$4.3 Billion Worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum Options Expire Today Over $4.3 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire today. For Bitcoin, the notional value of the expiring options is $3.5 billion. Meanwhile, Ethereum options account for approximately $806 million. These expiration levels often act as magnets for price movements, meaning traders might witness sharp volatility in the short term. Analysts warn that the size of the options expiring today is 1.2 times the entire cryptocurrency market, which could lead to a market crash and significant volatility in the coming days. For example: In March 2025, after a similar expiration date, Bitcoin crashed within two to three weeks. In June 2025, Bitcoin consolidated for a while before dropping below $100,000. Now, as traders increase leverage once again, the same pattern might repeat itself. #BTC
