On May 1, the Central Bank of Brazil issued Resolution No. 561, prohibiting the use of virtual assets for settlements in regulated electronic foreign exchange (eFX) international payment and transfer services. The new regulation requires that payments or receipts between eFX service providers and foreign counterparties must be completed through foreign exchange transactions or non-resident Brazilian real accounts. This restriction also applies to eFX service providers that are in a transitional period and have not yet been approved. The rule does not impose a complete ban on cryptocurrency transfers in Brazil but excludes virtual assets and stablecoins from regulated eFX channels.

On May 1, data from Greeks.live indicated that a total of 23,000 BTC options are set to expire today, with a Put Call Ratio of 1.13 and a maximum pain point of $76,000, representing a nominal value of $1.74 billion. Additionally, 175,000 ETH options will also expire today, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.94, a maximum pain point of $2,325, and a nominal value of $400 million. Analyst Adam from Greeks.live noted that market fluctuations have been relatively small this week, with Bitcoin hovering around $78,000. Market sentiment is gradually stabilizing, and short-term realized volatility (RV) has significantly decreased. Coupled with the monthly settlement releasing nearly a quarter of the position margin, there has been a noticeable decline in implied volatility (IV) for major expiration options this week. Bitcoin's main expiration IV has dropped below 40%, while ETH's main expiration IV has decreased even more, with short-term IV falling below 50% and medium to long-term IVs also dropping below 60%. From the main options data, the skew remains relatively stable, indicating a slightly bearish directional sentiment in the market. Only 6% of options are expiring this week, with about 25% of positions held until the end of May and approximately 30% until the end of June. Block trades have been relatively inactive, signaling consolidation. In April, Bitcoin performed significantly better in both price and popularity compared to the previous three months, but the altcoin market has seen limited recovery. Currently, the focus is primarily on Bitcoin, and further developments in altcoins will require patience.

On May 1, around 14:45 Beijing time, the US dollar against the yen plunged by 130-150 points, falling back to near yesterday's low of 155.55, before rebounding slightly. Analyst Justin Low commented on the fluctuations in the yen's exchange rate, stating, "This makes sense. Essentially, the second round of action should be more effective, as those speculators who were trapped will now step aside. However, the fact that Japan feels it necessary to take a second round of action means they are likely willing to push prices below that level at all costs. The main question now is how long the Japanese Ministry of Finance can maintain this stance. Of course, they have ample reserves to draw upon. However, depleting these reserves just to prove a point to the market seems somewhat wasteful. As previously mentioned, every fundamental factor currently works against the yen, and policymakers are certainly aware of this. This is a moment of desperation, especially considering that the US-Iran conflict is still ongoing and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
