and commodities. Linear Finance stands apart from other DeFi platforms because it’s cross-chain compatible, noncustodial and uses a delta-one asset protocol. Its functionality is executed through the applications 

Linear Finance uses the native LINA token to collateralize physical and digital assets, as well as debts. By holding LINA, users can access Linear USD, or ℓUSD, which enables direct interaction with Liquids. For example, a combination of LINA and ETH is needed to create synthetic assets through the Linear Buildr application. LINA holders can also participate in governance. Users who stake LINA qualify for inflationary rewards, 

 exchange fee rewards and yield farming rewards.

The Linear Finance protocol is powered by ℓUSD, its in-house 

 and synthetic USD token. Users can purchase ℓUSD through a 

, or construct it through the Linear Buildr application. The coin provides users with access to market indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies.

 teamed up to establish Linear Finance. Tai, a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, brought financial expertise to the table with previous work experiences at Standard Chartered and Credit Suisse. His career has included completing more than $20 billion in divestment and acquisition deals. Tai is currently the CEO of Linear Finance.

Drey Ng is the technical mastermind behind Linear Finance. Ng studied computer science at the University of Hong Kong, and has financial experience through his work at Deutsche Bank. His experience also includes working on blockchain projects for Liquefy, a major security token company in Asia. According to his LinkedIn profile, Ng is no longer with Linear Finance.

As stated above, Linear Finance’s exceptional capabilities and functionality are established via four 

: Linear Buildr, Linear Exchange, Linear Swap and Linear Vault. Linear Buildr supports the creation of LINA tokens and the pooling of collateral. Tokens are created when the value of the collateral pool is greater than that of Liquids. Specifically, the pledge ratio is 500%, however, the governing panel is 

On the Linear Exchange, LINA tokens can be 

 to create ℓUSD, which, in turn, can be used to buy Liquids on the Linear Exchange DApp. The Liquids can then be applied toward the purchase of indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies.

 to support cross-chain functionality. Through this feature, Liquids, LINA and ℓUSD can be exchanged for other tokens to minimize expensive gas fees. 

The Linear Vault supports passive income generation for those who 

. Interest is paid in LINA and rewards are paid weekly from funds generated via the coin exchange transaction fee.

Linear Finance is a robust DeFi platform that supports improved investments in both digital and traditional assets. While the core of its design is centered around synthetic assets, the platform has several unique features that further differentiate it from other platforms. Let’s take a closer look.

Through this DApp, LINA tokens are used as collateral to support the pooling of assets and the creation of Liquids. It’s important to note that future plans for Linear Finance include the use of LINA and other types of digital assets as collateral. Once the pool of contributed LINA tokens exceeds the Liquids value by the determined percentage, more Liquids can be created. Linear Buildr also supports LINA staking, which in turn supports building ℓUSD tokens. Once created, ℓUSD tokens can be used for transactions on the Linear Exchange.

The purpose of the Linear Exchange is to facilitate speedy financial transactions. In fact, financial processes that may take days to complete traditionally may be executed through the Linear Exchange within seconds. The platform’s users either create ℓUSD through the Buildr DApp or acquire them on a third-party exchange. The ℓUSD tokens can then be used to buy commodities, cryptocurrencies and indices in Liquid format. 

Linear Exchange supports zero-slippage transactions and unlimited liquidity. Trades are executed through 

and supported by a debt pool. While the processes are supported by the Ethereum blockchain, other blockchains are also used to minimize gas fees. The transaction fee is 0.25%, but this may change in the future.

Likewise, the Linear Swap application is developed on the Ethereum blockchain, but it’s also integrated with Polkadot and BNB Chain. Linear Swap supports cross-chain swapping while also reinforcing composition and connectivity on other DeFi platforms. It specifically allows for the swapping of Liquids, ℓUSD and LINA. A key advantage of Linear Finance is its low transaction fees. Linear Swap allows token swaps to be completed via other blockchain formats, so gas fees are kept in check.

When ℓUSD/BUSD LP tokens are staked, they’re maintained in the Linear Vault. Users are rewarded for staking their tokens and contributing to the asset pool through yield gains. These include gains from the stablecoins’ value inflation and through rewards. The rewards are a portion of the Linear Exchange’s transaction fees, and are only applied when the pledge ratio has been met or exceeded.

 is the Linear Finance community whose participants hold LINA tokens that are either available for use, locked or staked. The purpose of the community is to promote the protocol’s long-term health and growth, and to initiate and drive protocol changes. Any community member can submit proposals for improvements. The governance process involves a preliminary review, a formal review and voting. The Linear Council oversees the DAO and can veto proposals. It’s composed of four members who have a strong investment in the platform’s success. However, Council posts aren’t stationary, and its members are nominated and voted for or against by the 

 two weeks before the end of each epoch.

