#BTC reached yet another all-time high today 📈 The digital asset market has been on a remarkable run, with Bitcoin hitting new record highs on ten different days this month. BTC is now trading just under $100,000, up an impressive 40% since the U.S. election. Trade volumes have surged alongside prices, reaching levels not seen since May 2021. It’s not just spot markets stealing the spotlight—derivatives activity has also taken off. Wall Street traders are diving into options on spot BTC ETFs, with the IBIT ETF options clocking $4B in notional volume in just two days. Meanwhile, crypto-native platforms like Deribit are thriving, setting new records for trade volume and open interest over the past week.

The first cross-asset crypto ESG #ETF is coming to the US 🇺🇲 Just one week after acquiring Vinter, a Kaiko company, we’re pleased to announce that the SEC has approved the 19b-4 filing for the 7RCC Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF. Vinter, as the benchmark provider for the fund, played a pivotal role in enabling its approval. This achievement highlights the strength of our combined expertise and reinforces Kaiko’s position as the leading market data and indices provider in the crypto space. Congratulations to 7RCC Global on this milestone! This approval marks a new chapter for sustainable crypto investments. Full story, here: https://lnkd.in/eyX7fsMh

We’re excited to announce that a new quant research paper, co-authored by Kaiko's Michaël Allouche and Emmanuel Gobet, alongside Stephane Girard, has been accepted for publication in the prestigious Machine/Deep Learning journal, Neural Networks! 💡 Why is risk management crucial in crypto? With the rise of regulatory requirements, such as those from the BIS, understanding and managing risk in the #cryptocurrency market is vital for determining the capital needed for solvency.  📊 How do we measure risk?   Metrics like Value at Risk (#VaR) and Expected Shortfall (#ES) are essential tools. While VaR estimates the minimum potential losses within a confidence interval, ES measures the average losses beyond that threshold.  🚩 What about extreme events? In regions with little to no data—where extreme losses can occur—traditional methods often fall short. This paper introduces a well-designed, cutting-edge #NeuralNetwork model, leveraging Extreme Value Theory, to estimate risk measures with greater precision and new theoretical guarantees. Tests on highly volatile crypto data demonstrate its superiority over existing methods.  Read the paper for free, here: https://lnkd.in/eM5f5Dbh

📈 Bitcoin soars to record highs following the US Election.   Bitcoin broke new ground for the first time in eight months yesterday as it set a new all-time high above $75.4k following news that Donald Trump was set to win the US Presidential election. Prices varied by exchange, according to Kaiko's VWAP data, with the highest prices being observed on LMAX Group Digital and Crypto.com. #BTC traded at $75,412 at around 6:24 am UTC on both exchanges.   Using Kaiko's tick trade data we can see why prices failed to rise as much on some exchanges, such as Kraken Digital Asset Exchange—where BTC never traded above $75.4k. Heavy selling activity on Kraken during the rally toward record highs led to more subdued prices, albeit still above the previous record highs of $73.5k set in March.
