On its first day of trading, BlackRock's IBIT options reached a transaction volume of nearly 1.90 billion USD, with 82% being call options.
According to BlockBeats news, on November 20, Bloomberg's senior ETF analyst James Seyffart posted data on social media stating that on the first day of trading for BlackRock's IBIT options, 354 thousand contracts were traded, with a nominal exposure slightly below 1.90 billion USD. Among these, 82% were call options (289 thousand), and 18% were put options (65 thousand), resulting in a ratio of 4.4:1. It is almost certain that such first-day data is one of the reasons for Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high.
