Venezuela’s Election Body Says Nicolas Maduro Reelected President, Opposition Claims Victory Too: Reports

Venezuela’s dependence of crypto has been fuelled by a a dire economic situation, international sanctions, and nearly 8 million citizens fleeing the country in the past decade.

Venezuela’s election body has announced that Nicolas Maduro has been reelected President of the nation, even though the opposition has claimed victory too, according to reports.

The South-American country’s dependence of crypto has been fuelled by a dire economic situation, international sanctions, and nearly 8 million citizens fleeing the country in the past decade. It is one of the primary remittance-dependent nations in the continent with over $461 million in remittances in 2023 coming through cryptocurrencies, according to blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis.

Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, PDVSA, even looked to Tether (USDT) as a means to bypass sanctions placed on it by the United States, according to reports earlier this year. However, Venezuela ended its Petro cryptocurrency in Jan. 2024, more than five years after it was first launched.

The election authority, controlled by Maduro loyalists, said Maduro won 51% of the vote and opposition candidate Edmundo González secured 44% but since these results were based on 80% of voting stations, this marked an irreversible trend, the Associated Press reported.

In a speech, Maduro praised the electoral system, alleged the system was the target of a failed “massive hack” by a foreign actor, which he refused to identify, and called Argentina’s President Javier Milei a “sociopath.” Milei said on X Venezuelans chose to end Maduro’s dictatorship and that Argentina is not going to recognize another fraud.

The U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said they had “serious concerns” about the election results and Republican Sen. Marco Rubio from Florida which has the largest Venezuelan community in the U.S. said Maduro’s government had “just carried out the most predictable and ridiculous sham election in modern history.”

“Today the dignity and courage of the Venezuelan people triumphed over pressure and manipulation,” said Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on X.

The Role of artificial-intelligence in Digital Marketing

Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just something from sci-fi movies anymore. It’s here, and it’s making waves in all sorts of industries, especially digital marketing. Whether creating personalized experiences for customers or crunching numbers to give us amazing insights, AI is changing the game.

So, let’s learn about how AI is revolutionizing digital marketing and why it’s so exciting.

Why AI in Digital Marketing is a Big Deal

Why is everyone buzzing about AI in digital marketing? It’s because AI helps us understand our customers better, automate tasks, and optimize campaigns in ways we never could before. Think of it as having a super-smart assistant who knows exactly what to do and when to do it.

Personalized Customer Experiences

Imagine visiting a website and seeing content that feels like it was made just for you. That’s AI at work!

Dynamic Content: AI can change what you see on a website based on your past behavior. For example, Netflix uses AI to recommend shows and movies you might like, and it feels like magic.

Enhanced Customer Insights

AI tools can analyze mountains of data faster than any human ever could, giving us pure gold insights.

Predictive Analytics: AI can predict what customers might do next by looking at past behavior. This helps marketers anticipate needs and adjust strategies accordingly.

Chatbots: AI-powered chatbots can handle customer inquiries around the clock, providing instant responses and improving satisfaction. They can answer FAQs, guide users, and even complete transactions.
Content Creation: AI tools can help generate content for blogs, social media, and more. Tools like GPT-3 can create text that reads like a human wrote it, saving time and effort.

Optimization of Advertising Campaigns

AI has changed how we manage and optimize advertising campaigns.

Programmatic Advertising: AI-driven programmatic advertising automates the buying and placement of ads, using data and algorithms to target the right audience at the right time. This maximizes ROI.
Ad Personalisation: AI can personalize ads based on user behavior and preferences, making them more relevant and effective. This leads to higher click-through rates and better engagement.

Social Media Management

Social media can be a handful, but AI tools are here to help.

Social Listening: AI can monitor social media to understand what people are saying about your brand. This helps you stay relevant and respond to feedback quickly.
Content Scheduling: AI-powered tools can analyze the best times to post on social media, ensuring your content reaches the most people.

Improving SEO Strategies through artificial-intelligence

SEO is critical for visibility online, and AI is a huge help here.

