Deribit to have over $14 billion worth of Bitcoin options contracts expire this Friday
Deribit Exchange will have a total of 141,271 Bitcoin options contracts expiring this Friday, worth over $14 billion, accounting for over 40% of the total open contracts. Of these, 81,994 are call options, and the rest are put options. The current ratio of put options to call options for Bitcoin has risen to 0.72, partly due to the promotion of the "cash-secured put options" strategy.
Lin Chen, Head of Deribit's Asian business development, stated that nearly 20% of the expiring call options are in-the-money options, indicating a strong performance by the call option buyers this period. The biggest pain point for this expiry is $102,000. The latest market fund flow is neutral-biased, with traders selling straddle options and selling call options with a strike price of around $105,000 expiring on June 27, as well as shorting put options with a strike price of $100,000. It is expected that price volatility will tighten leading up to the expiry, with implied volatility still at high levels.

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative
Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.

AI trading collapse: Will Anthropic postpone its "Super IPO"? The "scheduled listing date" in mid-November is approaching.
The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
