Bitcoin is heading into a major derivatives event on **Friday, August 28**, with roughly **81,700 BTC options worth $6.44 billion** set to expire on Deribit. ([crypto.news][1])
📊 **Key numbers:**
* 💰 **$6.44B** notional value
* 📑 **~81,700 BTC contracts**
* 📈 Calls: **~44,639**
* 📉 Puts: **~37,061**
* ⚖️ Put/call ratio: **0.83**
* 🎯 Major strike zones: **$75K and $80K**
* ⏰ Expiry: **08:00 UTC, Aug. 28**
**Market impact:** The expiry could increase short-term volatility as traders and market makers adjust hedges. With BTC near the **$78K–$80K zone**, the $80K level is likely to remain a key battleground. ([CryptoSlate][2])
🔥 **Bottom line:** $6.4B in options rolling off could trigger sharp moves—but the expiry itself does **not** guarantee a bullish or bearish direction.
