$ZEC climbed almost 11% while $PYTH gained around 10%, even as Bitcoin spent much of the day near $82k.
The moves came from different parts of the altcoin market, giving traders two active setups while larger assets remained relatively quiet.
Momentum traders could follow the continuation, while those expecting either rally to fade could position for a pullback.
Both perpetual markets are available on Aevo, giving traders a way to follow where the movement shifted without waiting for Bitcoin to choose a direction.
Onchain options across Aevo, $DRV and every other onchain options venue recorded 116.1% growth in notional volume during September compared with August.
Aevo’s options notional climbed 98.9% over the same period and nearly doubled within one month.
That growth reached 4 different markets that traders can access through Aevo options alongside perps.
Aevo launched as an options exchange in 2023 before adding perpetuals, so this is growth in the category the platform was originally built around.
Options came first here and September’s data shows they still shape $AEVO today 🔮
$ONDO and $ZEC keep trading through the weekend while equity and forex markets are closed.
That leaves two full days for crypto prices, positioning, and sentiment to change before traditional markets reopen.
By Monday, a setup that looked clear on Friday may require a different direction, position size, or level of risk.
Aevo brings crypto, equity, and forex perpetuals into the same portfolio, allowing traders to manage crypto positions through the weekend and respond across other markets when their sessions resume.
This keeps the trading account connected as different parts of the market open, close, and react to one another.
$HYPE and $SOL traders can share the same directional view and still choose different instruments based on how they expect the move to happen.
On Aevo, both markets can be traded through three structures.
• A standard perp follows price directly and carries funding and liquidation risk. • PERPS+ modifies the perp payoff at entry, while liquidation risk remains. • A bought call or put limits the maximum loss to its premium but needs the move before expiry.
All three sit inside the same Aevo account and collateral pool.
For traders, choosing the payoff before entry can matter as much as choosing the direction.
The growth of tokenized markets around $ONDO and $XLM has made traditional assets part of the onchain portfolio.
Elon Musk’s latest Roadster update returned Tesla to the center of the market conversation, giving traders another reason to reassess the stock.
TSLA perpetuals are live on Aevo, allowing traders to go long or short as the market responds.
That market also sits alongside Aevo’s RWA spot markets powered by Ondo, bringing tokenized spot assets and two-sided equity exposure into the same onchain portfolio.
The Roadster created the attention, but the next move in Tesla still belongs to the market.
The AI trade is usually expressed through tokens such as $TAO and $RENDER but compute prices can follow a different path.
On October 12, the H100 compute index settled at $2.92 per GPU-hour, gaining 10.2% in one day, while most large crypto assets traded lower the following session.
That divergence creates another market for traders to follow.
Aevo gives one account access to both sides of the AI economy.
Crypto can be traded through perpetuals and options, while the H100 perpetual lets traders go long or short the cost of renting NVIDIA H100 compute with up to 3x leverage.
Crypto and compute may not move together, but they can now sit inside the same trading portfolio.
$HYPE and $ZEC entered the weekend below recent highs as the broader crypto market tried to stabilize.
Bitcoin bounced from $80.4k back above $83k, while Ethereum and Solana remain down around 8% and 9% over the past seven days.
That leaves traders deciding whether the recovery continues into Monday or the bounce becomes another entry for the downside.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, HYPE, and ZEC are all Perp Majors on Aevo.
Eligible volume from trading either direction builds toward the 10m requirement for Aevo’s 808,800 USDC year-end reward, alongside an active COMMANDER or LEGEND stake.
The market move creates the setup, while each qualifying trade moves the account closer to December 🔮
Trades in $XRP and $SOL may close before year-end, but their qualifying volume remains on Aevo’s permanent leaderboard.
Each eligible trade across the weekly Perp Majors and all options markets builds toward the 10m cumulative volume requirement.
Volume is one part of qualification, while an active COMMANDER or LEGEND stake completes the account requirement.
The leaderboard keeps that progress visible while there is still time to build it naturally.
Our projected year-end distribution currently stands at 808,800 USDC, making October part of the qualification window even when the individual positions are already closed.
Rate expectations can move $NEAR and $HYPE alongside QQQ and USDJPY as traders reprice risk, growth, and the dollar, and those markets may respond differently, but the setups often come from the same macro development.
Aevo brings crypto, equity, and forex perpetuals into one account and collateral pool.
A trader can position across those reactions without dividing collateral between separate venues, while each position keeps its own funding and liquidation risk.
This gives macro traders a way to manage several expressions of the same market view through one portfolio.
One event can create several trades, and Aevo keeps their execution and collateral together.
$ZEC and $XMR have been outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum over the past 24 hours as privacy assets lead the current altcoin rotation.
For ZEC traders, the move creates a clear split between expecting further continuation and positioning for a pullback after the run.
The ZEC perpetual market on Aevo lets either view be traded long or short from the same account used for other crypto positions, and that matters when attention rotates quickly because capital does not need to move to another venue before the setup can be traded.
Whether momentum continues or fades, ZEC traders can position for either outcome while market attention remains concentrated.
The second rejection left Bitcoin holding higher, giving traders another possible attempt at the same level, and for traders who usually express directional views through $BTC or $ETH perps, the familiar trade may be another long.
But that same Bitcoin view can also be expressed by buying a call through Aevo’s Options Easy Mode.
Both trades position for further upside, but the risk works differently.
With the bought call, the premium paid is the maximum loss, and a wick cannot liquidate the position before the move arrives.
The trade-off is expiry because Bitcoin still needs to move far enough before the option runs out of time.
The growth of compute-linked assets such as $RENDER shows how DeFi traders are following markets beyond crypto alone.
A portfolio may now carry views across several market categories, but splitting those positions between venues also divides the collateral supporting them.
Aevo brings five perpetual market categories into one account and collateral pool:
