Bitcoin and Ethereum options worth 3 billion dollars expire today

A massive expiration shakes up the cryptocurrency markets this Friday. Almost 3 billion dollars in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expire on Deribit at 8:00 UTC. Traders remain nervous after last week's sell-off.

In short

Today, options worth 3.000 billion dollars expire on Deribit.

Put options dominate, a sign of strong demand for protection.

Bitcoin is trading around $66,372, far from the maximum pain point of $74,000.

A deadline closely watched by the markets

The expiration of cryptocurrency options is always a crucial moment. This Friday, 3 billion dollars in options will expire at 8:00 UTC on Deribit, the world's leading cryptocurrency derivatives platform, recently acquired by Coinbase.

In the case of Bitcoin, theoretical open interest exceeds 2.530 billion dollars, with a maximum critical point around $74,000. Ethereum, for its part, shows an open interest of 425 million dollars, with a maximum critical point around $2,100.

These "maximum pain" levels indicate the prices at which the maximum number of options would expire worthless, generating the largest losses for holders. Therefore, a significant portion of open positions would benefit from a rally towards these thresholds. However, the market remains cautious.

At the time of writing this article, Bitcoin is trading around $66,000, well below its critical point. Ether is around $1,950, also down.

This setup is generating palpable tension in the markets. Will traders attempt to push prices towards these strategic levels before expiration? Or will caution prevail?

🚀 $3 billion options expiration: The calm before the storm, or the beginning of a reversal?
Today at UTC 08:00, nearly $3 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options on Deribit are set to expire. The market is currently at a critical crossroads: is this a buildup for a new round of gains, or a rehearsal for a deep correction?📉
Core data overview:
🔹 Bitcoin (BTC): The current price is fluctuating in the $66,000 – $67,000 range. Notably, BTC's 'maximum pain' point is at $74,000. Typically, prices gravitate towards the pain point, but the current market sentiment seems to suggest otherwise.
🔹 Ethereum (ETH): Open interest is concentrated around $1,950, with the maximum pain point around $2,100.
Bear market sentiment prevailing? 🐻
Analysts point out that the demand for put options is extremely high:
BTC put option trading volume has surpassed $1 billion (accounting for 37% of total trading volume). Most bearish bets are concentrated in the $60,000 – $65,000 range.
What does this mean for us?
After BTC fell below $70,000 triggering massive liquidations, the derivatives market has become very fragile. A large number of options are in an 'out of the money' state, indicating that the market may experience significant volatility after expiration.
There are two possibilities: either it triggers a 'short squeeze', with prices rebounding towards the maximum pain point; or shorts continue to apply pressure, and BTC tests the $60,000 support level again.
👉 What are your thoughts on this weekend's market? Can it hold $66,000, or will it move down to replenish liquidity? Feel free to share your views in the comments!👇

$BTC Deribit Targets US Expansion Amid Trump’s Crypto-Friendly Policies

Deribit, the world’s largest cryptocurrency options exchange with $1.3 trillion in trades last year, is considering entering the U.S. market, encouraged by President Donald Trump’s promise to make the country the global hub for digital assets like bitcoin, the FT reported.

The Dubai-based company joins firms like OKX and Nexo in targeting the US after Trump’s crypto-friendly policies, such as halting Securities and Exchange Commission cases and supporting bitcoin mining.

However, Deribit’s CEO Luuk Strijers cautioned that offering derivatives in the U.S. remains complex due to regulatory challenges.

Copy: In 2025, the amount of cryptocurrency merger and acquisition transactions skyrocketed to $8.6 billion, setting a new historical high! 🚀

According to the Financial Times, this year's merger and acquisition amount is nearly 4 times that of last year. After the Trump administration listed cryptocurrency as a "national priority," Wall Street and crypto giants are frantically dividing territory through mergers and acquisitions.

💡 XXYY.cc Core Review:
🔹 The Big Three Take Action:

Coinbase: $2.9 billion acquires the derivatives king Deribit (the largest merger in history).
Kraken: $1.5 billion swallows the futures platform NinjaTrader.
Ripple: $1.25 billion acquires Hidden Road.

🔹 Policy Driven: Regulatory shift, lawsuit withdrawal, national reserve initiation, compliance dividends make traditional funds no longer hesitate.

🔹 Year of Integration: Behind 267 transactions, the industry is transitioning from "scattered troops" to "compliant consortiums."

In 2026, as new regulations take effect, more banking giants will enter the scene. The "Warring States Period" of the crypto industry has ended, and the era of major infrastructure has officially begun!

Analysis of $ETH option expirations on #Deribit t September 19, 2025

Nominal value: $820 million

Max Pain (the price at which the total intrinsic value of options becomes zero) $4,500

Put/Call Ratio: 0.98 - neutral.

CALL maximum volume is in the range of $4,600–5,000
PUTs are concentrated in the range of $3,600–4,100.

This week, open interest rose by 5% due to an increase in call positions above $4,500.

Put positions decreased by 2% in the $3,800–4,200 strikes (profit-taking by bears).

The overall increase in OI calls indicates a short squeeze in the event of a sharp upward movement, while the decrease in OI puts indicates a reduction in hedging portfolios.

Conclusion: expiration on September 19 at 11:00 a.m. with a high probability of ETH in the range of $4,500 - 4,600.
Market makers will actively push the market into this price zone.
