< Back Deciphering Cryptocurrency Market Trends - Jun 2023 Delia Sabau July 01, 2023 Monthly Market Commentary [June 2023] Institutional Developments Fuel Market Sentiment Shift June ushered in a fresh era of optimism in market sentiment, propelled by significant institutional advancements such as BlackRock's spot Bitcoin (BTC) Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) application. The impending entry of institutional giants has assuaged risk-averse attitudes, catalyzing a total cryptocurrency market capitalization surge to $1.21 trillion in June, primarily driven by Bitcoin's stellar performance, which marked a +13.6% growth. In the wake of BlackRock's application, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust's (GBTC) discount to its underlying BTC holdings decreased to 37% from the previous 44%. Mirroring this move, Fidelity and Wisdom Tree have lodged their spot BTC ETF applications, with Invesco revisiting its application process. The impending entry of institutional giants has assuaged risk-averse attitudes, catalyzing a total cryptocurrency market capitalization surge to $1.21 trillion in June, primarily driven by Bitcoin's stellar performance. A New Era: Evolving Crypto Market Structures The crypto and digital asset product markets underwent significant transformations in June. A notable milestone was the successful inauguration of EDX Markets - a cryptocurrency exchange under the aegis of Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, and Citadel. This new exchange offers trading avenues for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) through a non-custodial structure. Even though direct access for retail investors remains elusive, EDX Markets has formed strategic partnerships with retail brokerages. Moreover, a surge in corporate interest in adopting blockchain technology and venturing into the expansive world of Web3 has been observed. A recent report by Coinbase reveals that 52% of Fortune 100 companies are actively engaging in blockchain-based initiatives, 75% of which target financial services. Although initial enthusiasm around 'Metaverse' projects seems to have ebbed due to the industry's cyclicality, an upward trend in corporate adoption of business use-cases incorporating NFTs across various sectors has been noted. Crypto Exchange Outflows: A Growing Trend The recent trend of net outflows of BTC and ETH from cryptocurrency exchanges remains consistent. The supply on exchanges has declined 10% for BTC and 4% for ETH year-to-date (YTD), whereas the number of non-custodial addresses with a balance greater than zero has experienced an increase of +11% and +10% for BTC and ETH respectively. This trend points to a growing propensity towards self-custody and accumulation of assets. A Close Eye on Regulatory Actions In the face of ongoing regulatory actions by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Binance.US has committed to retaining all US investors' funds domestically until the lawsuit concludes. The SEC has levied charges against Binance.US , alleging a mix-up of customer and exchange funds. Coinbase, on the other hand, is pushing back against SEC allegations concerning token securities on its platform, sticking to the premise of "innocent until proven guilty". Market Performance: A Glimmer of Hope? June exhibited a significant performance rebound, with BTC reporting a noteworthy surge of +13.6%, outperforming both ETH and altcoins. The CMBI 10 Index, which encompasses a diverse collection of the largest non-Bitcoin crypto assets, marked a slight decline of -4% month-on-month (MoM), while ETH posted a modest growth of +3.9%. The Market Value to Relative Value (MVRV), a key industry valuation metric, continued its upward trajectory by more than 12% for BTC and 4% for ETH.

