Odaily Planet Daily News According to data tracked by The Block, despite the uncertainty shrouding the traditional banking industry, Bitcoin options trading volume has reached its highest point since October 2021, with Bitcoin options trading volume this week at US$7.94 billion. Anand Gomes, co-founder of institutional liquidity provider Paradigm, said the market is "pricing in loose monetary conditions" because "the Fed can't raise interest rates anymore." Laura Vidiella, vice president of LedgerPrime, believes that the reason is more about volatility. Vidiella said: "High volatility and high trading volume are often very related, especially for liquid assets. This is why Paradigm's trading volume hit a record high this week, with a single-day trading volume of more than US$1 billion." (TheBlock)
