Traders are closely watching the expiration of approximately $4 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options contracts, which is anticipated to cause short-term price volatility. This expiration affects both major digital assets: Bitcoin, used for transactions and as a store of value, and Ethereum, the leading platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications.
