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.

Online trading card games have been the rage ever since they were introduced through the digital version of popular trading card game, 

, in 1997. And now, with blockchain technology, players can own and use playing cards as NFTs, earning crypto as in-game rewards. Arguably the most famous crypto trading card game, 

 offers a unique online collectible card-playing experience. 

 has made its mark in the crypto gaming world, securing the 

With so many crypto trading card games available, just what did the 

 game do to garner such popularity? Let’s find out.

 Traditional trading card games have inherent flaws once they turn digital. For example, your trading cards may be deleted due to inactivity, the deactivation of your account and more. 

, which allows players to own their cards as 

 (NFTs). The game’s trading cards are limited in number, which adds to their value, with approximately 500 of these playing cards in existence today.

The game is free to try, and you only need to spend $10 to unlock its earning benefits. It also runs on several other blockchains, such as

 is named after one of the features in the game, “Splinters/Elements.” The cards employ powers from different splinters/elements when they’re engaged in battle — Neutral, Dragon, Death, Life, Water, Fire and Earth. 

By winning matches, and completing quests and other activities, players can earn two types of in-game currencies: 

 is about, let’s get started with playing the game!

To earn rewards and gain full access to the game, you’ll need to purchase the Summoner's Spellbook when you register, 

 for $10. You can play the game for free, but you’ll only have limited access, and won’t be able to earn anything.

With the purchase of the Summoner’s Spellbook, you’ll get a Hive wallet set up and 3,000 credits, which you can use immediately at the in-game shop, or to buy or rent trading cards from the marketplace. 

After you have enough playing cards, you can engage in battle. While you may want to dive right into playing cards, you’ll first need to learn some basic skills and strategies if you want to win a game. You can learn by watching battles, playing practice matches or even challenging other players.

Once you’re ready, you can engage in battles. There are two types of battles: Modern and Wild. The Modern format only allows you to choose the latest edition cards, while you can pick all cards in the Wild format. 

Each card lists attributes that indicate the power of the card. There are two types of cards — Summoner and Monster/Unit. The cards are categorized in the following manner:

 Mana Cost, Splinter/Elements, Abilities, Armor, Attack, Speed and Health. 

To win your battles, you’ll need to be strategic with the cards you choose. You can only pick one summoner and six monsters/units. 

Focusing on either type of battle will determine your league path — Modern league or Wild league — though you can also advance on both if you wish. Your collection power and ranking points will also decide your league advancement. You can increase your collection power by earning, winning, buying or renting cards. Besides individual cards, you can purchase special card packs called Booster Packs to further boost your collection power, especially since each Booster Pack contains a high-level card.

 is fast-paced. Each battle only takes a few minutes to complete. By winning games you can earn rewards, such as more cards, or Splintershards tokens. As you continue playing games and completing other tasks, you can level up to open more treasure chests and earn more rewards. 

The cards aren’t only used for battles. You can also combine them to upgrade your card levels, collect them, trade them in the marketplace, or earn passive income from them by renting them out to other players.

 to earn money, have fun or collect cards, everyone loves earning rewards. There are several ways for you to earn 

 is through ranked battles. To start earning rewards, you must first reach the Bronze league in either the Modern or Wild battle format. You can earn three types of rewards in ranked battles: SPS Rewards, RShares and Loot Chests. 

When you win a ranked battle, you’ll earn SPS tokens. The amounts will vary, depending on factors such as your rating, capture rate, win streak and more.

Besides SPS rewards, you can also earn RShares (Reward Shares). These rewards will impact the SPS rewards, as well as the season and daily focus rewards. 

3. Loot Chests: Daily Focus and Season Rewards

The RShares earned for every battle will contribute to the quality of the daily focus reward, which is awarded every 24 hours in the form of Loot Chests. You can earn a maximum of 30 daily focus rewards each day. 

Meanwhile, season rewards are offered at the end of a 

 season, which may last between 12 to 16 days. Just like daily rewards, RShares also affect the number of season rewards a player can receive. You can earn a maximum of 150 Loot Chests each season.

Each chest has at least one item contained within: A Reward Card (exclusive card earned from reward chests), Merits (guild currency used to buy items in the Guild Store), a 

 pack, Potions or SPS tokens. The drop rate of these items varies according to the type of chest. 

