Our weekly crypto derivatives analytics report delves into macro events; the current state of crypto and trading signals from spot trading volume; and futures, options and perpetual contracts.

At the start of the week, Bitcoin showed signs of decoupling from US equities. However, US president Trump's positive remarks about the US-China trade war (which had included a 145% tariff on Chinese goods) triggered a relief rally across markets. As a result, BTC has resumed moving up with US equities. 

This rally has led to a rise in short-tenor implied volatility and a recovery in BTC’s put-call skew, indicating that traders are seeking upside exposure.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Perp open interest rises across the board

Perpetual open interest increased significantly this week across various tokens, especially ETH. Perpetual trading volumes also rose. Notably, Ap 7, 2025 recorded the highest trade volume of the month, following Trump's comment, "Forget markets for a second, we have all the advantages."

BTC option open interest shows a mixed picture; put-call skew in short tenor sends positive signals

President Trump’s recent willingness to negotiate a trade deal with China’s President Xi triggered a relief rally across asset classes, including crypto. Bitcoin had already risen 7% since Apr 21, 2025, prior to Trump's comments. Despite this rally, open interest in puts has outpaced calls, with options volume remaining relatively balanced. 

It's unclear if the demand for puts reflects a hedge against downside risks, or a bet against the upward movement. Meanwhile, perpetual funding rates are providing limited insight into sentiment. However, the recovery of the put-call skew at short tenors indicates that traders are seeking upside exposure to the rally — and are willing to pay for it.

ETH unexpectedly outperforms BTC in this relief rally

ETH's response to the recent crypto market recovery has diverged from previous trends: it outperformed BTC in spot prices, a rarity in past rallies, and open interest in calls exceeds that in puts — opposite to BTC's trend. In addition, ETH call open interest is nearly double that of puts, with calls dominating options volumes. This suggests traders anticipate ETH will reduce its significant underperformance against both BTC and other “ETH killers” like SUI and SOL. Additionally, the spot rally has led to another term structure inversion for ETH.

Highlights: What to expect at Bybit (Apr 28–May 2, 2025)

Balance (EPT) is revolutionizing web3 gaming with evolving AI companions, blending blockchain, strategy, and intelligent gameplay in one powerful platform.

Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are a key growth area within the blockchain industry. Projects like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), 

 (AI16Z) and countless others have been essential components driving the overall crypto market. As of April 2025, the CoinGecko portal lists more than 500 cryptocurrencies within its category of AI Agents. These intelligent assistants are now helping individuals and businesses analyze markets, create textual and visual content, automate work processes and trade profitably.

There's a further area where AI agents on the blockchain are flourishing: the world of 

 gaming. In this sphere, bots and agents based on AI algorithms are helping users develop the best in-game strategies, succeed in the competitive world of play-to-earn (P2E) and overcome key challenges in complex gameplay.

Balance (EPT) is a blockchain gaming project that takes the use of 

 to a completely new level. The creation of the team at the world’s largest social gaming platform, E-Pal, Balance offers players AI agents that can aid them in the in-game environment and serve as their personal companions. Based on a multi-layer architecture, the platform offers some of the most cutting-edge use cases for gaming-oriented AI agents.

 (EPT) is a web3 gaming platform that allows players to easily create, own and use AI companions within the blockchain games it supports.

 Balance supports a variety of first-party (internally developed) and third-party web3 games. You can deploy your AI gaming companions and they’ll act as your assistants, friends or co-players within Balance games.

Using Balance.fun, the platform’s primary web interface, you can create your AI agents and specify various details, such as appearance, personality and functions.

Balance isn’t just another obscure crypto gaming platform. The origins of the project date back to 2020, when the E-Pal social gaming provider was launched by four young California-based technology entrepreneurs — Brian Xiong, Tung Pham, Yuzhe Norris Wang and Yuanzhe Li. E-Pal quickly became a leading force in the newly emerging social gaming field, helping players worldwide find gaming companions. By early 2024, E-Pal had become the world’s largest gaming companion platform, boasting 4.2 million users and 450,000 Epals (gaming companions).

