$15.6B in Bitcoin Options Set to Expire Friday on Deribit

Roughly $15.6 billion in Bitcoin options are due to expire on Friday, with Deribit’s strike-by-strike data showing an options book heavily stacked with calls. One price level is drawing hedging pressure from both sides of the market at once.

AI take

A call-heavy book into a large expiry matters less for the notional than for the concentration: when one strike draws hedging from both directions, dealers' delta adjustments can amplify moves rather than dampen them. That affects anyone with near-term exposure, not just the desks carrying the open interest. The open question is whether positioning unwinds quietly after expiry or whether the hedging around that level leaves a mark on spot.
