How the Crypto Market will React
This week’s expiry is larger than last week’s event, when a notable bitcoin options expiry saw about $2.1 billion worth of BTC contracts settle. During that expiry, Bitcoin’s price moved by around 2%, showing only a limited short-term impact.
Historically, expiries of this size can slightly influence short-term price moves, but markets often stabilize once positions are settled.
Now, with Bitcoin trading near $66,891 and Ethereum around $1,985, the market could see short bursts of volatility again as open interest unwinds.
