Bitcoin options open interest fell in Coinglass’ Nov. 12 snapshot, while calls held majorities across outstanding positions and recent trading and a Deribit contract led volume.
At 7:01 a.m. ET (12:01 UTC) Thursday, Coinglass put open interest at $32.08 billion, down 1.47% from $32.56 billion a day earlier. Trading volume over the 24-hour period totaled $2.83 billion.
Calls accounted for 56% of open interest, with puts at 44%. Calls represented 54.1% of trading volume and puts 45.9%, a closer split in recent activity.
Deribit’s $80,000 call expiring Dec. 25, 2026, ranked first by volume. An OKX $70,000 put expiring Friday, Nov. 13, ranked second, followed by Deribit’s $74,000 put with the same expiration.
These shares describe the mix of contracts but do not show whether traders used options to hedge or take directional positions. The call share alone does not establish a market outlook. In a Nov. 5 EconoTimes options snapshot, open interest stood at $33.41 billion, with calls at 58.34% of open interest and 60.03% of volume.