Keyword Analysis: AI tools can quickly identify the best keywords to target based on search data.
Content Optimisation: AI can suggest changes to your content to help it rank higher on search engines, ensuring it meets the latest algorithms and user behavior trends.

Real-Time Decision Making

In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, making decisions in real time is crucial, and AI excels at this.

Real-Time Bidding: In digital advertising, AI can manage real-time bidding, ensuring your ads are shown to the most relevant audience at the best price.
Instant Personalisation: AI can personalize a user’s experience on your website or app based on real-time data, increasing engagement and conversions.

Bias and Fairness: AI algorithms can sometimes be biased, leading to unfair outcomes. It’s important to regularly review and adjust algorithms to ensure fairness.
Cost and Implementation: Implementing AI solutions can be costly and complex, requiring investment in technology and skilled personnel.

The Future of AI in Digital Marketing

The role of AI in digital marketing is only going to grow. As technology advances, AI will become even more integrated into marketing strategies, providing deeper insights, more personalized experiences, and greater efficiency. Businesses that embrace AI will have a competitive edge in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

In short, AI is revolutionizing digital marketing by providing personalized customer experiences, enhanced insights, automation, and real-time decision-making. Hire the Inbound Media to leverage AI and optimize your marketing efforts, improve customer satisfaction, and achieve better results.

The future of digital marketing is undeniably intertwined with the advancements in AI, and staying ahead means embracing these changes today.

Two Foreigners Deported for Graffiti Vandalism in Ho Chi Minh City

Advertisements

District 1 Police apprehended Tardieu Kerrigan Marcus Trevor, a 24-year-old from New Zealand, and Extrammiana Pablo, a 26-year-old from France, for defacing property with spray paint. The authorities have charged them with engaging in activities not permitted by Vietnamese law and issued administrative sanctions along with the expulsion order.

The incident took place at 11 PM on July 22, when Tardieu was caught in the act of spraying graffiti on a rolling door on Pho Duc Chinh Street, Nguyen Thai Binh Ward. Extrammiana was found standing nearby, serving as a lookout. Police seized 23 cans of spray paint from the scene and detained both individuals.

The evidence being confiscated by the police.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Tardieu and Extrammiana had rented hotels in the Nguyen Thai Binh and Suong Nguyet Anh Streets area of District 1. However, their temporary residence was not registered by the hotel owner as required by regulations. The duo met through social media and conspired to vandalize city properties under the guise of street art.

Their graffiti activities were widely shared on social media, which they used to gain attention and create a viral effect, negatively impacting public opinion and the city’s aesthetics. Authorities have classified their actions as an organized violation.

In addition to their deportation, the police have ordered Tardieu and Extrammiana to clean up all the graffiti they created in public spaces. This incident is part of a broader effort by the authorities to address the rising issue of graffiti in the city center, which has seen a notable increase in recent months.

Just last month, District 1 Police fined and required a 28-year-old New Zealand citizen to repaint a resident’s door after catching him in a similar act of vandalism. The local community has expressed growing concern over the frequency of such incidents, prompting stricter enforcement measures from the authorities.

Deutsche Telekom Joins RWA-Focused XDC as Infrastructure Provider in Digital Asset Push

Advertisements

The company already runs nodes on multiple blockchain networks and is considering bitcoin mining, its web3 head revealed last month at a conference.

German telecommunications giant, Deutsche Telekom’s subsidiary announced on Thursday that it will expand its Web3 services to the XDC Network (XDC), a blockchain focused on tokenized real-world assets (RWA), trade finance and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePin).

Deutsche Telekom MMS, dedicated to cloud and internet infrastructure, joined the network as an infrastructure provider and will operate a standby masternode. This type of node does not validate transactions on the blockchain as default, but will be called into action if the number of operating validator masternodes drop below the required level of 108.

“This addition utilizes our enterprise-grade infrastructure to enable secure blockchain-based applications, with a focus on the finance sector,” said Dirk Röder, head of Deutsche Telekom MMS’s web3 unit.

