While the bullish expectation for the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) continues for 2025, today, as every week, the expiration date of option contracts in the crypto market has come.
This deadline falls on the first Friday of 2025.
According to information provided by Greeks.live, a Singapore-based crypto options data platform, 20,000 Bitcoin and 206,000 Ethereum options contracts will expire on January 3 on the Deribit derivatives exchange.
According to these data, the Put/Call Ratio of BTC options is 0.69, the maximum loss point is $97,000 and the notional value is $1.93 billion.
On the Ethereum side, ETH options have a Put/Call ratio of 0.81, a maximum loss point of $3,400, and a notional value of $710 million.
“Today marks the first weekly delivery of options for 2025, with a total of $2.6 billion worth of options expiring. The market is generally buoyant as European and American clients slowly begin to return from their vacations,” experts say.
Analysts say the market is generally optimistic about 2025, but the US stock markets have recently created uncertainty and it is highly likely that the FED will not cut interest rates at this month's interest rate meeting. It is stated that this situation may have a negative impact on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the short term.
Finally, analysts predict a rise in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general in 2025.
