BlackRock’s IBIT options trading volume on the first day of listing was nearly US$1.9 billion, 82% of which were call options

BlockBeats news, on November 20, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst James Seyffart posted data on social media saying that the notional exposure of 354,000 contract transactions on the first day of listing of BlackRock IBIT options was slightly less than US$1.9 billion, of which 82% are call options (289,000 units) and 18% are put options (65,000 units), a ratio of 4.4:1. It’s almost certain that first-day numbers like this are one of the reasons why Bitcoin hits yet another all-time high.
