【Galaxy expects that Bitcoin options trading activity will remain active until January 2027, which is around the midpoint of Trump's presidency】Golden Finance reports that the Galaxy Digital trading team indicates that BlackRock's IBIT ETF options have significant trading volume in the U.S. stock market, with a first-day trading volume reaching 353,716 contracts. This compares to the previous most active first-day trading for an options product, which was when Facebook options launched in 2012, with a volume of 360,000 contracts. Galaxy expects this active options trading activity to continue until January 2027, approximately halfway through Donald Trump's presidency. This concentrated level of long-term activity reflects investors' confidence in the long-term growth potential of Bitcoin ETFs, signaling bullish sentiment in the coming years. Galaxy added that currently, offshore cryptocurrency native platforms like Binance and Deribit have been the main markets for Bitcoin derivatives trading, but there is a significant volatility premium between Deribit, CME, and IBIT, which may provide arbitrage opportunities between different platforms offering derivative trading.
