Around 35,000 Bitcoin options contracts will expire on Friday, August 8, and they have a notional value of roughly $4.1 billion.
This expiry event is smaller than last week’s, so it is unlikely to be enough to influence spot markets, which have started to recover following news in the US that Donald Trump has allowed BTC in pensions.