In February 2024, the E-Pal team focused its efforts on 

 and AI technologies, starting the development work on the Balance gaming platform. In September of the same year, Balance went live.

Per the project’s documentation, the platform operates on its own chain, Balance Chain, with 

 (AA) technology used for cross-chain communication. The fungible and 

 (NFTs) held by user accounts are based on the 

A key part of the Balance ecosystem is Key Nodes — purchasable 

 that help with the processing, storage and distribution of data required in the resource-intensive environment of web3 gaming. Some applied instances are the management of real-time leaderboards and the automatic distribution of loot and in-game currency. These nodes can also support the computational requirements of training AI models. As a reward for their work in supporting the platform’s operations, Key Nodes receive a wide range of rewards and benefits, including distributions of EPT tokens, the platform’s native cryptocurrency.

As the ecosystem develops, Key Nodes are envisioned to be involved in governance, 

 launch in September 2024, Balance introduced its Points System, designed to reward early contributors to the platform. During the campaign run in September, users could earn points by completing various specified tasks in various activities, such as joining the project’s social media pages or commenting and reposting.

The 400 users with the best performance in the Points System earned a whitelist spot to receive Pioneer Badge NFTs — distinct tokens that provide owners with early access to games, future campaigns, airdrops and beta testing opportunities. Pioneer Badge NFT holders can also enjoy other benefits, such as premium NFTs and voting rights on the Balance platform.

Balance’s platform provides a set of tools to create and use intelligent companions for Balance-based games. You can design your AI companions by specifying their key traits and behaviors through custom prompts and strategies. The AI agents on Balance can assist you in battles, gaming contests, learning, routine task execution and interactive entertainment.

Balance’s platform is made up of five key layers, each one serving a specific purpose in supporting its user and developer communities. At the top of the architectural stack is the application layer, which acts as the main interface for users to interact with human and AI companions and the wider Balance community.

The application layer also contains the AI Battle Reporting System, which is designed to give users feedback and analysis tools on their performance in the platform’s gaming ecosystem. AI technology is leveraged here to provide personalized analytics and performance improvement recommendations.

A range of NFTs are also part of the layer. These include in-game asset NFTs, as well as 

 (SBTs) that serve as summaries of the holder’s achievements.

The platform layer hosts the various games within the Balance gaming universe. These include both internal games and third-party games that have partnered with Balance. The key concept uniting all of the games is the active integration of AI companions and AI players, making the platform a unique environment in which humans and AI agents play, interact and compete.

The platform layer also features an AI-driven NFT launchpad that offers a rich tool set for creating personalized NFTs for games and applications. These NFTs can be traded on Balance's NFT marketplace, which is also an integral part of the platform layer.

The protocol layer includes a trio of critical protocols — the Fans Protocol, Epal Fan Token (FT) Exchange Protocol and Asset Protocol. The Fans Protocol lets players launch and manage their Fan Tokens, creating opportunities for influencers and community builders to tokenize their efforts and launch high-potential crypto assets. Meanwhile, the Epal FT Exchange Protocol facilitates the management of (and trade in) Fan Tokens.

The third protocol, Asset, is used for the comprehensive management of a wide range of digital assets on Balance, providing easy-to-use tools for asset creation and trading.

The token layer is designed for core operations involving the platform’s native EPT token. This layer supports the use of EPT for in-game purchases, access to services and AI companions, Fan Token minting and trading, in addition to other functionalities.

This is the underlying infrastructural layer that powers the platform’s operational mechanism. It can be described as Balance's operating system, and is made up of several critical components: the node system, the Balance 

, the Balance Chain network and the platform's unique ID system.

The node system provides the computational and storage resources to power games and other functionality on Balance. In addition, the system acts as a key connecting medium between Balance Chain and the AA functionality that lets the platform enjoy cross-chain capabilities.

