Institutional Money Floods Bitcoin as Deribit Options Market Hits Record Activity
Institutional Money Floods Bitcoin as Deribit Options Market Hits Record Activity

Wall Street’s crypto skeptics are suddenly quiet—Deribit’s BTC options volume just screamed institutional FOMO. The smart money’s back, and they’re not buying the ’digital tulips’ narrative anymore.
Behind the surge: TradFi players finally realizing hedging with futures is like bringing a knife to a gamma squeeze fight. Meanwhile, retail traders still think ’institutional confidence’ means a bank teller smiling at their Coinbase withdrawal.
The punchline? This rally came despite SEC chair Gary Gensler’s best efforts to regulate Bitcoin into oblivion. Maybe decentralized finance doesn’t need his permission after all.