Linear Finance has been designed from the ground up to be a low-cost, transparent platform for completing a variety of financial transactions. Through its unique design and its usage of Ethereum and other blockchain networks, it stands apart from others. Here are its benefits.

A traditional financial transaction may take several days to complete. A transaction via Linear Finance can be cut down to a few seconds. Because the platform operates on Ethereum, it offers cross-chain compatibility, which promotes optimized speed. The pooling of funds and the platform’s protocol also support fast processing times.

Compared to other processes and platforms, Linear Exchange has notably low fees. In fact, it charges only a 0.25% transaction fee, and users who stake their tokens in reward yields earn a portion of that fee. One reason for Linear Finance’s competitive fees is that it uses smart contracts on several blockchain networks instead of only on Ethereum.

While some platforms are compatible only with token exchanges, Linear Finance offers a robust range of options. In addition to tokens, the platform allows for investments in commodities and market indices. Regardless of the assets being traded, the transaction may be finalized in seconds.

Linear Finance has been expertly designed to focus on affordability and transparency, and it delivers convenient access to a variety of digital and physical assets, with a fast transaction speed. However, the platform does have a few downsides to be aware of before you establish an account and use its applications. Take note of the following drawbacks.

At this point in time, Linear Finance has a pledge ratio requirement of 500%. In order to create Liquids on the Linear Builder DApp and gain access to the platform’s other features as a result, this ratio must be met. In addition, the ratio must be maintained to receive staking rewards through Linear Vault. Users have the ability to contribute more tokens to the pool to achieve their goals. However, this drawback will soon be alleviated as the ratio is expected to be reduced through governance action to 400%.

Linear Finance launched in 2020 when it 

. Despite being a newcomer to the DeFi space, it has already generated a solid buzz and is being used by people around the world. Nonetheless, many aspects of the platform are still evolving. 

For example, as mentioned previously, the pledge ratio is expected to be reduced at some point going forward, and this may positively impact activity on the platform. Another example is its functionality with other blockchain networks. As these and other developments are finalized, Linear Finance may offer an improved user experience.

Linear Finance fills an important space in decentralized finance. Today, most DeFi systems are based on the Ethereum blockchain, when other blockchains also offer exceptional benefits. However, their benefits haven’t been taken advantage of until recently. Linear Finance has a 

 that bridges Ethereum and other blockchains seamlessly. 

In addition to reducing related risks of cross-chain functionality, Linear Finance supports fast processing speeds, very minimal gas fees and rapid price discovery. More specifically, by not relying solely on the Ethereum blockchain, Linear Finance can reduce gas fees by as much as 90%. In addition, price discovery occurs in real time to support transparency and equality.

As we know, Linear Finance obtained $1.8 million in seed investment funds in 2020, which enabled the venture to get off the ground. Since then, it has developed strategic partnerships, attracted many users, and continues to make improvements to its platform. Recently, 

 — that allows users to earn a 10% bonus by liquidating market accounts. Linear Finance also has established new partnerships with 

In addition to these recent accomplishments, Linear Finance has several pending projects either in the works, or that will begin soon. One of these is to create a “Progress” feature for pending transactions. The dashboard layout will also have a new design that permits users to place advance orders. 

The first offering of LINA tokens in September 2020 comprised 25 million tokens that sold for $0.004. The following round consisted of slightly more than 22 million tokens that sold for $0.0045. On March 18, 2021, LINA peaked at $0.3126. By May 2021, the token’s price had decreased and was trading for $0.10.

The total supply of LINA tokens is 10 billion. The circulating supply is slightly more than 4.1 billion tokens. As of October 2021, the price of a LINA token is approximately $0.0075.

As a cross-chain compatible, delta-one asset protocol that uses synthetic assets, Linear Finance offers strategic benefits. Users can take advantage of low gas fees when buying physical and digital assets through the platform. They can also benefit from instantaneous transaction results, staking rewards and more. So far, holding LINA tokens also has proven to be advantageous for traders. While the token’s value has fluctuated with changing market conditions, its original price of $0.004 per unit has increased to roughly $0.0075 per unit today.

The platform is governed by its community, Linear DAO. Oversight of Linear DAO is by four elected council members. Through this group, proposals for growth and development are submitted and considered. The Linear Finance team has already made significant improvements to its platform since its launch, and it continues to develop. For example, it has recently added three new partnerships, and it continues to develop others. The dashboard is being revamped to include a “Progress” feature that will enable advance orders. As more proposals are considered, this platform will continue to develop.

Linear Finance is a cross-chain compatible platform that pushes the DeFi space forward. Between the availability of physical and digital assets, low gas fees and other features, the platform has already garnered rightful attention. As it develops, Linear Finance will likely attract more users and boost its token value.