The announcement is the latest example of the global telecom company’s growing blockchain prowess, following Röder’s comment last month at the Bitcoin Prague conference last month that the Deutsche Telekom MMS will start mining bitcoin (BTC). The company already runs nodes on Bitcoin and Lightning networks, he said then.

On top of that, the company operates validators on a range of proof-of-stake blockchains including Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC) and Polkadot (DOT), and offers a staking service where customers can deposit tokens to earn rewards for maintaining the network.

XDC is a layer-1 blockchain that’s compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), that claims to offer fast transaction speed and “near zero” gas fees. The network hosts euro and U.S. dollar stablecoins and tokenized versions of real-world assets such as gold and U.S. Treasuries.

Ether Down Over 7.5% as ETHE Outflows Ramp Up

Advertisements

Most Ether ETFs were in the green during the Wednesday U.S. trading session, but Grayscale’s converted Ethereum Trust ETF posted a net outflow of over $800 million.

Ether (ETH) is down over 7.5% in the first hours of East Asia’s business day, trading hands above $3100 as the market continues to be concerned about outflows from Grayscale’s converted Ethereum Trust ETF {{ETHE}}.

Market data from SoSoValue shows that ETHE had a net outflow of over $810 million. This is similar to the first weeks of Grayscale other major crypto trust, GBTC, when it experienced heavy outflows during the first weeks of the bitcoin ETFs trading earlier this year.

Most of the other ETH ETFs continued in the green for flows during the Wednesday session, with BlackRock’s ETHA leading the pack with $283.9 million for inflow, followed by Bitwise’s ETHW, which registered $233.6 in inflow, and in third place Fidelity’s FETH that clocked $145.7 million in inflow.

ETH is up 6% in the last month, and 72% in the last year.

Overall, Ether has outperformed the CoinDesk 20 (CD20), an index that tracks the largest digital assets, year-to-date, with the CD20 up 21.6% compared to ETH which is up 35%.

ETH has continued to trade closely in line with Nvidia (NVDA), which is down over 6% today. Crypto prices have been strongly correlated with the chipmaker’s stock for most of the year.

Opportunities in Vietnam Stock Market Amid Foreign Investment Surge

Advertisements

Vietnam Insider has highlighted the strengths of Vietnam’s domestic stock market, revealing significant opportunities for local investors as foreign capital increasingly flows into the country.

Amid global economic turbulence, foreign investors see Vietnam as an attractive investment destination. While many regions face conflicts, Vietnam remains a peaceful nation and a key export hub.

The global economy is currently unstable, with major markets engaged in intense economic competition. In the United States, upcoming elections add further uncertainty. Regardless of the election outcome, it is expected that the US will continue to strengthen economic ties with Vietnam, presenting an advantage over other markets. Vietnam’s numerous trade agreements with the US and Europe provide a solid foundation for expanding investment and market reach.

These trade agreements have been crucial in sustaining Vietnam’s recent growth, and the country is poised to continue benefiting from shifts in global investment patterns. Since the beginning of the year, Vietnam has seen a surge in exports and robust foreign direct investment. Vietnam’s stable political and economic environment, coupled with balanced internal and external affairs, has shielded its economy from global downturns.

Despite the opportunities presented by shifting capital flows, the challenge for investors lies in their ability to capitalize on these opportunities. One limitation recently observed in the Vietnamese economy is lower-than-expected credit growth, indicating constrained domestic expansion.

Investors believe that domestic businesses and investors need to invest with greater confidence. The current global landscape is favorable for Vietnam, yet some investors remain hesitant, resulting in reduced investment and slower credit growth. To fully leverage this potential, the domestic market requires further development.

Sophie Dao, Senior Partner at Global Business Services LLC (GBS), notes that some major foreign investors have yet to enter Vietnam, raising concerns about the readiness of Vietnamese businesses. A critical issue is the lack of high-tech human resources, which needs to be addressed promptly. Vietnam must invest in workforce training to prepare for the arrival of foreign enterprises.

