Analysis
SOL PnL
• Win Rate: 47.2%
• Net PnL: -$7.44M
• Gross PnL: -$2.31M
SOL trading saw a win rate of 47.2%. Net PnL dropped to -$7.44M, while gross PnL also took a hit at -$2.31M. Despite high total open interest at $1.43B, traders struggled to stay profitable this week, likely due to deteriorated market conditions.
SOL Competitiveness with Binance
• All-in Trading Fees: Binance continues to offer lower fees than Jupiter for all trade sizes, from $400K to $2.5M.
• Long Funding/Borrow Rates: Jupiter’s borrow rates remain significantly higher (35%-40%) than Binance’s (<10%), making Binance more attractive for traders holding long positions.
BTC PnL
• Win Rate: 44.6%
• Net PnL: -$1.40M
• Gross PnL: -$363.22K
BTC traders had a win rate of 44.6%, and while net PnL saw some improvement, bringing losses to -$1.40M, gross PnL was still negative at -$363.22K. BTC traders continue to struggle with profitability, although the situation shows signs of stabilizing.
BTC Competitiveness with Binance
• No major changes in BTC competitiveness compared to Binance. Binance still offers superior liquidity and lower slippage, especially for large trades.
ETH PnL
• Win Rate: 43.8%
• Net PnL: -$261.22K
• Gross PnL: +$8.49K
ETH trading remains challenging, with a win rate of 43.8%. Net PnL was down to -$261.22K, while gross PnL barely made it positive at $8.49K. This suggests that, while trading volumes remained decent, profitability remains difficult for most ETH traders.
ETH Competitiveness with Binance
• Jupiter remains competitive for larger ETH trades, but Binance continues to dominate in terms of lower fees and better all-in costs, particularly for small trades and longer holding periods.
JLP Price vs. Index
• Price Performance: JLP continues to track closely with its index, maintaining stability in the market.
• Sharpe Ratio: The Sharpe ratio remains higher for JLP compared to its index, showcasing strong risk-adjusted returns for liquidity providers.
