Crypto Liquidity Monitor
Tracking whether macro liquidity is reaching BTC, ETH, SOL, alts, and crypto beta.
Macro-to-Crypto Transmission
Liquidity can exist in the system, but it only becomes bullish for crypto when it passes through the gates and reaches Crypto Beta.
Stablecoin Liquidity
Stablecoin supply measures dry powder. Stablecoin dominance measures whether that dry powder is staying defensive or rotating into crypto risk.
BTC / ETH / Alt Rotation
Rotation is the key question: liquidity may reach BTC first, but high-beta crypto needs ETH/BTC and TOTAL3 confirmation.
Funding, Borrowing & Yield APY
Funding and futures interest are converted from 8h rates into compounded APY. APY assumes the current 8h rate persists for a full year and compounds every funding period; it is not guaranteed yield.
Crypto Bias Playbook
| Regime | Conditions | Crypto Read |
|---|---|---|
| Defensive | Stables rising, Risk Gate restricted, BTC dominance rising | Stay cautious; liquidity not fully deployed |
| BTC-Led | BTC dominance rising, ETH/BTC weak or flat | Liquidity reaching BTC first |
| Risk-On | ETH/BTC rising, stablecoin dominance falling, funding manageable | Broader crypto risk appetite improving |
| High-Beta Risk-On | TOTAL3 rising, ETH/BTC firm, leverage not overheated | Alts / memes receiving liquidity |
| Overheated | Funding and OI hot | Upside can continue, but flush risk is elevated |
| Risk-Off | Stablecoin supply falling, dominance defensive, BTC/ETH weak | Liquidity hiding or leaving crypto risk |
Risk-Off Current read: Risk-Off. Stablecoin signal is Drain; rotation signal is Mixed; leverage heat is Neutral.
