$1.81 Billion in BTC and ETH Options Set to Expire Amidst Bullish Sentiment
This Friday, September 25, 2026, the crypto market anticipates a significant liquidity event with the expiration of approximately $1.81 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options contracts. Current data suggests a strong bullish sentiment among derivatives traders, with a notable preference for call options over put options for both major cryptocurrencies.
For Bitcoin, the open interest put/call ratio stands at 0.66, and trading volume shows an even more aggressive stance at 0.37. Traders are focusing on strike prices of $90,000 and $100,000. Ethereum's put/call ratios are 0.61 (open interest) and 0.55 (volume), with activity concentrated between $3,000 and $4,000. This increased call option activity suggests traders are anticipating price increases, potentially leading to heightened volatility as the expiration deadline approaches.
