Optimizing Risk-Adjusted Return in Constructing Portfolios of Alphas ➡ Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), developed by Harry Markowitz in the 1950s, is essential in investment management, providing a framework for optimizing the balance between risk and return through diversification. ➡ Alphas in statistical arbitrage refer to systematic trading signals that predict relative asset price movements. ➡ Constructing a portfolio of alphas involves combining multiple alphas to create a diversified and optimized strategy, reducing the risk associated with any single alpha and benefiting from internal trade crossing and position netting. ➡ Risk-adjusted return maximization measures investment efficiency by considering both return and risk. ➡ The empirical analysis, conducted using over 800 alphas in the Binance USDⓈ-M market, compares different weighting methodologies. Results show that strategies optimized for risk-adjusted returns outperform equal-weighted strategies, highlighting the importance of optimization in portfolio construction.

Crypto Derivatives Series I: Futures ➡ In Series I of the Crypto Derivatives research between Presto Research and Laevitas, we explore the world of futures, both term and perpetual. ➡ Futures allow traders to trade both sides of the market, long and short, with leverage. ➡ The introduction of futures into crypto was transformative for the overall market, and in particular, perpetual futures introduced by BitMEX in 2016, have taken over volumes, averaging over $90B/day across all exchanges since mid-2021. ➡ In 2024, despite BTC’s all-time-highs and excitement over the spot ETF, volumes on a price adjusted basis have not returned to what they once were. ➡ The CME on the other hand, which only offers term futures in BTC and ETH, have benefited from the recent narratives, becoming the #1 exchange in both term futures volumes and open interest, as well as a top 5 exchange in total derivatives volume.

How big will be the market for Ethereum spot ETFs? We predict $3.6 billion flow into newly listed Ethereum spot ETFs over the next 12 months. Here are key factors to consider 👇 1. How convincing is 'world computer' narrative to new money/old money investors? 2. Do they need a second crypto asset exposure? 3. Are they willing to forgo staking yield? Many analysts currently estimate that spot ETH ETFs will capture around 20% of the spot BTC ETF flow, equating to $7 billion annualized. We propose a more granular approach, examining Ethereum's attributes that justify a discount in the eyes of TradFi investors. We look into each question and add our assumption to develop our model.

Cross-chain bridges have greater risk than the bridge itself. Even if the bridge is secure, assets can still be stolen. Here's why👇 ➡ A cross-chain bridge is a technology that allows assets and data to be transferred between different blockchain networks, enabling interoperability among them. It usually works by locking assets on the source blockchain and minting equivalent tokens on the destination blockchain, or by using liquidity pools to facilitate immediate exchanges. ➡ However, because a cross-chain bridge comprises multiple components such as oracles and validators, it exposes several attack vectors to hackers. Numerous well-known bridge exploits through smart contract vulnerabilities (e.g., Wormhole, Qubit) and validator takeovers (e.g., Ronin) illustrate this risk. ➡ Even if there are no vulnerabilities in the bridge protocol, users can still have their funds stolen through Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) hijacking (i.e., exploiting the underlying network layer) if the bridge service’s network provider lacks proper authority over the IP address ranges.