Both the public and private sectors must be prepared to welcome new investment as geopolitical shifts bring about significant changes. Educational institutions should focus on training high-tech personnel, while regulatory bodies need to implement policies that encourage, promote, and allocate budgets for this purpose.

Vietnamese Shoppers Spent $6 Billion as Online Shopping Surged in H1 2024

Advertisements

In the first half of 2024, Vietnamese consumers spent an impressive VND143.9 trillion ($6 billion) on online shopping, highlighting the rapid expansion of the country’s e-commerce sector.

E-commerce continues to be a significant growth area in Vietnam’s economy. According to market analysis firm Metric, the sector saw over 54% growth in both sales and transaction volume compared to the same period in 2023.

The leading five e-commerce platforms—Shopee, Lazada, Tiki, Sendo, and TikTok Shop—reported remarkable figures, with VND143.9 trillion ($6 billion) in sales and 1.533 million successful deliveries. This marks a 54.91% increase in revenue and a 65.55% rise in transaction volume compared to the first half of 2023.

This growth underscores the strong development of Vietnam’s e-commerce market and shows how businesses are leveraging the shift from offline to online shopping.

A notable trend is the rise of Shop Mall (official store) segments. In the first half of 2024, the number of Shop Malls increased by 12.29% compared to the same period last year.

High-volume sellers on Shopee often have warehouses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the country’s major economic hubs with advanced logistics systems. Additionally, the Red River Delta region is emerging as a promising area due to its dense population and high consumer demand.

Beauty products, women’s fashion, and home goods continue to lead in both sales and volume across all five e-commerce platforms. Notably, affordable products priced under VND200,000 remain highly attractive, with a 3% increase in market share compared to last year. This trend reflects a broader pattern of budget tightening amid current economic conditions, with consumers prioritizing affordable options.

In the first half of 2024, technology brands such as Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi dominated the top sales rankings, highlighting strong consumer demand for tech products.

Among the top 10 highest-grossing brands in Vietnam’s e-commerce market, only one local brand, Vinamilk, made the list. This underscores the intense competition on e-commerce platforms and suggests that domestic brands need more strategic planning to enhance their market presence.

According to Metric, the back-to-school season (late August to early September) is a peak period for office supplies on e-commerce platforms. Sales of stationery items such as pens, notebooks, and various types of paper surged as consumers prepared for the new school year. These products, typically priced under VND50,000, remain popular among Vietnamese shoppers.

Impact of China’s Interest Rate Policy

Advertisements

According to the official announcement, the 7-day reverse repo rate was cut by 10 basis points, dropping from 1.8% to 1.7%. This decision aims to encourage commercial banks to offer loans at more favorable rates, thereby providing a boost to the slowing economy.

Financial experts believe this action is designed to ensure economic growth for the remainder of the year, particularly in light of the slower GDP growth reported for the second quarter. Additionally, it anticipates potential interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Facing signs of decelerating growth and weakening consumer spending, China continues to implement policies to mitigate economic risks and stimulate consumption. Many analysts point to cautious household spending, driven by declining real estate prices and job instability, as a key factor in the current slowdown.

The last reduction in the 7-day reverse repo rate occurred in August of the previous year, accompanied by a cut in the standard 1-year interest rate—however, subsequent pressure to prevent the yuan from devaluing limited China’s ability to lower rates further.

China’s economy is currently experiencing its longest period of deflation since 1999, with prices falling for five consecutive quarters. This prolonged deflation means that real interest rates—nominal rates adjusted for inflation—remain high. Consequently, even modest interest rate cuts may not have a significant impact on economic activity.

By lowering interest rates, the central bank aims to stimulate lending and spending, hoping to counteract the deflationary pressures and support economic growth. As China navigates these economic challenges, the effectiveness of these measures remains to be seen.

