In recent days, BlackRock has been at the center of extreme crypto-market turbulence, as its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and related options saw record trading activity amid theories of leveraged hedge fund blowups and institutional hedging feedback loops.
These events spotlight how a single, rapidly growing bitcoin ETF can influence broader digital-asset price moves and risk management behavior across the market.
We’ll now examine how the crypto-driven volatility around BlackRock’s IBIT ETF shapes the company’s investment narrative and perceived risk profile.

BlackRock, the world’s largest ******* et manager, has filed to launch a second Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded product that would give investors exposure to the cryptocurrency — along with a little yield.
The iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF would feature Bitcoin, cash, and shares of BlackRock’s two-year-old Bitcoin ETP, the iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT.
To generate the “monthly premium income” for the new ETP, BlackRock would sell call options on the IBIT shares, according to the filing.
“Although the Shares [in the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF] are not the equivalent of a direc

BlackRock could soon debut its iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, according to a registration statement filed with the SEC on Friday.
The new ETF will track the "performance of the price of Bitcoin while providing premium income through an actively managed strategy of writing (selling) call options on IBIT shares and, from time to time, on indices that track spot bitcoin exchange-traded products ('ETPs'), including [iShares Bitcoin Trust] (such indices, 'ETP Indices')," the issuer said in its SEC filing.
In practice, this means the fund sells options that give other investors the right to b

Grab a coffee and watch closely: while gold surges to new highs, signaling capital rotation toward safety, Bitcoin remains trapped below $90,000. A $300 million options structure suppressed volatility, but after the major expiry, this calm could quickly give way to dramatic price action.

Bitcoin price is once again showing volatility. On December 26, it spiked 1.63% to more than $89,100, only to hover around $88,500 later.
The latest bounce comes ahead of the $28 billion Friday options expiry. Experts believe that investors should stay vigilant at this point and watch for proper breakout signals before making a fresh entry.

Crypto markets are bracing for a historic year-end event today, December 26, with more than $27 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiring on Deribit. This represents over half of the derivatives exchange’s total open interest.
The colossal “Boxing Day” expiry could mark one of the largest structural resets in crypto history.
Today’s options expiry is significantly higher than those witnessed last week, given it is the last Friday of the month and the year. More precisely, today’s expiring options are for the month and for the quarter (Q4 2025).
The numbers are staggering, with Bitcoi

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded eight consecutive days of institutional selling, with total outflows reaching approximately $825 million as year-end tax strategies dominate market behavior.
According to **** yst Alek, the sustained selling pressure stems primarily from tax loss harvesting.

Ethereum traders are positioning with more optimism than their Bitcoin counterparts, options data shows.
Despite a broadly cautious investor stance, the divergence suggests that traders see less immediate downside risk for the second-largest crypto by market cap than for Bitcoin.

Options traders' bets are flashing a complex signal for Bitcoin: expect a rally, but don't bet on a moonshot. The trade highlights a market that has priced out a euphoric year-end surge in favor of a more measured, range-bound ascent.
Roughly 20,000 BTC in notional call condor block trades were spotted on Deribit, structured for the top crypto to settle between $100,000 and $118,000 by December 2025.
The strategy involves buying four call options with the same expiry but at different strike prices. It is typically employed when investors expect a rally but believe the upside is capped.

The dismissal of two cases against adversaries of President Trump has left the Department of Justice (DOJ) with narrow and murky paths forward if it plans to continue prosecuting them.

NFL Week 12 commences with the Buffalo Bills visiting the Houston Texans on 'Thursday Night Football' at 8:15 p.m. ET. Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been ruled out. With Stroud out, those involved in NFL DFS contests will gravitate towards making a Josh Allen and James Cook NFL DFS stack with the Bills being top-heavy, while under-the-radar options include Khalil Shakir and Ty Johnson. As for Houston, its top daily Fantasy football pick is Nico Collins, who has thrived no matter who has thrown him passes, but the Texans' running back pairing shouldn't be overlooked.