< Back Deciphering Cryptocurrency Market Trends - September 2025 October 8th, 2025 Key Takeaways BTC pierced $117K and closed September green — a historically bullish setup for Q4. ETF tailwinds, institutional inflows, and easing macro conditions are creating fertile ground for a selective altcoin breakout. While retail remains cautious, data shows that early positioning, especially in long-biased alt strategies, offers asymmetric upside. Active capital rotation into ecosystems like Base, Hyperliquid, and Ethereum is reshaping fee dynamics and protocol dominance. Market Overview Despite macro noise and shutdown headlines, crypto closed September strong. BTC is firmly above $117K, with dominance nearing 58%. Historically, a green September has led to bullish Q4s—and with 97% odds of an October rate cut, liquidity appears supportive. That said, we may see a short-term dip (Oct 7–10) as markets reposition—a common liquidity grab that may set the stage for altcoin entries. Watch for BTC to hold dominance briefly on any dip, then rotate strength into majors and beta plays. This structure rewards managers who are both patient and tactical—leaning in when the setup favors asymmetric upside. Regulatory Developments October kicks off a wave of ETF launches—SOL, XRP, AVAX, SUI, and more—bringing new liquidity channels to altcoins. The SEC’s new generic listing standards simplify the ETF approval process, eliminating delays caused by case-by-case reviews. This opens the door for more issuers and assets to gain regulated exposure. Also notable: the SEC’s no-action letter allowing state-chartered trust companies to serve as qualified custodians for crypto. This reduces reliance on legacy banks and supports the growth of regulated digital asset strategies. SEC Actions The SEC’s tone remains cautious but constructive. Approvals are leaning toward streamlining rather than restriction. There’s also early discussion of allowing blockchain-based equity instruments to trade on crypto exchanges—signaling openness to deeper financial integration. The big shift? Institutions can now access crypto more securely and flexibly than ever—if they know where to look. That’s where actively managed strategies shine. Institutional Moves Public treasuries added 50,361 BTC (+5%) and 1.13M ETH (+26%) last month. SOL holdings among public firms exploded +2,000%, confirming growing institutional confidence in alt ecosystems. Maple Finance also scaled from $400M to $4B TVL YTD, and plans to launch syrupBTC —a yield-bearing BTC token. These are not retail-driven flows. Sophisticated allocators are deploying capital toward yield, composability, and protocols with real-world utility. Political Influence on Markets The U.S. government shutdown rattled traditional markets but crypto remained resilient. Investors are losing trust in U.S. fiscal stability—not just because of debt, but because of dysfunction. That’s pushing capital toward scarce, decentralized assets like BTC, SOL, and ETH—especially as inflation expectations rise and real rates drift lower. Policy uncertainty has made passive positioning riskier. Actively managed strategies that can pivot in real time are becoming more valuable in navigating volatility and macro dislocations. Macro and Global Liquidity The Fed delivered its first rate cut since December, with more expected. CPI remains elevated at 2.9% and PCE sits at 2.7%, while jobs data underwhelms. Weak labor, softening yields, and a falling DXY point to a more dovish backdrop. Gold is above $3.7K, oil is tame at $63, and stablecoin issuance is rising. Combined, this supports risk-on conditions—particularly in liquid, high-beta altcoins. Looking Ahead Expect continued BTC dominance until a confirmed breakout, followed by a strong altcoin rotation — led by majors like ETH and SOL, and seconded by ecosystem plays on Base, Hyperliquid, and emerging wallet layers. The divergence in fees vs DEX volumes highlights the need to focus on protocols that can monetize sustainably , not just grow usage. At CKC.Fund , we remain focused on long-biased, actively managed exposure across structurally advantaged altcoin ecosystems. Our approach benefits from early rotation signals, a thesis-driven portfolio, and high-conviction entries backed by macro, regulatory, and flow dynamics. If you’re seeking exposure that moves beyond headlines and positions ahead of the curve, we’re here to talk. – The CKC.Fund Team For more information or inquiries, please reach out to us at info@ckc.fund CKC.Fund – Offshore.

< Back The Digital Asset Decipher - May 2023 Delia Sabau- April 30, 2023 Monthly Market Commentary [May 2023] Unraveling the BTC and ETH Performance In the wake of an impressive Q1 rally where Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) soared by +70% and +55% respectively, May reflected a period of quietude with reduced trading volumes. BTC maintained a monthly range of $26,000–$30,000, while ETH hovered between $1,750–$2,000, reflecting a period of reduced price volatility and subdued trading activity. The daily BTC spot to BTC futures volumes plunged from 0.8 in mid-February to 0.2 by the end of May, marking a 12-month low. This reflects an industry shift in market liquidity, pivoting towards futures markets and hinting at the robustness of BTC price movements. BTC and ETH Correlation: A Declining Trend The 90-day correlation between BTC and ETH recorded a new year-to-date low, slumping to 84.3% after a high of 95.2% in the previous year. The disparity between the two major cryptocurrencies has become more noticeable since Ethereum's Shapella network upgrade on April 12th. This trend indicates an increasing level of independence between BTC and ETH, offering implications for diversification strategies and investment decisions in the expansive digital asset class. Bitcoin's Evolution Beyond a 'Store of Value' The Bitcoin ecosystem is signaling a departure from the pure 'store of value' narrative, reaching a record high transaction volume stimulated by market interest in Ordinal inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens. In December 2022, Bitcoin developer Casey Rodarmor introduced open-source software enabling users to "inscribe" designs onto sats (the smallest BTC unit), creating "Ordinals" or NFTs on the Bitcoin protocol. This innovation has extended Bitcoin's utility beyond peer-to-peer value transfers, indicating its potential to accommodate diverse digital assets and transactions. This adaptability not only reinforces Bitcoin's versatility but also extends its overall value proposition. This innovation has extended Bitcoin's utility beyond peer-to-peer value transfers, indicating its potential to accommodate diverse digital assets and transactions. This adaptability not only reinforces Bitcoin's versatility but also extends its overall value proposition. Record Bitcoin Transaction Volumes and their Implication On May 1st, the Bitcoin network witnessed a historic single-day transaction count, settling 685,711 transactions. This surge in transaction volume resulted in network congestion on May 7th. However, this elevated on-chain activity turned out to be beneficial for BTC miners. Although a large portion of miners' revenues originates from block rewards, the proportion of revenue from transaction fees rocketed from 2–4% to a high of 42%, stabilizing thereafter. This stabilization amidst high transaction volumes indicates the resilience of the Bitcoin ecosystem in the face of growing adoption. Despite the increase in on-chain activity, the number of daily active addresses fell to around 550K (IntoTheBlock data), a significant decline from the typical range of 800K–1M. This drop might be attributable to higher transaction fees dissuading users from conducting transactions. Ethereum's On-Chain Activity and Transaction Fees Like Bitcoin, the Ethereum blockchain also observed heightened on-chain activity, with transaction fees hitting a peak of ~$27 USD per transaction. The increased fees were partly attributed to the trading demand for PEPE, a popular memecoin. The primary news regarding Ethereum was related to the network's finality issues. 'Finality' refers to the point where a block's transactions are confirmed by a supermajority of validators (on Ethereum) or miners, becoming irreversible. Certain technical issues temporarily prevented the Ethereum network from finalizing blocks, but these were subsequently resolved. As a result, Ethereum is solidifying a stabilized version of its proof-of-stake iteration, paving the way for a more efficient and energy-conscious adoption of digital assets.

< Back Deciphering Cryptocurrency Market Trends - August 2025 September 5th, 2025 Key Takeaways Capital is rotating quietly from BTC into ETH and mid-cap altcoins. BTC dominance at 63% is a key level; a breakdown favors alts. Institutions are actively reshaping portfolios beyond just BTC. Macro uncertainty makes passive exposure less effective. Active altcoin strategies are positioned to capture emerging alpha. Market Overview The total crypto market cap now stands just shy of $4 trillion, with Bitcoin holding steady around $111,000. However, under the surface, a much more dynamic story is unfolding. Ethereum dominance has quietly climbed to over 13%, backed by nearly $20 billion in monthly inflows and whale rotations totaling more than $3 billion out of BTC. This capital movement is not just tactical—it’s directional. The ETH/BTC ratio and the altcoin market cap index (excluding BTC, ETH, and stables) show growing divergence, with ETH leading the way. Historically, these are the precursors to altcoin expansions. For allocators looking to outperform, standing still is no longer an option. Markets are rewarding proactive, cross-chain, cross-sector exposure. Regulatory Developments The regulatory tone continues to shift—less toward bans and more toward frameworks. A notable example this month is the Philippines’ proposed 10,000 BTC sovereign reserve strategy, which—while not a global needle-mover—signals increasing political comfort with crypto as a treasury asset. In parallel, several jurisdictions in Latin America and Southeast Asia are accelerating integration efforts. These structural moves, while subtle, favor token ecosystems with strong compliance rails and institutional alignment. This is fertile ground for funds capable of navigating multi-jurisdictional narratives. SEC Actions While there have been no major enforcement actions this month, the posture of the SEC continues to evolve. Most notably, VanEck’s JitoSOL ETF filing and the growing conversation around Ethereum spot ETFs reflect a shift in how token exposure is being normalized for regulated channels. This is meaningful. Tokens that would have been excluded from capital pools a year ago are now being actively considered by wealth platforms, family offices, and banks. For actively managed funds, this broadening of investability opens doors—not just for capital flow, but for strategic positioning ahead of increased retail and institutional access. Institutional Moves Institutional behavior tells the real story this month. Publicly held Bitcoin reserves are up four percent, but that number pales in comparison to Ethereum, which saw a 74 percent increase in holdings by public treasuries. The shift is deliberate. Entities like Fundstrat, Galaxy Digital, and Jump Trading are betting aggressively on ETH and Solana, while Layer-1 infrastructure and DeFi tokens such as LINK, AAVE, MNT, and HYPE are seeing renewed activity, backed by buyback programs and growing fee generation. The takeaway is clear: institutions are not just riding the market—they’re repositioning themselves for what’s next. Passive exposure is no longer the institutional default. Political Influence on Markets Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole underscored a growing tension in US monetary policy. The Fed is balancing persistent inflation, driven in part by tariffs and labor supply constraints, against a weakening employment backdrop. With job growth slowing and core CPI rising, markets remain unsure whether the Fed will cut rates in September. The policy language has shifted from certainty to flexibility. That uncertainty fuels volatility—and volatility rewards active capital. Political gridlock, election-year maneuvering, and global trade frictions all point to a market that will favor adaptive strategies over static allocations. Macro and Global Liquidity Growth and inflation are moving in tandem. Second-quarter GDP came in at 3.3%, while core inflation has ticked up month over month, with CPI now at 3.1% and PPI surging to 3.7%. The Volatility Index (VIX) remains low, and margin debt is building as traders front-run what many expect will be a September rate cut. If the Fed moves forward, risk-on assets like equities and crypto are likely to rally into year-end. However, the path is data-dependent. Unemployment figures on September 5, CPI on the 11th, and PPI on the 10th will dictate how the Fed responds. In the meantime, liquidity is moving—not exiting. We’re seeing clear signs of capital rotation from short-term debt into long-duration risk assets. That shift alone favors nimble crypto allocations over index-weighted strategies. Looking Ahead September could mark an inflection point. If markets pull back slightly ahead of a Fed rate cut, the post-cut environment may deliver strong performance for altcoins with embedded incentives and token sinks. Hyperliquid’s continued growth, Kamino’s yield multipliers, and token-specific developments across AAVE, LINK, and HYPE suggest the market is not just about narratives anymore—it’s about mechanisms. As public interest lags behind institutional conviction, the opportunity for actively managed altcoin funds to outperform becomes even more pronounced. At CKC.Fund , we are focused on strategies that harness this edge—tactically, across chains, and with a discipline few can match. If you’re seeking exposure that moves beyond headlines and positions ahead of the curve, we’re here to talk. – The CKC.Fund Team For more information or inquiries, please reach out to us at info@ckc.fund CKC.Fund – Offshore.

