Deribit Exchange Sees Massive XRP Covered Call Strategy Unfold

Deribit exchange News -
Significant block trades in XRP call options emerged this week, with one million contracts at a $4 strike price executed on Deribit. The December 26 expiration suggests strategic positioning rather than outright bullish speculation.
Market analysts interpret this activity as a covered call strategy, where holders monetize existing positions by selling upside exposure. The $4 strike sits well above XRP's current spot price, indicating a yield-generation play rather than directional conviction.
Deribit's options market demonstrates heightened institutional participation as traders deploy sophisticated strategies amid stagnant price action. The exchange continues to dominate crypto derivatives despite recent market turbulence.
