On Derive’s Options Market, Institution Takes $25M Hedge Bet on BTC Price Action Spurred by U.S. Election

“This $25 million options trade marks a watershed moment for onchain options trading, and it’s one that could have significant implications post-election. The institution has strategically positioned a unique structure with sold puts, bought calls, and eBTC collateral, potentially standing to make $1,020,000 on the structure if BTC hits $80,000 by November 29 – excluding any gains from the eBTC collateral,” Nick Forster, co-founder of Derive told CoinDesk in an email.