Ether Rises Above $3.5K Ahead of ETH ETF Trading, But Inflow Concerns Remain

Advertisements

Ethereum has more utility than Bitcoin with features like liquid staking, but the question among the ETH ETFs performing as well as BTC ETFs remains ahead of trading.

Ether (ETH) jumped above $3,500 ahead of the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are expected to go live for trading on Tuesday, one that some onlookers say could see muted inflows in their first few weeks.

“Market participants are also closely monitoring Grayscale’s US$9 billion ETH Trust, as there are concerns that Grayscale’s potential selling pressure could counteract the positive effects of the new inflows, potentially exerting downward pressure on the market,” wrote Vivien Wong, partner at HashKey Capital’s Liquid Funds, in a Tuesday email to CoinDesk.

Wong’s HashKey helped launch one of the Ether ETFs in Hong Kong. It estimates that inflow will hit $3 billion in the first six months of trading in the U.S., citing bitcoin’s market cap being 30% of Ether’s and the lack of staking.

Ether’s inflation rate, which increases token supply in the open market, is also a point of concern.

“Over the past month, the ETH supply increased by around approximately 60k ETH, contrary to expectations,” Wong said. “While the ETH supply has decreased by approximately 300k ETH since the merge, continued inflation at this rate could negate this reduction within six months, potentially turning ETH into an inflationary asset again.”

ETH reversed losses from Monday’s trading session to gain 0.57% in the past 24 hours, CoinGecko data shows, outperforming the broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, which fell 1.7%.

Eight issuers, including BlackRock, received approval for their latest S-1 filings from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.

Market onlookers are debating if the ETFs could mirror the performance of their bitcoin counterparts, which were issued in January and have since attracted over $17 billion in net inflows.

“The leading question is will ETH ETFs do better than Bitcoin ETFs? In technicality, Ethereum has more utility than Bitcoin with features like liquid staking,” shared Danny Chong, co-founder of Tranchess, in an email to CoinDesk. “ETH ETFs were slow to live up to the industry’s expectations when launched in Hong Kong.”

“However, I do believe that with a larger investor base, ETH ETFs should be able to perform better and bring in the liquidity we require,” Chong added.

Citi wrote earlier this month that it expects approximately $5.4 billion in inflow within the first half-year, citing the lack of staking and Bitcoin’s first-mover advantage as to why it will underwhelm. Gemini puts the number at $5 billion, while JPMorgan estimates “as much as $3 billion” but as high as $6 billion if staking was allowed.

Bitcoin Layer-2 Chain Bitlayer Raises $11M Led by ETF Issuer Franklin Templeton

Bitlayer’s layer 2 is based on the BitVM paradigm, which was unveiled last October and laid out a path for Ethereum-style smart contracts on the original blockchain.

Bitcoin layer-2 blockchain Bitlayer Labs said it raised $11 million in a Series A funding round at a valuation of $300 million.

The investment was led by ABCDE and Franklin Templeton, one of the issuers of a spot bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund in the U.S. The involvement of Franklin Templeton, a trillion-dollar asset manager, suggests the traditional finance (TradFi) world is taking notice of developments in decentralized finance (DeFi).

Bitlayer’s layer 2 is based on the BitVM paradigm, which was unveiled last October, laying out a path for Ethereum-style smart contracts on the original blockchain. BitVM brought fresh impetus to initiatives that seek to introduce greater utility to the network through achieving Turing completeness without compromising security.

Turing completeness refers to a system having all the tools required to carry out any calculation or execute any program. Thus it suggests versatility and utility.

“We believe that Bitlayer’s unique approach and technology has the potential to unlock new use cases and opportunities for Bitcoin,” Kevin Farrelly, managing principal at Franklin Templeton Digital Assets, said in an emailed announcement on Tuesday.

