Cryptocurrency Aptos (APT) is up more than 400% since January 1, according to CoinDesk data. Over the 24-hour period, it has climbed more than 40 points to close to $18.30.

The rise outpaces Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), both of which are up more than 30% year-to-date.

market analysis

Derivatives market shows positive sentiment for Bitcoin. Currently, Bitcoin is in a “contango” situation where the futures price exceeds the spot price.

In traditional markets, contango is often a bearish sign because the price differential between futures and spot is based on the transportation and storage costs of the asset. On the other hand, with Bitcoin, where storage costs are largely irrelevant, contango could simply represent increased buying in the futures market and signal bullish sentiment.