< Back Deciphering Cryptocurrency Market Trends - June 2025 July 7th, 2025 Key Takeaways Liquidity remains abundant even as the yield-curve steepens; that’s a likely intensifying tail-wind for high-beta alts . BTC option pricing has collapsed below S&P vol – CKC is already harvesting that mismatch. Regulatory fog is lifting (GENIUS, CLARITY, SEC rollback): the stable-coin & RWA rails we trade on are turning institutional-grade . Upcoming catalysts (SOL ETF 7/15, Crypto Week 7/14-18) could reprice the market in hours; active positioning is critical. Market Overview Rates & Liquidity: 10-yr sits at 4.25 %, Sept-cut odds ≈ 70 %. 600 B$ still parked in the Fed’s RRP— plenty of dry powder. Vol & Flows: BTC 60-day vol now below S&P; June ETF inflows: BTC + $4.6 B, ETH + $1.16 B . Stable-coins & Treasuries: $255 B float is a standing bid for short coupons—anchoring the front-end and funding on-chain yield. CKC angle: low implied vol lets us buy optionality on our highest-conviction alt positions at a discount, while the liquidity backdrop keeps exit lanes open. Regulatory Developments US: GENIUS stable-coin Act cleared the Senate; CLARITY bill moving in the House. Global: FCA to re-open crypto ETNs, HK stable-coin law live Aug 1. Mortgage twist: FHFA instructs Fannie & Freddie to model crypto collateral—yet another use-case that normalizes digital assets. Why CKC cares: clearer rules mean deeper books and tighter spreads on the niche alts we traffic in; our liquidity-tier screens now include U.S.-domiciled stables that will soon be bank-grade. SEC Actions Shelved the Custody, DeFi and ESG proposals; lifted the Ripple injunction. Impact: lower headline-risk discount on mid-cap tokens – CKC is already rotating into names that were previously “radioactive”. Institutional Moves Circle IPO ($1.2 B) and fresh corporate BTC treasuries validate the asset class. June BTC- & ETH-ETF demand proves the allocator bid is structural, not speculative. Robinhood 24/5 tokenised stocks in the EU, Kraken’s KRAK super-app live, banks hiring crypto desks. Mastercard now supports four stable-coins; BTC-reward cards from Gemini & Coinbase widen retail on-ramps. CKC edge: We use ETF flow tape to time basis trades and hedge directional alt exposure—alpha that passive holders simply miss. Political Influence on Markets The One Big Beautiful Bill ( OBBB ) adds $3 T to the deficit and a 1 % remittance tax: liquidity boost today, rate-vol tomorrow. Crypto Week (House votes 7/14-18): watch GENIUS & CLARITY floor action; any surprise amendment could swing stable-coin spreads we arbitrage. Macro and Global Liquidity China keeps exporting deflation and dumping Treasuries; Euro CPI back to 2 %. BoJ on hold, yen cheap; Norway mulls PoW freeze—hash power likely shifts to U.S. grids CKC already monitors Looking Ahead The next ninety days are stacked with binary headlines—Solana’s ETF verdict on 15 July , the House’s “Crypto Week” votes right after, a heavy Treasury refunding on 1 August , Jackson Hole in late August, the Ethereum Electra testnet, and a dot-plot refresh at the September FOMC. Our playbook is already tilted toward each of these switches: volatility inventory on SOL with pre-planned roll paths into ADA and DOGE; stable-coin liquidity sleeves that expand or contract the moment a bill clears the House floor; curve hedges ready for a weak refunding print; optionality that gaps higher if Powell blinks at Jackson Hole; and staking weight adjustments queued for Electra. In short, the risk units we believe will matter most are already on our radar—waiting for the market to flip them on. Capacity in these lanes is finite; we're already engaged with the risk units we believe will matter most once each switch is flipped. Many existing investors are adding capital ahead of July/August regulatory and fiscal milestones, with new investors looking to join as trading lanes heat up.

