Velora, formerly known as Paraswap, has introduced a new governance proposal.

The proposal asserts that these changes will not affect the token supply, unlocking schedule, token distribution, or the transferability of VLR.

#RetailInvestors #USStocks #OptionsTrading #NetSelling #MarketVolatility #SP500 #OilPrices #BrentCrude #DefensiveTrading #InvestmentTrends
Retail investors have recently shifted to net selling of U.S. stocks and options, marking a rare departure from their long-standing buying trend. According to BlockBeats, Citadel Securities reported this change on April 7, noting a significant decrease in net spending in March, which fell 55% from February and 70% from January's peak.
The shift in options activity has moved towards a defensive stance, with increased demand for downside protection. Historically, such selling behavior by retail investors has often preceded a strong short-term rise in the S&P 500 index, with an average increase of 4.1% over two months.
This change comes amid market volatility driven by rising oil prices and tensions with Iran, which have contributed to a 5% decline in the S&P 500 index this year, while Brent crude prices have surged by 80%.#RetailInvestors #USStocks #OptionsTrading #NetSelling #MarketVolatility #SP500 #OilPrices #BrentCrude #DefensiveTrading #InvestmentTrends
🚀 OPEC Oil Production Sees Historic Decline Amid Middle East Conflict
#OPEC #OilProduction #MiddleEastConflict #ExportDisruption #OilDecline #StraitOfHormuz #Iraq #SaudiArabia #UAE #OilEmbargo #GlobalOilMarket #RedSea #OilSurvey #DanielYergin #ThePrize
OPEC's oil production experienced its largest decline in over four decades in March due to disruptions in exports from key member countries amid Middle East conflicts. According to Odaily, a survey revealed that OPEC's daily output plummeted by 7.56 million barrels, or approximately 25%, to 22 million barrels. This marks the most significant monthly drop since data compilation began in 1989, surpassing the 1973 Arab oil embargo in terms of barrel count.
Daniel Yergin's book, "The Prize," notes that during the 1973 crisis, the market faced a daily loss of 5 million barrels from October to December, although the global market was much smaller at that time. The survey indicated that Iraq, heavily reliant on the Strait of Hormuz, saw the largest production decrease among OPEC members, with a reduction of 2.76 million barrels per day to 1.63 million barrels. Saudi Arabia and the UAE followed, although they managed to partially reroute exports through alternative oil pipelines. Saudi Arabia's daily production fell by 2.07 million barrels to 8.36 million barrels, while the UAE's output decreased by 1.44 million barrels to 2.16 million barrels. Despite Saudi Arabia's ability to export via the Red Sea, tanker tracking data showed a roughly 50% decline in its exports in March.#OPEC #OilProduction #MiddleEastConflict #ExportDisruption #OilDecline #StraitOfHormuz #Iraq #SaudiArabia #UAE #OilEmbargo #GlobalOilMarket #RedSea #OilSurvey #DanielYergin #ThePrize
🚀 Charles Schwab Study Highlights Impact of Small Bitcoin and Ethereum Allocations
#Bitcoin #Ethereum #CryptoInvesting #PortfolioManagement #InvestmentRisk #Volatility #CharlesSchwab #RiskBudgeting #TraditionalPortfolioTheory #CryptoAllocation #BTC #ETH
A recent study by Charles Schwab reveals that even a small allocation of 1% to 3% in Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) can significantly affect the overall risk profile of an investment portfolio. According to ChainCatcher, the research indicates that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically experienced declines exceeding 70%, which is much higher than the volatility levels of stocks or bonds. As a result, even minor allocations can have a noticeable impact during periods of market fluctuation.
Charles Schwab suggests two methods for allocating crypto assets: the traditional portfolio theory approach and the risk budgeting method. The traditional approach involves allocation based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation. However, due to significant differences in return assumptions, even aggressive investors may find it challenging to justify large allocations if expected returns are below 10%. The risk budgeting method focuses on the level of risk an investor is willing to take, shifting the emphasis from returns to risk tolerance. Despite this, the volatility of crypto assets may still exceed expectations.
Charles Schwab emphasizes that crypto assets are highly volatile and may not be suitable for all investors. It advises investors to carefully consider their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and familiarity with the assets before making allocations. Additionally, investors should be mindful of risks related to liquidity, theft, and fraud.#Bitcoin #Ethereum #CryptoInvesting #PortfolioManagement #InvestmentRisk #Volatility #CharlesSchwab #RiskBudgeting #TraditionalPortfolioTheory #CryptoAllocation #BTC #ETH