, you have the ability to earn a spot on the Modern leaderboard and the Wild leaderboard. You can be on both leaderboards at the same time, and earn DEC rewards from both leaderboards at the end of each season. Challenging those who are on the leaderboard and winning can give you a spot on the boards.

 cards in tournaments to win prizes. As tournaments are player-created, the entry requirements to participate vary. The prizes that you win also differ. You may win more 

 tokens, or even other cryptocurrencies. And if you happen to get the same high score as another tournament player, the rewards will be divided equally between you.

can be a profitable way to spend your free time because it enables you to earn both DEC and SPS. On the Splintershards stats page, you’ll see your capture rate, or CR. The CR plays a function in determining the RShares and SPS earned per battle. With a higher CR, you can earn greater rewards. Besides ensuring a high CR, there are five other ways to maximize your profits in

Unlike in other collectible card games, you can rent out

 cards for a passive income. You can easily list cards for rental through the platform. Rental fees are based on a daily DEC price which you set, and the funds are automatically transferred into your account daily. 

When you participate in guilds and enter ranked battles, you can earn bonus DEC rewards from your battle wins.

You can also stake SPS in your game account or in a BSC wallet to earn more SPS. Since staking requires you to lock up your SPS, you cannot use your staked SPS. However, the tokens can be unstaked as desired after four weeks. All SPS tokens earned from winning ranked battles and loot chests are staked automatically once you claim them.

 is by staking SPS or DEC tokens in its Liquidity Pools. When you provide liquidity to the respective liquidity pools, you earn pool rewards. 

You may also burn your playing cards for DEC. The DEC burn value is the same as the Collection Power value, and can be viewed on the Collection page under the Power column. You may also research the burn value of cards that are owned by other players. There is a community-made chart available that shows the burn value for all of the 

Among all the rewards you can receive from playing this collectible card game, the two 

 tokens, SPS and DEC, are the most valuable outside the game. Let’s take a closer look at them and their function within 

Splintershards (SPS) are deeply rooted in the game’s lore. It’s said these rocks, which give the Wizards’ Council its immense power, came about through the great Splintering and were deposited throughout 

. As more Splintershards come together, they may produce enough power to change the landscape within the game. 

On a more realistic level, SPS is a cryptocurrency token on BNB Chain (previously Binance Smart Chain) that grants decision-making power to stakeholders, game players and others. SPS may also be used for oracle rewards, 

SPS has a maximum supply of 3 trillion tokens and a current circulating supply of approximately 489.72 million (as of Sept. 23, 2022). New SPS tokens are regularly added to the various rewards pools at 37,500,000 tokens per month, which decreases at a rate of 1% each month. The rewards will stop after 65 months, after which no more new SPS tokens will be created.

Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) are used in the game to buy or rent cards for battles. DEC tokens are earned by staking them in liquidity pools, or by winning matches. You can also trade DEC or purchase them with fiat currencies outside of the game. 

Splinterlands Crypto (SPS) Price Prediction

The current market price for SPS is roughly $0.069 (as of September 23, 2022). Splintershards was first listed in major crypto aggregation portals at just around 20 cents in July 2021. The token’s price suffered from wild volatility throughout 2021 before bottoming to a relatively stable low, averaging $0.05 from June 2022. 

The first jump in the Splintershards price was in July 2021, reaching over $1 shortly after its listing. The high price was unable to hold, however, and rapidly plummeted to 20 cents again within a few days.

Splintershards then saw a second uptick in its price starting from September, to around $0.88 in October 2021 before sinking to a low of $0.10 in January 2022. Over the following months, the price reduced further to around $0.05 and has not hit $0.10 since.

 active gaming community and constant developments in the game have led experts to anticipate a rise in its future price. 

 expect it to cross $0.26 by 2025. DigitalCoinPrice predicts slower growth, to $0.33, by 2027, while Price Prediction forecasts Splintershards’ price to rise to an average of $0.55 within the same period.

That said, while experts may be bullish on this game’s prospects, always do your own research before investing in any crypto projects, which are prone to volatility in price movement.

 low cost of entry, combined with the ability to earn many rewards in and outside the game, it’s little wonder that it reigns top among all crypto trading card games. The game will only bring in more players as its developers continue to enhance its features and functions, such as the planned land expansion. From the game’s constant evolution, it’s clear we can expect to find more ways to profit from playing
