According to TechFlow, on September 3, Lin Chen, head of Asia Pacific business at Deribit, disclosed a large Ethereum options transaction on the social platform. An investor bought 7,125 ETH $5,000 call options at the end of 2024 and sold $6,000 call options at the end of March 2025, earning a net premium of $245,000.

This operation shows that investors are optimistic that ETH will break through $5,000 by the end of the year, but it is not expected to exceed $6,000 before the end of March next year. Lin Chen said that this transaction accurately bet on time and price, reflecting the market's optimistic expectations for the performance of cryptocurrencies in November and during the Chinese New Year.
