Odaily reported that 10x Research posted an analysis on X platform, stating that as Bitcoin's volatility continues to decline, the NAV premiums of most Bitcoin treasury companies have significantly compressed, with some even turning into substantial discounts, and related investor losses have begun to appear.
Historically, Grayscale's GBTC once saw a 47% discount in December 2022, when investors could almost buy Bitcoin through the product at an implied price of less than $10,000. The market had mistakenly viewed traditional financial crypto-asset packaged products as "Bitcoin leverage tools," but these structures are actually more akin to option products: implied value expands when volatility rises, and valuations are compressed when volatility declines.
However, 10x Research added that the current market mismatch could also open up new arbitrage opportunities for management teams with capital operation capabilities.
Odaily Odaily, analyst Madison Cartwright of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia noted in a research report that the prospects for US-Iran talks remain fragile. Cartwright stated: "There are reasons to suggest that a diplomatic momentum does exist, which could lead to an agreement that reopens shipping through the Strait of Hormuz," but relevant details remain unclear. Cartwright added that there have also been recent small-scale skirmishes between the two sides.
Cartwright pointed out that regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, several key questions remain, including the amount of insurance required for vessels transiting the strait and whether Iran will impose transit fees. Nevertheless, Cartwright believes the US currently has little incentive to resume hostilities; instead, the US has shown a willingness to make concessions while continuing to exert economic and political pressure.
