Matrixport reported on November 25th that BlackRock recently launched Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) options, and the market has shown a strong response with increased trading volume and open interest. This indicates that investors are becoming more optimistic about Bitcoin’s future growth. The report focuses on analyzing data related to options expiring in December, and it has been observed that implied volatility is currently near 65% and continuing to trend downward.
Previously, Bitcoin experienced a rapid rise from $70,000 to $98,000 due to market sentiment after Trump’s election, but gains have slowed recently. In the future, Bitcoin prices may follow a smoother upward trend, which could further reduce implied volatility. Lower implied volatility is good news for traders as it means that Bitcoin call options become less expensive, allowing investors to open positions at lower prices and potentially expand their positions.
Additionally, the increasing demand for options trading and large-value transactions could also contribute to the continued rise in Bitcoin prices.