< Back The New Normal - Deploy or Depreciate Kade Almendinger- June 13, 2023 Mid-Monthly Thought Piece [June 2023] Shifting Paradigms: Engagement or Erosion? The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Cryptocurrency Capital Deployment in an Inflationary World: Embracing Cryptocurrency Investment In an era marked by persistent inflation and market volatility, capital deployment strategies are paramount for safeguarding your wealth. Without proper investment, inflation can devalue your savings at an annual rate of 2-10%, or even more. For instance, a 6% average annual inflation could dwindle $100 million into less than $50 million worth of purchasing power in just over a decade. The path to wealth preservation in this high inflation environment necessitates astute investment, and not just within traditional avenues. Achieving a 7% return on investment (ROI), commonly accepted as favorable, is no longer sufficient in countries where inflation rates outstrip these returns. In 2022, for example, a 7% ROI merely broke even with the inflation rates in France, Canada, Spain, and the U.S, which stood at 6.2%, 6.9%, 7.3%, and 7.7% respectively. Some countries experienced double-digit inflation, with 28 exceeding an alarming 20%. Here, $100 million uninvested could lose half its value in just four years, starkly revealing the importance of diversification and astute investment strategies. At CKC.Fund , we prioritize wealth preservation, and our clients - high-net-worth individuals, family offices, wealth funds, and savvy investors - share this view. With expectations for returns in the range of 10-30% or more, these clients look to alternative asset classes that offer portfolio diversification and significant upside potential. We firmly advocate for the inclusion of cryptocurrency as part of this alternative asset allocation. In a high inflation environment, savvy capital deployment is the only way to preserve your wealth. The CKC.Fund Investment Approach: Diversification, Risk Mitigation and Asymmetric Upside An actively managed crypto allocation, we believe, augments the probability of attaining returns that outstrip the overall investment market. While the potential upside of cryptocurrency is substantial, we prefer a more conservative approach than many of our competitors. Through diversification and risk-mitigation strategies, our goal is to generate yields that maintain a significant degree of crypto's high-upside potential while minimizing the inherent volatility within the space. The potential of alternative assets, including cryptocurrency, real estate, and fine art, to deliver significant returns even in stagnant market conditions, plays a critical role in closing the investment performance gap. Currently, over 32% of family offices already have exposure to cryptocurrency, indicating its acceptance at the institutional investment level. We anticipate a significant uptick in the number of high-net-worth individuals and family offices initiating crypto exposure by 2025. Crypto assets, by their nature, offer asymmetric upside and growth potential. At CKC.Fund , we blend the principles of value investing, typical of traditional finance, with the high-return potential of cryptocurrency. We appraise the investment potential of a project by evaluating its use cases, past market performance, and the tokenomics involved. Crypto Investment: Harnessing DeFi and Volatility Our investment strategies also exploit yield generation within the decentralized finance (DeFi) realm. We generate yield through staking or node hosting services, and by employing strategies such as DeFi lending, DeFi borrowing arbitrage, and automated market making. These strategies prove invaluable across all market conditions, particularly during bearish and sideways markets. We recognize the ability of the crypto market's volatility to be harnessed as a strength. During periods of sideways volatility, we actively trade to accumulate crypto. This involves selling during price downturns, rebuying at the bottom, and selling again when prices begin trending downward, thereby accumulating additional crypto. Cryptocurrency: A Multipurpose Hedge In the current banking industry crisis, which threatens to wipe out trillions of dollars in global equity, many investors turn to hard assets for portfolio rebalancing. Assets such as real estate, precious metals, bitcoin (BTC), and other select crypto assets have gained favor. CKC.Fund firmly believes in the importance of these assets, especially during bearish and uncertain periods. A small crypto allocation can act as a form of wealth preservation insurance against economic catastrophes, including hyperinflation, stagflation, currency collapses, and stock market crashes. While the recommended crypto allocation can vary based on several factors such as age, risk tolerance, and investing goals, we suggest a baseline minimum of 1-2% for even ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Crypto's Unique Attributes as a Global Alternative Asset While the correlation of crypto assets to global macroeconomic events is a contentious topic, at CKC.Fund , we believe crypto shows a lower correlation than other asset classes, backed by data. In terms of portfolio diversification, we consider cryptocurrency to play a crucial role within an alternative asset allocation. One of the major advantages of cryptocurrency as an alternative asset is its borderless nature, allowing global participation and avoiding location-specific issues that might affect assets such as real estate. Embracing Crypto Investment: The Forward-Looking Approach Crypto investment is no longer a fringe alternative asset class. At CKC.Fund , we encourage high-net-worth individuals to include it as part of their alternative asset allocation. We recommend that around 5% of an investor's portfolio should be invested in crypto, although this can depend on several factors. CKC.Fund is confident that cryptocurrency investment will become an increasingly important part of a well-diversified portfolio. As an early-stage alternative investment that has been overlooked until the late 2010s, this sector presents a tremendous opportunity for those willing to understand its value proposition and deploy their capital to leverage the high-return potential that this asset class offers.