Boost Your Business with Effective Content Marketing Strategies

Advertisements

In today’s competitive digital marketplace, content marketing has emerged as an essential tool for businesses seeking to establish their brand, engage their audience, and increase sales. High-quality, relevant content can help your firm become an industry leader, increase its search engine ranks, and build trust with potential consumers. However, developing a successful content marketing plan entails more than simply producing blog posts and social media updates. It entails knowing your target audience, creating specific goals, and constantly updating your strategy based on performance measurements.

Understanding Your Audience

The foundation of any successful content marketing plan is a thorough grasp of your target audience. What are their requirements, preferences, and pain points? Conducting extensive market research and developing detailed buyer personas will help you adjust your content to solve these issues. You may develop more interesting and powerful content by directly addressing the interests and issues of your audience.

Setting Clear Goals

Setting clear, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals is critical to directing your content marketing efforts. Whether your goal is to increase website traffic, generate leads, or improve sales, establishing defined objectives can help you stay focused and track your progress. Regularly assessing and revising these goals based on performance data ensures that your plan stays on track with your company objectives.

Diversifying Your Content

While blog articles are an essential component of content marketing, varying your content formats can help you reach a larger audience and keep your marketing efforts fresh. Videos, infographics, podcasts, and interactive content such as quizzes can be tailored to individual interests and consumption habits. A well-produced film, for example, will pique the interest of visual learners, whilst a thorough whitepaper will appeal to those looking for in-depth knowledge.

Leveraging Affiliate Programs

Affiliate networks can be a great way to monetize your content and grow your audience. Partnering with other businesses or influencers allows you to promote their products or services in exchange for a commission on sales produced by your referrals. This not only generates more cash but also allows you to reach out to new audiences. When picking affiliate partners, make sure their offers are consistent with your brand’s values and audience interests. This guarantees that your promotional efforts are authentic and relevant.

Optimizing for SEO

Search engine optimization (SEO) is essential for improving the visibility of your content. Optimizing your website and content for relevant keywords will help you boost your search engine rankings and generate more organic traffic. This includes both on-page SEO approaches like employing keyword-rich titles, meta descriptions, and headers, and off-page strategies like creating high-quality backlinks. Regularly upgrading your content to suit current trends and search algorithms can also help you retain good SEO performance.

Analyzing and Refining Your Strategy

Continuous analysis and refinement are critical for the long-term success of your content marketing strategy. You can use tools like Google Analytics to track crucial metrics such as page views, time on page, bounce rate, and conversion rates. These insights might help you determine which content items are most popular with your audience and which require development. Regularly reviewing your performance data allows you to make informed decisions and adapt your strategy to better fulfill your objectives.

Conclusion

Effective content marketing necessitates a systematic approach that incorporates audience data, various content kinds, SEO optimization, and ongoing improvement. By following these tactics, you can construct a powerful content marketing strategy that increases engagement, brand loyalty, and, eventually, your company’s bottom line. Remember that the secret to success is to understand your audience and provide relevant material that fulfills their wants and interests.

Bitcoin Briefly Tops $68K as Biden Dropout Riles Up Crypto Bulls

The general possibility of a crypto-friendly government coming into power is bumping sentiment among professional traders, one firm said.

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly rose above $68,000, before falling to $67,500, at the start of Asian trading hours Monday as bullish sentiment largely rose among traders driven by a favorable U.S. election outlook.

Majors rose higher driven by BTC strength. Ether (ETH) briefly crossed $3,500, Cardano’s ADA and Solana’s SOL added as much as 5%, while dogecoin (DOGE) jumped more than 8% before paring gains.

The broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a liquid index that tracks the largest crypto tokens, minus stablecoins, rose 1.25%.

BTC gains started late Sunday, as incumbent U.S. president Joe Biden said in an X post that he would not contest the upcoming November elections. However, this dropped the odds Republican candidate Donald Trump from Sunday’s 71% to 65% in Asian morning hours Monday on the crypto betting application Polymarket. Meanwhile, odds of sitting Vice President Kamala Harris rose from 16% to 30%.

