Will you offer insurance when expecting low odds of a claim made? Most likely, you will, whilepocheting the premium without a second thinking. Bitcoin (BTC) entrepreneurs are doing something similar to the BTC options market listed in the derivit, indicating the expected bullish prices.
Recently, an increase in the number of merchants has sold (writing) that puts BTC options, which is compared to providing insurance against price drops in exchange for a small upward premium.
They implement this approach in a way that is safe in cash by handling a corresponding amount of stablecoins, making sure they can buy BTC if the market has refused and the put consumer has decided to use its right to sell BTC at the predetermined higher price.
This approach gives entrepreneurs to collect premiums (paid by consumers) while potentially accumulated Bitcoin if options are carried out. In other words, it is the expression of a long -term bullish feeling.

$ 9 billion in Delta
How important to monitor the flow market flows can be explained by the fact that the integrated Delta on the options and options of the derivit tied to the listed US Blackrock spot bitcoin ETF (IBIT) and its peers are $ 9 billion to Wednesday, According to the data monitored by Volmex.
The data indicates the increased sensitivity of BTC price changes, which suggests the potential for price volatility.
The Delta, one of the metrics used by sophisticated market participants to manage the risk, measures how much the premium (premium) of a choice contract is likely to change in response to the $ 1 price of the underlying owner, in this case, BTC.
Thus, the combined -Delta of $ 9 billion represents the total sensitivity of all remaining BTC and Bitcoin ETF options to changes in the price of the area. As Wednesday, the total notional value of all the remaining choices of contracts is $ 43 billion.
Such a major data or sensitivity to price swings in the underlying possession means that market and traders makers are actively engaged in hedging techniques to reduce their risks.
