300,000 BTC options expire today, with a scale of $28.5 billion, setting a new record high
【Blockchain Rhythm】December 26th at 4:00 PM, the Bitcoin options market reaches a turning point. This expiration is unprecedented in scale — approximately 300,000 BTC options contracts are about to expire, with a notional value of up to $23.7 billion. Including Ethereum options, the total expiration scale today reaches $28.5 billion. What does this mean? It’s exactly double the amount from the same period last year.
Many analysts in the industry are paying close attention to this data. Their consensus is: this delivery is likely to amplify market volatility. It seems this is no joking matter.
There’s also an interesting phenomenon. Looking back at the records of those “epic” options deliveries over the years, the market often moves into a more definitive one-sided trend after the delivery, and the acceleration is quite significant. Will this cycle repeat this time? The market is watching.
The biggest delivery in history is happening today, volatility is about to explode. Honestly, this is the easiest time to get wrecked, everyone be careful.
Will the delivery lead to an epic market move? I bet two cigarettes it will happen.
Let's wait and see, this market is about to go haywire.
So Bitcoin is really about to dance, hold tight to your chips.

All-time high, whether this wave is going to crash or rally depends on how the whales play.
---
Double? Last year it wasn't as crazy as now, this year is definitely different.
---
Using options settlement to amplify volatility—how many times has this trick been played? Anyway, a big show is coming.
---
30,000 contracts settling at once... who is really gambling on what?
---
This is truly an epic settlement; those records from previous years have been broken. Is the market this competitive now?
---
Wow, 28.5 billion. This number makes me a bit nervous. Where is the promised stability?
---
I just want to see how high or low this wave can go, still hanging in the balance.
---
It's one of those days again—some are preparing to buy the dip, others to sell the top.
---
After settlement, accelerating a one-sided move? Then I might as well bet on the opposite side; after all, it's all gambling.
---
Historical data is here; after every "epic" event, it's the funeral of the bagholders.
---
Twice the scale, what does it indicate? More and more people are becoming greedy.
---
Still on the sidelines? I went short long ago; there are always lower points.
---
Increased volatility is actually good news for the bears.
---
Double the amount same period last year... sounds impressive, but the real test is when it drops.
---
Options settlement = a sign of "cutting leeks," this has never changed.
---
Sell on the rebound, patiently wait for the bottom; simple things are being complicated.
