Buyback Monthly Summary

Feb 2025 Summary

In February 2025, the cryptocurrency market faced significant challenges due to macroeconomic factors, broader financial market conditions, and specific events impacting the sector. Persistent inflation concerns in the U.S. prompted fears of tighter monetary policies, leading to dampened investor sentiment and negatively affecting crypto valuations. The U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to maintain high interest rates strengthened the dollar and reduced the appeal of riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.

Additionally, the Bybit exchange suffered a major security breach, resulting in substantial asset losses and triggering widespread panic and forced liquidations across the platform.

This incident exacerbated market volatility and led to a sharp decline in confidence among crypto investors. Regulatory shifts in the U.S. offered some relief by easing enforcement actions against crypto firms, signaling a more industry-friendly stance.

However, this positive impact was largely overshadowed by the combined effects of global equities' decline, rising trade tensions, and the fear of stagflation, leading to a defensive posture among investors and a significant drop in crypto prices by month's end.

Nov 2024 Summary

In Nov 2024, The 2024 U.S. presidential election has featured cryptocurrency as a prominent issue, especially among Republican candidates. Donald Trump has emerged as a strong advocate for crypto, making multiple promises aimed at reshaping the industry's regulatory and operational landscape:

1. Creating a Crypto Advisory Council: Trump has pledged to form a presidential council that includes pro-crypto regulators to draft new rules within his first 100 days in office.

2. Ending “Operation Choke Point 2.0”: He criticized federal policies that hinder banks from working with crypto companies and promised a more favorable regulatory environment.

3. Establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Trump proposed using Bitcoin as part of a national reserve, framing it as a strategy to bolster the U.S.'s position in global crypto leadership.

4. Opposition to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC): He has strongly opposed the development of a U.S. CBDC, citing concerns about privacy and government overreach.

5. Supporting Domestic Bitcoin Mining: Trump expressed interest in making the U.S. a hub for Bitcoin mining, aligning with his broader “America First” policies.

6. Firing SEC Chair Gary Gensler: He vowed to replace the SEC leadership with individuals more sympathetic to the crypto industry.

7. Advocating for Self-Custody Rights: Trump promised to protect the right of crypto users to hold their assets independently, reinforcing the principle of “not your keys, not your coins”.

Trump's campaign has energized parts of the crypto community, especially amid frustration over perceived regulatory hostility under the Biden administration. However, his proposals, such as firing the SEC chair or establishing a Bitcoin reserve, may face significant legal and logistical challenges if implemented.

Not Just Trump

The 2024 U.S. elections resulted in a historic shift toward cryptocurrency-friendly representation in Congress, with over 270 pro-crypto candidates elected.

This includes 257 representatives in the House and 18 senators, creating what has been described as the “most pro-crypto Congress ever.” Support for digital assets played a significant role in the campaigns, with crypto advocacy groups like Stand With Crypto and the Fairshake SuperPAC contributing significant funds to candidates who favor blockchain innovation and reduced regulatory hurdles for cryptocurrencies.

Voter enthusiasm for crypto-related policies was driven partly by dissatisfaction with the perceived anti-crypto stances of officials like Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Many pro-crypto candidates pledged to create clearer, more favorable regulations to encourage innovation and investment in digital assets.

The newly elected Congress is expected to influence U.S. cryptocurrency policy significantly, potentially paving the way for advancements in blockchain technology and decentralized finance while addressing issues like consumer protection and fraud prevention.

Market Trends

The 2024 U.S. elections had a significant positive impact on the cryptocurrency market, with major tokens experiencing strong rallies as pro-crypto candidates gained a majority in Congress and Donald Trump, a vocal crypto advocate, was elected president. Here's a summary of performance gains across key cryptocurrencies:

1. Polygon (POL): The standout performer, Polygon surged by 84.2%, reflecting optimism over its ecosystem's scalability and anticipated regulatory support.

2. Uniswap (UNI): UNI saw a 67.9% rise, likely due to expectations for decentralized finance (DeFi) frameworks gaining clarity and institutional adoption.

3. Ethereum (ETH): ETH grew by 48.1%, bolstered by hopes for further integration of smart contracts and decentralized applications in a favorable regulatory climate.

4. Solana (SOL): SOL increased by 41.2%, buoyed by its fast transaction speeds and growing developer adoption.

5. NeuyAI (NEUY): NEUY advanced by 40.3%, reflecting confidence in AI-powered blockchain solutions and the broader AI-crypto narrative.

Unlike Ethereum, Polygon, and Uniswap—still climbing back toward their historical peaks—NeuyAI's early recovery demonstrated strong community support and strategic advancements in its ecosystem. This positioned it as a leader in the market's rebound phase.

Market Trends

Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin remained steady through October, fluctuating around $62,000-$68,500. Analysts forecast a continued upward trajectory, possibly pushing Bitcoin above $100,000 by year's end, with U.S. election just around the corner expect a lot more volatility.

