Calls outweighed puts among Bitcoin (BTC) options still open on Sunday, while puts led 24-hour trading, highlighting the difference between outstanding positions and recent activity, Coinglass data showed.
In a Coinglass snapshot at 7:20 a.m. ET (11:20 UTC) Sunday, Oct. 25, open interest totaled $37.23 billion, down 0.08% from $37.26 billion a day earlier. The data also showed about $2.26 billion in options trading over the preceding 24 hours.
Calls made up 59.53% of open interest, compared with 40.47% for puts. Puts accounted for 63.99% of trading volume, while calls represented 36.01%. The split put a call majority in outstanding positions and a put majority in recent turnover.
A Deribit $75,000 put expiring Dec. 25 ranked first by 24-hour volume. It was followed by a $72,000 put with the same expiry and a $73,000 put due to expire Friday, Oct. 30; both also traded on Deribit.
The top three open-interest contracts were Deribit calls at $95,000, $100,000 and $90,000, all expiring Friday, Oct. 30. The order differed from the volume list, which contained three puts.
Open interest counts options contracts that remain outstanding, while volume records trading over a given period. The two measures describe different parts of the market: one shows open positions at a moment, and the other captures activity over 24 hours. This division describes positioning and turnover, but it does not reveal what traders expect Bitcoin to do.
An earlier EconoTimes options snapshot put open interest at $37.31 billion, with calls again holding the larger share. Separate EconoTimes coverage recorded an Oct. 21 reading of $38.49 billion. Those figures provide historical context; Coinglass measured Sunday's 0.08% decline against $37.26 billion from the previous day.
Bitcoin traded at $80,355, down 0.20% over 24 hours, as of 11:30 UTC, according to CoinGecko spot data. That quote came 10 minutes after the options snapshot.
