Bitcoin Derivatives Market Shifts as Options Open Interest Nears Futures, Indicating Options-Driven Price Action

COINOTAG News notes that a Glassnode analysis published on October 22 reveals a pivot in the Bitcoin derivatives landscape. Options open interest is narrowing the gap with futures, signaling a shift toward structured, limited-risk and volatility-driven strategies. The report argues that options flows are becoming a more influential force on price action than outright futures liquidations.

Investors and liquidity providers may recalibrate risk models as shifts toward volatility strategies gain traction, recognizing that options-oriented activity can shape near-term momentum and funding dynamics. Analysts advise monitoring the evolving balance between options and futures markets to assess any implications for liquidity, risk premium, and price discovery.
