$5.8B in Bitcoin options to expire on September 27, volatility expected

Bitcoin options valued at $5.8 billion and Ether options worth $1.9 billion are set to expire on Sept. 27, according to Deribit. Luuk Strijers, CEO of Deribit, told CoinDesk that around 20% of the expiring Bitcoin options are profitable. He explained that this significant volume of expirations could increase market volatility or activity, as traders might close or adjust their positions, potentially leading to price swings.
