Market trading volume has significantly contracted. Bitcoin ETFs have attracted substantial investment, while Ethereum is experiencing capital outflows, leading to increased demand divergence. Changes have occurred in the Ethereum options market, with traders tending to sell call options and showing little confidence in a short-term rebound.

Odaily Planet Daily News: BIT released today’s chart, saying that market trading volume has clearly contracted and lacks clear directional catalyst. While spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $1.3 billion in net inflows, Ethereum continues to face persistent capital outflows, and demand divergence between the two further intensifies. From a macro perspective, even though geopolitical risks have not eased and volatility continues to compress, put option strategies are becoming increasingly favored.

Recent changes in the Ethereum options market are especially notable: the share of selling upside call options has risen significantly, indicating that the market lacks confidence in an ETH short-term rebound. A few months ago, traders were actively buying upside exposure; now the wind has shifted—more Ethereum traders are choosing to earn premium by selling call options rather than betting on a directional upside move.
