      $3 Billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum Options Expire Amid Diverging Market Sentiments

      Approximately $3 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expired on the Deribit exchange, revealing contrasting market sentiments for the two leading cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin options, valued at around $2.53 billion, remained predominantly bullish, while Ethereum options, contributing between $406 million and $425 million, showed a shift towards bearish positions, indicated by an increase in put options.

      The put-to-call ratio for Bitcoin stood at 0.76, suggesting a greater number of bullish bets compared to bearish ones. In contrast, Ethereum's put-to-call ratio climbed to 0.89, reflecting a more defensive stance among traders. This shift towards puts in Ethereum followed a recent liquidation event that saw Bitcoin prices dip below $70,000, prompting increased demand for downside hedging.

      As the options expired, the market experienced a process known as gamma hedging, where dealers adjusted their positions by buying or selling the underlying assets. However, the immediate aftermath of this expiry was relatively stable, likely due to market stabilization following the earlier liquidation. Large-scale options expiries have become a common occurrence in the cryptocurrency market, with similar events recorded in December 2025 and January 2026, consistently involving notional values in the range of $2 billion to $3 billion.
