Efficient Frontier Market Making Weekly Report January 16th 2024

Efficient Frontier would like to bring more transparency to the SSV community while maintaining our competitive edge. We source our own data but we plan to give more information on where to reference our data. If there are any questions please do not hesitate.

After the ETFs approval last week, speculative positions are unwinding, the big question is; if money that has been sitting on the sidelines can outweigh the sellers.

  • SSV has been outperforming the market gains. SSV is currently 20+% up in the last 7 days whereas the crypto market has been relatively flat.
  • The SSV price gains are outpacing ETH ecosystem gains which are up 12.7%

A few notes to explain what you are seeing:
• “7d Avg Spread” is the average spread from the best performing spread market (Binance USDT pair).
• “4% Liquidity” is ±2% from midprice liquidity sitting in the books across all exchanges
• In the individual pairs, the “2% Liquidity” is ±1% from the midprice liquidity sitting in that individual pair
*The price movement and comparison can be referenced on CoinGecko under “How does the price performance of SSV Network compare against its peers?” https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ssv-network

  • There were huge inflows into Crypto last week but a lot of this was concentrated towards Bitcoin.
  • SSV Volumes have been very impressive, even more so that alt volumes have decreased.
  • SSV volumes have been relatively stable with a small drop off from last week but much more impressive than at the start of the year.
