Bitcoin Faces Major Volatility as $7.25 billion Options Expire
Bitcoin is set for a meaningful price swing on April 25, as $7.25 billion in options are due to expire. This event could trigger major market movements, though the direction remains unclear.
Marin Kazmierczak, co-founder and COO of RedStone, notes that Bitcoin has shown resilience compared to conventional markets.âTomorrowâs expiry looks especially spicy, with the market undecided about its next move,â he said.
On April 25, 32.74k put contracts and 44.93k call contracts will expire. The market value of these contracts is $24.20 million for puts and $127.82 million for calls. The higher number of call contracts suggests a bullish outlook.
Kazmierczak believes smart money is preparing for volatility. âIf all contracts where exercised, their total value would be $7.25 billion,which could impact BTCâs price,â he explained. This makes it a crucial moment for both possibility seekers and cautious investors.
Despite potential volatility, the crypto ecosystem is maturing. This offers long-term investors a chance to capitalize on price swings and secure better entry points. âWhile we may face volatility, the fundamentals remain strong,â Kazmierczak added.
He also noted that crypto markets have remained steady compared to equities. Traditional markets have faced turbulence due to tariff concerns, while digital assets show less correlation with traditional financial turbulence.