The Balance stablecoin, also part of the infra layer, is designed to reduce volatility and bring rate stability to the platform's gaming ecosystem. The Balance stablecoin system helps players engage in asset trading without the fear of wild market fluctuations, an important consideration in the 

Designed to support multiple chains, Balance Chain operates based on dynamic protocol adaptation, automatically selecting the optimal blockchain platform according to user preferences and needs. This dynamic adaptability is designed to reduce costs, improve operational speed and enhance overall security for users.

The final major component of the Balance infrastructure layer, the Balance ID system, is a unified and secure user authentication and identity management solution. To be introduced later in 2025, the ID system will let users access all services and games within the Balance ecosystem via a single set of cross-platform decentralized credentials. In addition to human players, also AI companions will have their unique IDs.

EPT is the native cryptocurrency of Balance. Although the platform has been operational since 2024, the EPT token was just launched on Apr 21, 2025, with a total and maximum supply of 10 billion. It was issued on two major blockchains — Ethereum and BNB Chain. EPT has a wide range of functional use cases on the platform, including the following:

The EPT token's supply allocation is per the chart below.

 as a swap pair with USDT, and through the exchange's 

 based on USDT. You can also take advantage of Bybit’s campaign dedicated to the token to grab a share of the 

Under the terms of the event, new users can earn EPT rewards by accumulating a deposit volume of at least 3,000 EPT, or by depositing at least 100 USDT and trading 100 USDT worth of EPT via their first spot trade with Bybit. Meanwhile, existing users can qualify for rewards by trading at least 500 USDT worth of EPT on Spot. The event is valid through May 5, 2025, 9AM UTC.

As of Apr 25, 2025, the EPT token has been on the market for only four days, and is trading at $0.0117, which is 26.4% lower than its ATH of $0.01708 on Apr 21, 2025, and 11.4% higher than its ATL of $0.01129 on Apr 22, 2025.

Long-term price forecasts for EPT are mostly bullish. DigitalCoinPrice 

 of $0.0412 in 2027 and $0.0615 in 2030, whilePricePrediction 

These and other emerging long-term forecasts for the token don't constitute investment advice. Given EPT's extremely short history on the market so far, 

 on the token's future prospects, carefully assess market fluctuations within the crypto gaming niche and consider all other relevant factors before investing in it or any other cryptocurrency.

Capturing emerging market trends and sensing the broader market conditions, the team at E-Pal recognized the tremendous potential of gaming companions back in 2020. Four years later, E-Pal realized that the new market dynamics in gaming called for something even more innovative — the use of AI companions, in addition to fellow humans. The resulting product, the Balance platform, is now racing to stake the claim to the best web3 gaming environment supported by AI agents.

The platform's unique features — cross-chain functionality supported by an AA mechanism, a dynamic exchange system that selects the best network for users' transactions and, most importantly, intelligent AI companions — can certainly help establish Balance as a leader in this niche of web3 gaming.

AI agents are taking the gaming industry by storm, with blockchain technology acting as a powerful enabler of these intelligent friends of ours. The Balance gaming universe — supported by the proven track record of E-Pal — has a great chance of becoming the go-to environment in which to befriend your next artificial gaming partner.

The basic economic principle of buying assets at a low price and selling them at a higher price is easy to understand. However, adopting the principle in practice can be more challenging. It requires you to consistently monitor the market and act promptly when the price reaches the desired level. 

 have been in use to some degree for several hundred years to facilitate trading gains, but they’ve only been used for trading in financial markets for a few decades. Now, futures grid trading bots are taking the use of futures contracts to the next level.

Futures grid trading bots are automated systems that regulate futures trading activities based on a grid trading strategy, in which a set of orders is placed both above and below a specific reference market price for the asset. Specifically, this strategy automatically executes trades that the investor has preplanned, based on the established parameters.

Many investors have emotional ties to money. Their investment decisions may be swayed by greed, regret and/or other strong emotions. Even an investor who has a solid strategy in mind can be deterred due to these emotions. Futures trading is rooted in leverage, so even a subtle shift in the price of the commodity can dramatically impact the investor’s available capital. By automating transactions, trading bots help investors separate their emotions from their strategies and activities.