“Biden’s withdrawal has opened up a possibility where, regardless of who sits in the White House, the U.S. government embrace a more constructive stance towards the digital asset industry after November,” Singapore-based crypto research firm Presto shared in a Monday note to CoinDesk.

“Whether Harris or any other contenders will pursue such a path remains to be seen, but the optionality that hardly existed before is now there,” Presto added.

Trump’s favorable view of cryptocurrencies has attracted massive support from industry players in the past months. He is slated to appear at the Bitcoin 2024 conference later this week in Nashville, a move that has furthered sentiment among market watchers.

“We would expect the market to rally higher as Trump’s key economic policy would be a lower interest rate and cheaper borrowing costs. This would surely boost all risky assets, including BTC,” shared Lucy Hu, senior analyst at Metalpha, in a Telegram message.

“In the mid-long term till the 2025 election, we would expect BTC to continue to rally,” Hu added.

Bitcoin Traders Brace for ‘Fat Tails’ as Focus Shifts to Trump’s Nashville Bitcoin Conference Speech

Speculation is high that Trump will announce a bigger role for BTC in the financial system, triggering a parabolic rise in the cryptocurrency’s price, one observer said.

Donald Trump’s impending appearance at the Nashville Bitcoin conference has traders preparing for fat-tails – extreme or unusual price movements in the leading cryptocurrency.

Activity in the options market listed on Deribit and tracked by Amberdata shows a noticeable increase in the “butterfly index,” which measures the volatility of the out-of-the-money (OTM) 25-delta (∆25) call and put options listed at a distance from the going market price of bitcoin {{BTC}] relative to at-the-money (ATM) options closer the spot price. The spike in the index indicates expectations for more extreme market movements.

“This week we’re going to hear Trump speak at the Nashville Bitcoin conference. As long as Trump remains a front-runner, this is a potential catalyst for “something to happen” this week. The derivative markets seem to agree, and we’re seeing pricing support the “something is about to happen” narrative.” Greg Magadini, director of derivatives at Amberdata, said in an email.

“Something we don’t often talk about, but merits a shoutout this week, is the spike higher in 25-delta wings versus ATM volatility. This type of activity in the options market reflects the anticipation for higher return distribution Kurtosis or fat tails,” Magadini added.

Options are derivative contracts that protect the buyer from bullish or bearish price movements. A call offers protection from bullish moves, while a put is insurance against price slides. Calls at strikes above BTC’s going market rate are said to be OTM, while puts below the going rate are said to be OTM. Traders typically buy OTM options when preparing for unexpected market movements, pushing the butterfly index higher.

Hence, trading desks typically use the term “butterfly” to indicate the extent of change in the volatility smile or the volatility profile of options at various strike levels and expiration dates. When butterflies become costly, it suggests that the volatility smile has steepened, a sign of the potential for extreme or unexpected events to affect market outcomes.

Trump is scheduled to speak at the Nashville conference on July 27, despite the recent assassination attempt that boosted his chances of winning the Nov. 4 Presidential elections. The grapevine is that Trump might announce a more significant role for BTC in the U.S. financial system.

“Speculation is high that he will announce bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, which could trigger a parabolic rise in bitcoin’s price,” Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, said in Monday’s edition of the newsletter. “Taking profit, or even shorting bitcoin ahead of Trump’s Nashville speech, could turn out to be an expensive exercise.”

Additional factors, such as the expected debut of spot ether ETFs in the U.S., also explain the rise in the butterfly index.

“Traders and market makers are worried about tail risks from the FOMC on July 31 and the upcoming spot ETFs, which has pushed up the pricing for BTC’s tail risks [butterfly index],” Griffin Ardern, head of options trading and research at crypto financial platform BloFin, told CoinDesk.

Tail risk refers to the risk of unexpected events that occur outside the normal distribution of returns.

This week, traders will also receive advance estimates of the U.S. GDP growth for the June quarter of 2024, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, and the core PCE prices, durable goods, and retail sales for June. All these numbers will likely influence Fed rate cut expectations and demand for risk assets, including BTC.
