Approximately $15.6 billion in Bitcoin options expired on Deribit on September 25. The settlement, one of the year's largest, cleared a significant concentration of derivatives positions without disrupting the spot market. Bitcoin traded around $83,600 following the expiry, remaining above its previous trading range despite pulling back from weekly highs near $87,000. Meanwhile, XRP and Solana continued to outperform Bitcoin, suggesting that capital remains active within the crypto market rather than fleeing risk.
