Adam, a researcher at Greeks.live, posted on the X platform that 21,000 BTC options expired today, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.83, a maximum pain point of $98,000, and a nominal value of $2.1 billion. 164,000 ETH options expired today, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.68, a maximum pain point of $3,700, and a nominal value of $640 million. This week's market is mainly adjusted. Unlike last week, Bitcoin has a smaller adjustment this week, while altcoins have a stronger adjustment. As Christmas and annual delivery are approaching, market makers have begun to adjust their positions. Recently, large call option transactions account for a high proportion, with an average daily share of more than 30%. In previous years, the trading enthusiasm in Europe and the United States has dropped significantly during Christmas. This year, the influence of US stocks on encryption has increased, and this phenomenon may be more obvious. The options market data in the past two weeks has shown that market makers are relatively cautious. The volatile market has led to a slight increase in the IV of major maturities. Options are very suitable for short-term speculation at this point in time. The main transactions this week are also short-term PVP, and the cost-effectiveness of buying options is still very high.

According to Odaily, BlackRock's U.S. Thematic and Active ETF Head, Jay Jacobs, emphasized the company's current focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum during the 'ETFs in Depth' conference. Jacobs noted that their exploration into these cryptocurrencies is just beginning, describing it as 'the tip of the iceberg.' He highlighted that only a small number of clients currently hold Bitcoin (IBIT) and Ethereum (ETHA) ETFs, which is why the company is concentrating on these areas rather than launching new altcoin ETFs. This strategic focus reflects BlackRock's cautious approach to expanding its cryptocurrency offerings, prioritizing the development and understanding of Bitcoin and Ethereum products. Jacobs' comments underscore the firm's commitment to these leading cryptocurrencies, suggesting that while the market for altcoin ETFs is not being ignored, it is not the immediate priority. This approach aligns with the broader industry trend of focusing on established digital assets with proven market demand and regulatory clarity.

According to PANews, a significant number of Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire today, with 21,000 BTC options and 164,000 ETH options reaching their expiration. The Put Call Ratio for Bitcoin stands at 0.83, with a maximum pain point of $98,000 and a nominal value of $2.1 billion. Meanwhile, Ethereum's Put Call Ratio is 0.68, with a maximum pain point of $3,700 and a nominal value of $640 million. This week, the market is primarily experiencing adjustments. Unlike the previous week, Bitcoin's adjustment range is smaller, while altcoins are seeing stronger adjustments. As the Christmas season and annual settlements approach, market makers are beginning to adjust their positions. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in the trading of large bullish options, with a daily average exceeding 30%. Historically, trading activity in Europe and the United States tends to decrease during the Christmas period. However, this year, the influence of U.S. stocks on the crypto market is expected to be more pronounced. Over the past two weeks, data from the options market has shown that market makers are exercising caution. The volatile market conditions have led to a slight increase in the implied volatility (IV) of major terms. Options are particularly suitable for short-term speculation at this point in time, with most transactions this week being short-term PVP (profit versus profit). The cost-effectiveness of buying options remains high, making it an attractive strategy for traders.

Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, said on social media, "Jay Jacobs, head of U.S. thematic and active ETFs at BlackRock, said at the "ETFs in Depth" conference: "We are just scratching the surface of our exploration of Bitcoin, especially Ethereum. Only a very small number of clients hold (IBIT and ETHA), so our current focus is on this rather than launching new altcoin ETFs."

People familiar with the matter said that Trump's advisers and officials in his newly formed Department of Government Efficiency asked him whether the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation could be abolished. Some of them said that the advisers also asked nominees who are being considered for related positions at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) whether the deposit insurance business could be incorporated into the Treasury Department. Although banking executives are optimistic that Trump will relax a series of regulations on capital buffers, consumer protection and industry consolidation reviews. But the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's deposit insurance business is seen as almost sacrosanct. Any move that even has the potential to undermine people's perception of deposit insurance could quickly set off a chain reaction in the banking industry and, during a crisis, could exacerbate customer panic.
