Bitcoin Holds Below $90k Amid Thin Liquidity, Record Options Expiry Looms Thin Christmas holiday market liquidity, a surge in precious metals siphoning capital, and an impending record options expiration have kept Bitcoin under $90,000 on December 23. Analysts caution Friday’s record options expiry will amplify volatility. Some 300,000 BTC options contracts (nominal value ~$23.7 billion) are set to expire—accounting for over half of Deribit’s total open BTC contracts. Deribit Chief Commercial Officer Jean-David Pequignot noted the expiry is “breaking records,” with $28.5 billion in combined BTC and ETH options expiring—double last year’s total.
