Presently,&nbsp; Ethereum is priced at $3,369.83, with a 30-day change of -13.7%, a 7-day change of -4.8%, and a 24-hour change of -0.1%. Its 24-hour trading volume is $11,635,447,897. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-anticipated-crypto-market-impact-explained-nbsp">Anticipated Crypto Market Impact Explained&nbsp;</h2> 
The impending expiry represents over 40% of the current cumulative open interest of over $23 billion, potentially leading to increased market volatility. Large quarterly expires often result in unpredictable price movements due to higher trading volumes and the closing or rollover of positions. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 According to Derbit’s CEO, Luuk Strijers, “ As we approach Friday’s large quarterly expiry, potentially influenced by ‘quadruple witching’ and related volatility in U.S. stock markets, over 25% of Derbit open interest is set to expire in-the-money, equating to over $2.7 billion. The total notional size of the expiry is over $10 billion.” This indicates that a significant number of derivative contracts are expected to be profitable for their holders at expiration. 
</blockquote> 
In conclusion, with substantial Bitcoin and Ethereum options set to expire soon, cryptocurrency investors should brace for potential volatility in the crypto market. The outcomes of this event could have significant implications for further price movements and crypto trading strategies.
