Episode 5: Volatility, On-Chain Signals & Derivatives with Amberdata's Greg Magadini
In this episode, Amberdata’s Director of Derivatives, Greg Magadini, breaks down today’s volatility, on-chain trends, and the new shape of crypto derivatives. Greg shares his path from traditional markets to crypto, the rise of Genesis Volatility, and how the Amberdata acquisition pushed the space forward.
We dig into the recent market drop, what it says about the next cycle, and how BTC halvings, ETFs, and macro flows: including the growing pull between AI and crypto, are driving sentiment.
Greg also explains why IBIT options trade rich, how on-chain options are evolving, and what DeFi still needs to reach real scale. Plus, audience questions on what’s missing for mass adoption, how on-chain venues compete, and the data edge needed to match top CEXs.
A clean, clear look at where crypto market structure is heading next.
