Analysis: Demand for Bitcoin Call Options Approaches $118,000

According to a report by Jinse Finance, data from SoSoValue shows that on Thursday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of approximately $281 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the gains. This comes after four consecutive days of outflows, with a rebound in capital observed on Wednesday. Timothy Misir, Head of Research at BRN, stated, “ETF inflows are temporarily recovering, providing structural support as short-term volatility eases.” The policy environment has also become clearer. President Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Labor and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to pave the way for digital assets in 401(k) retirement plans. He also signed a separate order aimed at curbing the “unfair debanking” of crypto-friendly companies, measures that could broaden mainstream access to regulated crypto products. Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple have agreed to drop their respective appeals, ending their legal dispute while upholding a previous court ruling that distinguishes between certain institutional sales and programmatic sales. This settlement is expected to resolve longstanding uncertainties surrounding Ripple and U.S. crypto policy on a broader scale. Misir noted that downside hedges remain in place, but demand for Bitcoin call options has rebounded to nearly $118,000, while demand for Ethereum call options has reached $4,000.
