VanEck's Head of Research, Matthew Sigel, recently shared insights on the X platform regarding the current state of the Bitcoin derivatives market. According to Odaily, Sigel noted that the demand for protective measures in this market has reached the 99th percentile, typically seen as a 'contrarian buy signal' during periods of extreme risk aversion. He suggests that the present market conditions are favorable for establishing long positions. Sigel also manages the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF (NODE), which has risen by 27% since its inception, while Bitcoin has declined by 33% in the same period. The ETF's strategy of diversified allocation and focus on profitable sectors has resulted in lower volatility. However, Sigel cautions that substantial capital expenditures in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector may exert significant pressure on the market if they fail to yield expected returns, particularly given the concentration of weight in S&P 500 constituent stocks.

The People's Court of Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, recently tried a criminal case involving the withdrawal of cash packages through virtual currency. The defendant, knowing the money was obtained through fraud, repeatedly withdrew a total of over 390,000 yuan in cash over seven days in areas without surveillance coverage. He then converted the funds into virtual currency and transferred it to his superior, profiting 21,500 yuan in the process. The court found him guilty of concealing and covering up the proceeds of crime and sentenced him to two years and four months in prison, a fine of 10,000 yuan, and ordered him to return the illegal gains. The judge warned that offline cash withdrawals have become a key step in laundering stolen funds from telecommunications fraud. "Cash withdrawal services" and "high-paying daily settlements" are often part of fraud chains. The public should be vigilant about receiving cash, transferring money, and assisting in the transfer of funds to avoid becoming accomplices to crime.

Matthew Sigel, Head of Research at VanEck, analyzed on the X platform that the current protective demand in the Bitcoin derivatives market has risen to the 99th percentile historically, which is generally seen as a "contrarian long signal" in an extremely risk-averse market, and he judged that the market is currently suitable for establishing long positions. Sigel also manages the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF (NODE), which has risen 27% since its inception, while Bitcoin has fallen 33% over the same period, achieving lower volatility through diversified allocation and focusing on profitable sectors. However, he also warned that the huge capital expenditures by companies in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) could put substantial pressure on the market if they do not generate corresponding returns, especially given the heavy weighting of S&P 500 constituent stocks. Note: Percentile is a statistical position concept; the 99th percentile is a relatively extreme level, and the 50th percentile represents the median.
