Bitcoin options worth $11 billion near expiry; will volatility rise?
An $11 billion bitcoin options expiry is approaching, drawing attention to potential short-term volatility. The expiry covers about 135,000 BTC and accounts for roughly one-third of open interest in Deribit’s bitcoin options. Calls outnumber puts, but about 86 percent of contracts are out of the money, limiting estimated settlement value. Traders also watch the max pain level. U.S. rate policy and yields are seen as additional variables.
