Bitcoin options OI rallies
Glassnode has spread the word about a massive increase in Bitcoin options open interest. This metric has spiked to an all-time high, reaching the $46.2 billion level. This signifies a rise by $25.8 billion from recent lows.

Glassnode explained that the big rise in this metric signifies that market participants are growing more sophisticated. Therefore, they require “more advanced hedging and strategy execution” for trading Bitcoin options.