Sept 2024 Summary

In September 2024, the crypto market faced another month of significant turbulence, with the month starting off with the worst market week of the year. Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies experienced sharp declines, driven by a combination of factors including weak economic data, declining equity markets, and uncertainty surrounding U.S. monetary policy. Ethereum, Solana and Polygon also struggled, influenced by muted performance from U.S. spot ETFs and substantial outflows from the market

By mid-September, Bitcoin entered what analysts referred to as the “anxiety stage,” marked by investor unease as prices hovered near key support levels. Historical data also pointed to September as a traditionally challenging month for Bitcoin, with the potential for further declines. Despite the downtrend, some analysts remained cautiously optimistic about a potential breakout later in the year, as technical indicators hinted at a possible recovery

Starting in September 2024, miners paused their selling activity for the first time since October 2023 having sold approx. 45,000 bitcoin in that period, reflecting a shift in strategy. This halt in sales could suggest miners are either anticipating future price increases or trying to preserve their reserves after months of consistent selling.

Aug 2024 Summary

August Market Overview

In August 2024, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant turbulence and mixed performance across various assets. The month was marked by sharp declines, recovery attempts, and heightened volatility influenced by both macroeconomic factors and internal market dynamics.

1. Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin struggled with significant price fluctuations, testing critical support levels around $50,000 and facing substantial outflows, which marked its first weekly net outflow in five weeks. Despite these challenges, there were signs of potential recovery towards the end of the month, with Bitcoin attempting to stabilize above the $55,000 mark

2. Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum also faced significant challenges, particularly with its spot ETFs, which saw considerable outflows in contrast to the more successful Bitcoin ETFs. ETH has been struggling around the $2,500 level.

3. Solana (SOL): This drop was part of a broader trend in the altcoin market, where Solana, despite its strong fundamentals and growing ecosystem, struggled to maintain its value. Market volatility and external economic pressures contributed to this downturn, reflecting investor caution and the overall market sentiment.

4. Polygon (MATIC): MATIC experienced a significant decline, with its value decreasing by -15.4% yet resisting the weight of Ethereum broader ecosystem declines. Polygon faced challenges similar to those of other altcoins, including concerns over network scalability and competitive pressures from other Layer 2 solutions. The market's risk-off sentiment and broader crypto market turbulence further exacerbated the decline in MATIC's value.

The overall market sentiment was influenced by broader economic factors, including U.S. Federal Reserve policies and global financial instability, which contributed to market dips. However, there were bright spots, such as the continued rise in stablecoin market capitalization and advancements in blockchain technologies like AI integrations

In summary, August 2024 was a challenging month for all cryptocurrencies, with ETH and SOL underperforming compared to MATIC, BTC and NEUY. BTC showed relative resilience, while ETH, SOL, MATIC and NEUY experienced more substantial declines.

July 2024 Summary

July Market Overview

In July 2024, the cryptocurrency market experienced notable fluctuations influenced by several key events and trends:

1. Bitcoin and Major Altcoins: Bitcoin's price remained above the $50,000 mark, but concerns arose due to a potential bearish pattern suggesting a possible drop to $45,000. The market was impacted by the anticipation of Bitcoin's halving event in April 2024 and the broader regulatory environment. Ethereum also saw significant attention due to spot ETF approvals, contributing to market volatility.

2. Regulatory Developments: The month was marked by regulatory actions, particularly in the United States, where the SEC's enforcement actions against major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase caused initial market shocks. However, a legal victory for Ripple Labs regarding its XRP token provided a positive counterbalance, with XRP's value surging by 75% following the ruling.

3. NFT and DeFi Markets: The NFT market continued to decline, with trading volumes dropping significantly. Investors showed a growing preference for real-world assets (RWA) and AI tokens over traditional NFTs. In the DeFi sector, total value locked (TVL) experienced a decline, although some projects like Bitcoin layer-2 networks saw substantial gains.

Overall, the crypto market in July 2024 was characterized by regulatory pressures, volatile price movements, and evolving investor interests towards new asset classes and institutional products.

July NEUY, BTC, MATIC, ETH Trends

In July 2024, the performance of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC) and NeuyAI (NEUY) showcased diverse trends:

1. Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin experienced a modest increase of 2.7%. Despite some regulatory concerns and market volatility, BTC managed to maintain a positive trajectory, benefiting from institutional interest and ongoing developments in the cryptocurrency sector.

2. Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum saw a decline of 6.2% in its price. This drop was influenced by market volatility and regulatory pressures, although the launch of Ethereum ETFs provided some optimism towards the end of the month.

3. Polygon (MATIC): MATIC saw a big sudden decline of 11.2% in its price although the SEC backs down on claims MATIC token is a security in Binance lawsuit.

4. NeuyAI (NEUY): NEUY's price increased by 1.5%, indicating a stable but cautious performance. While not as strong as Bitcoin's growth, NEUY managed to hold its ground amidst the broader market movements.

Overall, Bitcoin showed resilience and modest gains, Ethereum and Polygon faced significant dips, while NEUY had a slight positive movement in July 2024.

$BTC : 2.7%
$NEUY : 1.5%
$ETH : -6.2%
$MATIC : -11.2%

Automated Buybacks: Plus $6000/200,000
Average Daily Volume: $22,000 (-36% from previous month)

Despite the expected decline in average daily volume for July, which is typically a quieter month, the daily volume never dropped below $10,000, unlike in June. However, July did not reach the peak volume levels seen in June. Additionally, the broader market's significant pullback activated buffer USDC pools, which helped reduce price impact on NEUY but also contributed to lower overall volume.