Futures grid trading bots can be used to trade in rising, falling, flat or sideways markets, depending on the mode or strategy used. 

Long futures trading can produce a profit when the price remains flat or rises; the trading bot will create a buy position for a portion or all of the invested funds. It will then incrementally close the investor’s position by placing grid orders. 

Short futures trading yields profits if the price remains flat or declines. The trading bot will create a sell order for some or all of the invested funds. Grid orders will be executed incrementally. The process of automated trading for both long and short futures can be repeated by the grid bot.

Depending on the settings and features of your selected futures grid trading bot, you may set the trading leverage. This enables you to potentially optimize gains. However, leveraging futures can also yield losses. You can mitigate your exposure to risk and loss by carefully researching and selecting your commodities.

Benefits of Using Futures Grid Trading Bots

It isn’t necessary to use futures grid trading bots to capitalize on futures trading. The process can be completed manually at your discretion. However, once you learn about the important benefits provided by futures grid trading bots, you may understand why many savvy investors choose to use them.

Emotionally-driven investment decisions can dramatically reduce the profitability of your activities. For example, due to fear, some investors may hesitate to act on a great opportunity that they’ve identified. Others may make poor decisions to buy or sell that are based on greed. Futures grid trading bots are automated according to your predetermined settings. By using them, you’re assured that your thoughtful trading plan will be executed as intended, without susceptibility to emotion.

Many aspects of futures trading are tedious and repetitive. For example, to profit from market volatility, you need to run numbers to determine the limit for each order, and then manually place the order. With a futures grid trading bot, however, the bot will quickly run all calculations, monitor the market and place orders. By doing so, it removes an investor’s fatigue or boredom from the equation to optimize profits. Futures grid trading bots are designed to be easy to use and customizable so that your trading strategy can be effectively implemented.

The cryptocurrency market is open around the clock, every day of the year. Constant monitoring is required to identify and seize opportunities. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible for an investor to monitor the markets non-stop. Futures grid trading bots will work for you 24 hours a day to ensure that you don’t miss potentially lucrative opportunities.

With futures grid trading bots, you can trade with leverage, a feature that other types of bots don’t offer. Leverage allows you to borrow a multiplied amount of your investment, so you can open a much larger position. This gives you the opportunity to amplify your profits with a relatively small amount of capital. 

The futures grid trading bot that you use can impact your trading experience in several ways. For example, it can affect your ability to leverage your trades. It may also limit your trading activities to specific assets. Let’s look at some of the most popular futures grid trading bots.

This platform currently supports the customization of more than 150 templates, and more will be added soon. Twelve exchanges are supported. In addition, the amount of leverage depends upon the pairings.

Are Futures Grid Trading Bots Worth Trying?

While trading can be highly lucrative, it comes with several risks and challenges. For example, it requires traders to constantly keep an eye on the markets, and crypto markets (unlike traditional  financial markets) are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Calculations must constantly be made. In addition, emotions can pull traders away from their strategies. 

Futures grid trading bots can be customized to automatically execute your trading strategy. They monitor the market and act automatically, based on the predetermined triggers that are in place. In this way, they eliminate emotion from the equation. They also obviate the need to constantly monitor markets and make complicated calculations.

While it’s clear that futures grid trading bots are beneficial, the specific features of bots can vary, and will impact these benefits. Bybit is widely regarded as the best overall platform for both beginning and experienced traders. It has an easy-to-use interface on both its mobile app and desktop platform. With everything from spot grid trading and 20x leverage, to three trading modes, automated alerts and more, Bybit is a platform worth trying. Furthermore, if you ever face any issues, you can always rely on Bybit’s 24/7 live customer support for assistance.

Automated trading using futures grid trading bots offers extensive benefits. While all trading activities come with risks, trading bots reduce the risks — and could yield greater profits.
