Bitcoin Options Increased After the FED Meeting! What is the Latest Status of Ethereum Options? Here are the Details
Bitcoin (BTC) investors are increasingly investing in price increases through options markets following the recent Federal Reserve policy meeting, while Ethereum (ETH) continues to see cautious sentiment reflecting ongoing uncertainty despite the upcoming network upgrade.
BTC Options Rose After the FED Meeting
The change in sensitivity came after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed the central bank's forecast of two interest rate cuts this year and downplayed the inflationary impact of tariffs implemented under the Trump administration by labeling it as "transitory."
Data obtained from Amberdata shows that Bitcoin's risk returns have turned positive, meaning traders are now paying a premium for call options compared to put options for ( bullish bets ) and ( bearish bets ).
This situation indicates a significant reversal compared to previous weeks, where downward fears have increased demand for protective put options.
According to Paradigm, a corporate over-the-counter ( OTC ) trading platform, there has been an increase in demand for call options for March 21 and March 28 in the options flows, while put options were sold. This indicates that investors are positioning themselves for a potential BTC rally in the coming weeks.
The change in the options market coincides with a broader optimism that could have positive effects on regulatory clarity for the crypto industry, following the conclusion of the SEC's legal battle with Ripple.
Investors Remain Cautious as Ethereum Options are Delayed
Unlike Bitcoin, the Ethereum options market continues to reflect a trend towards downward protection and still commands a premium on calls, especially for contracts that expire in May.
Despite the upcoming Ethereum Pectra update, which is expected to increase network efficiency and scalability, traders are maintaining their hesitations.
The update that will offer smart accounts, blob scaling, and validator improvements will be released on March 26, but Ethereum has not yet seen a significant change in sentiment.
