A quiet week after Bitcoin’s halving
1. USDT leveraged lending annual interest rate drops sharply

In leveraged trading, borrowers can increase their trading funds by borrowing certain assets (such as USDT) and use them to conduct larger transactions. This operation usually involves paying a certain amount of interest, which is the annual interest rate for leveraged lending.
However, when the USDT margin lending annual interest rate fell sharply, it meant that the market sentiment for margin trading was low. Lower interest rates indicate low demand for lending, which may be due to investors being cautious about market risks or declining interest in margin trading.
2. Implied volatility has dropped significantly

In the options market, implied volatility is a measure of the markets expectations of future asset price volatility. It is calculated from option prices and reflects the market participants expectations of future price fluctuations.
When implied volatility drops significantly, it means that option market participants have lower expectations of future asset price volatility. This may be because market participants are more cautious about the stability of the market or the expected level of volatility.
Both of the above situations show that investors are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the market this week, assessing risks more cautiously and choosing conservative trading strategies or reducing the volatility risk of trading strategies.
There are about 6 days left until the Federal Reserve interest rate meeting (2024.05.02)
