  • BlackRock's Bitcoin Options on Nasdaq Surpass Offshore Deribit in Market Size
    April 25, 2026, 6:56 PM EDT. Investors are increasingly turning to BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) options on Nasdaq, with open interest hitting $27.61 billion, narrowly surpassing the offshore crypto platform Deribit's $26.9 billion. IBIT's growth marks a milestone in the institutionalization of bitcoin derivatives, signaling stronger U.S. regulatory infrastructure and attracting more Wall Street participation. Options, contracts that provide rights to buy or sell bitcoin at preset prices, allow traders to hedge, speculate, or generate income. The expansion of IBIT options reflects rising demand tied to economic uncertainty, including supply chain and geopolitical risks. Experts view this as a positive shift, offering regulated access and deeper liquidity to U.S. retail and institutional investors, advancing mature price discovery in the bitcoin market.
