<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-blackrock-s-ishares-bitcoin-trust-explodes">BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust Explodes</h2>   
<p>BlackRock’s IBIT has made history by becoming the first-ever spot Bitcoin ETF approved for options trading. The trading volume on its first day was staggering—$1.9 billion in notional exposure—setting a new record for Bitcoin ETFs.</p>   
<p>James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, shared that this milestone was achieved through 354,000 contracts, with 289,000 being calls and 65,000 puts. This resulted in a low put/call ratio of 0.225, indicating strong optimism in the market about Bitcoin’s future price movement.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst, <a href="https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1858994117617086840">Eric Balchuna, called the $1.9 billion </a>trading on IBIT’s first day “unheard of,” called the $1.9 billion traded on IBIT’s first day “unheard of,” especially when compared to BITO, which only saw $363 million in its first day despite being around for four years.</p>   
<p>Balchunas further explained that such massive volume shows strong bullish sentiment, with many betting Bitcoin’s price could double within a month.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-s-volatility-might-decrease">Bitcoin's Volatility Might Decrease</h2>   
<p>Bitcoin’s growing appeal among institutional investors is fueling more confidence in its future. Market expert Dennis Dick believes the rise in Bitcoin ETF options will help bring more stability to the market.</p>

 <p>"<em>As open interest rises, it creates natural buyers and sellers on both sides of the market. This thickens up the market, boosts liquidity, and reduces volatility."</em></p>
