How BTC CME Trade Strategy Influences Market Fluctuations

by Giorgi Kostiuk

9 months ago

The recent downturn in the cryptocurrency market has sparked various discussions about its causes. Increased ETF outflows and rapid BTC losses stand out as key issues.

Analysis of BTC CME Trade Strategy

Demand consistently rises during bull markets, leading to positive premiums in CME futures contracts. Previously observed in the GBTC sector, recent events have disrupted this winning strategy.

Bitcoin Basis Trade Strategy

This strategy involves earning profits from the discrepancy between Bitcoin's futures and spot prices. The key idea is that futures prices, such as three-month contracts on CME, must align with spot prices at expiration.

Current Market Conditions

During periods of high demand, basis yield surged into double-digit territories. However, the yield recently dropped to 4% on February 24, making the strategy less profitable compared to safer investment alternatives.

Initially, hedge funds locked in positive premiums for guaranteed profits. As returns decreased, interest in the strategy diminished, prompting sales in both spot and ETF markets.
