Native token ATOM of the Cosmos Network, a decentralized network of independent, scalable, and interoperable blockchains, has bounced 24% over the last 7 days, according to CoinMarketCap data. Several tokens affiliated with it have also rallied. While the Cosmos Network is redesigning its delegation strategy and it has announced upcoming integrations with Polkadot and the Ethereum Beacon chain after the Merge, there has been no clear reason attributed to the surge.
Market Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) traded sideways this week, spending the weekend in a tight trading range below $20K. In the derivatives market, ether derivatives volumes have surpassed bitcoin’s ahead of the Merge. ETH open interest ballooned to over $8.43 billion this week from under $4 billion in July. Aggregated funding rates remain negative, suggesting that short trades are still dominant as investors possibly expect that the Merge will face delays, or are hedging against their long spot ether positions. ETH liquidations this week are also double that of BTC’s - with over $277 million short positions and $230 million long positions, in comparison to $74 million shorts and $103 million longs.
