0/ In today’s Delphi Daily, we break down $BTC exchange inflows, @DeribitExchange futures trading at -75% basis, and gas hitting 1700 gwei.

Check out the full analysis! 👇

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ May 2021 hasn’t been kind to BTC bulls, but today was by far the worst day for the market since March 2020.

Over $2 billion in BTC positions —longs and shorts — were liquidated in today’s choppy market. Over $10 billion were liquidated across crypto perps and futures.
2/ As demand dried across BTC markets, the annualized basis for one month futures briefly traded at a big discount. @DeribitExchange had the worst reaction, with basis reaching -75%.

This was a result of heavy selling across futures market causing them to go into backwardation.
3/ Gas eclipsed 2000 gwei briefly and was between 1500 and 1700 gwei for about an hour.

As markets crashed, DeFi liquidation opportunities popped up in every corner, giving way to gas wars amongst liquidators and arbitrageurs.
4/ BTC inflow to exchanges exceeded 20,000 coins in just an hour today. This is the highest daily and hourly inflow since Black Thursday.

While this isn’t a certain signal of a bottom, it’s a sign of capitulation and shaking out “weak hands.”
5/ Next up, our tweets of the day!

@Zapper_fi raises $15 million in Series A funding.

6/ The bright side of high collateralization ratios.

7/ The potential impact of EIP 1559.

8/ When there are crazy days like today, don’t miss a beat and stay up to date!

0/ In today’s Delphi Daily, we look at @0xPolygon’s continued growth, DeFi tokens leading recent relief rally, and @uniswap v2 vs. v3 capital efficiency.

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ Binance Smart Chain is experiencing capital outflow as Polygon’s TVL swells to $15 billion.

Price performance for both tokens is tracking capital flows, with $BNB experiencing a downturn and $MATIC flying.
2/ The Asia and Europe sessions caused a market bounce, with blue chips like $AAVE, $SNX, and $SUSHI leading the market.

Despite the US session opening with a sell off, these DeFi coins are still up over the past 2 days.

0/ In today’s Delphi Daily, we examined $BTC’s open interest and how BTC options can predict upcoming volatility.

We also examined @DeribitExchange’s 2021 futures flash crash. 👇

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ A barrage of put buying ensued over the weekend as BTC closed the week down 20%.

Puts for the Dec. 2021 expiry have been the biggest hit amongst insurance buyers. Image
2/ @DeribitExchange’s Dec. 2021 futures witnessed a flash crash earlier today.

Given heavy put buying on the Dec. 2021 expiry, it’s likely that the futures crash was caused by market makers who sold puts hedged their positions by shorting the Dec. 2021 futures contract. Image

0/ Today we looked at YFI’s current run to ATH, @Uniswap’s highest single day of volume, and the amount of $ETH in smart contracts continues to rise. 👇

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ Following months of choppy price action, YFI hit an all-time high, surpassing $90,000 at one point.

$YFI is now leading the current DeFi Rally.

This rally was further propelled by @iearnfinance embracing the dog coin phase. Image
2/ A week after Uniswap v3 launch, Uniswap v2 recorded $3.6 billion in daily volume. This marks the highest volume in any single day.

Dog coins are the primary catalyst for higher Uniswap volumes. Image

0/ Beware the Ides of March: A roman history lesson or a historical lookback at $BTC price?

Normally a volatile time of year for #Bitcoin and thus far 2021 has been no exception. Here's what to expect going forward. 👇
delphidigital.io/reports/beware…
1/ #Bitcoin started off 2021 with its best performance since 2013, nearly doubling over the first seven weeks of the calendar year (+98%).

Even after the end of February sell off, $BTC recorded its 5th consecutive month of gains.
2/ As we have covered before, $BTC price tends to struggle between mid February and late March. #Bitcoin price corrected ~21% over last week of February.

Thus far, BTC seems to be following a similar playbook in 2021.
