Crypto QuickSnap
Optimistic rollup Optimism’s OP token has jumped 30% in the last 7 days on news that staking platform Lido Finance will expand into Layer 2s, starting with Optimism and Arbitrum. Meanwhile, Bella Protocol’s BEL token declined following bitcoin’s price drop on 21 July.
Market Analysis
Bitcoin moved between $21k and $24.5k this week, trading sideways to end below $23k on Sunday. In the derivatives market, BTC open interest increased by over $493 million as compared to the previous week. While aggregated funding rates remained positive overall, a sign of BTC buying strength, they dropped from 0.007 to 0.0002. This could be attributed to news of Musk’s Tesla selling off 75% of its bitcoin holdings over the second quarter of 2022, a move investors are struggling to make sense of. This week, around $292 million long positions and around $289 million short positions were liquidated.
