According to @AltcoinDaily, traders can monitor near-term market reactions in BTC and ETH via U.S.-regulated derivatives proxies, focusing on CME futures open interest, futures-spot basis, and U.S. session volume for signs of shifting liquidity and risk appetite.

According to @AltcoinDaily, headline sensitivity tied to CFTC leadership may concentrate flows in large-cap assets (BTC, ETH) and majors with active derivatives activity, so risk management around U.S. hours is prudent until market pricing stabilizes.
