QCP Capital: LIBRA ‘s escape scandal may curb the market of altcoins and Meme coins, options market will wait and see policy changes
The latest analysis from QCP Capital points out that as the market continues to move sideways, Bitcoin’s market dominance has risen to about 60%, close to a four-year high, while ETH and other altcoins continue to perform poorly. Analysis pointed out that the recent scandal involving Argentine President Millay in the LIBRA project may affect the development of similar projects and curb the market for altcoins and Meme coins.
The report pointed out that after the bitcoin price returned to the middle of the range, the 7-day realized volatility dropped to 36, pushing the implied volatility to continue to decline. Due to the lack of a major positive catalyst for cryptocurrencies, price movements are more driven by macro factors, and the correlation between Bitcoin and the stock market is still significant.
Despite the current macro uncertainties such as tariffs, debt ceilings and inflation, as well as the unpredictability brought by Trump, the implied volatility and VIX of cryptocurrencies remain low.
The report also pointed out that Bitcoin has shown strong resistance to recent macro data, and open interest has not recovered significantly after it expired at the end of January. This suggests that the cryptocurrency options market is waiting for specific policy changes rather than just responding to positive rhetoric.
Currently, despite low volatility, market participants are still holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the value of payment times, which is similar to when Bitcoin fluctuated within the range in the second and third quarters of last year. Most trading currently focuses on near-term volatility selling or range trading rather than betting on major breakthroughs.
