**Bitcoin Nears $100K Amid Options Expiry and ETF Inflows**

Bitcoin is on a steady path toward the $100,000 mark, despite concerns over a recent $2.7 billion options expiry. On Nov. 22, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $99,523 before settling at $97,805. Analysts, like Blake Player from VALR, suggest that the options expiry won't significantly impact Bitcoin's rally due to reduced market leverage.

Adding to the optimism, stablecoin flows to exchanges hit a record $9.7 billion, and spot Bitcoin ETFs saw over $1 billion in inflows. Experts predict Bitcoin could surpass $100,000 by month's end, though timing remains uncertain.
