Data for Digital Assets

Daily Updates from FSInsightMay 24, 2022
  • Majors BTC and ETH are currently trading flat on the day at $29.3k and $1.9k, amidst soft openings on NDAQ and SPX (~1.5% down). SOL and AVAX are trading at their local tops last May, changing hands at $50 and $29, respectively. Fantom has retraced most of its gains from yesterday, hovering at $0.42 at writing. At this juncture, altcoins are largely tracking BTC, which has been trading between $29k and $31k range since cascading down from $38k (and wicking to $26k). While it is difficult to where bitcoin will head in the near term, the price action shows a lack of accumulation between $14k and $30k given bitcoin's volatile move up in late 2020.
  • FTX, the second-largest crypto derivatives exchange, is rumored to have started acquisition negotiations with a few brokerage startups. This development comes after FTX announced their 7.6% stake in Robinhood in April, and FTX USA's LedgerX acuiqisition back in 2021. As traditional financial institutions are regulated, their foray into the digital asset space is happening slowly but surely. On the other hand, crypto-first companies such as FTX can afford to acquire smaller FINRA-regulated players in the space, obtaining market data and features that they can then integrate natively onto their platform. This dynamic, from our observations, creates an unfair advantage for crypto-first firms to offer a comprehensive suite of investment products.
  • Yesterday afternoon, Coinbase became the first cryptocurrency company to join the Fortune 500, a ranking of the largest U.S. companies by revenue. Posting revenues of over $7.4b and Adj. EBITDA of $4b in 2021, Coinbase is currently trading at attractive '21 multiples relative to its non-crypto peers (such as $HOOD). Additionally, the firm announced the integration of BNB and Avalanche assets to their in-app 'decentralized exchange', offering thousands of tokens that are unavailable through their centralized trading platform (173 currently offered). The valuations imply that market is placing a discount on Coinbase's trading revenues for 2022 and beyond, which is plausible if the bear market persists. However, the fact that crypto exchanges can start offering traditional products by acquiring smaller incumbents mitigates this. 
Daily Technical Strategy - Mark Newton, CMT

Solana has largely traded flat over the last couple weeks, in a trend that's been followed by quite a few Coins that have broken some of the recent positive correlation with the Equity market. The spike low on 5/12 was interesting in that SOLUSD bottomed right near an exact 61.8% Fibonacci alternative retracement to the initial pullback from last November when measured from April peaks. This level at $35.30 should be strong support if this is tested in the days/weeks ahead, and would constitute an attractive risk/reward area to consider buying dips. At present, momentum and price trends remain strongly negative over the last month, yet the recent stabilization over the last couple weeks is interesting given Solana's ability to hold up during an ongoing risk asset selloff. Technically this recent relative strength coupled with the degree of negative sentiment should mean that lows are growing near for SOLUSD and for Cryptocurrencies as a whole. While the high to low range is wide, one should keep a close eye on resistance levels near $60 and support at $35 as being important in the weeks ahead.
