The post Crypto News Today : Friday’s Bitcoin, Ethereum Options Expiry Could Trigger a Volatility Storm appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The second quarter of 2025 has been kind to Bitcoin. Since April 1, the market leader has climbed 30.2 % , buoyed by a 14.2 % gain in April, an 11.1 % jump in May, and a further 2.6 % rise so far in June. The rally carried price from $104,544 at the start of the month to about $107,370 today, briefly tagging new cycle highs near $107 K. Period Price Change April 2025 +14.2 % May 2025 +11.1 % June-to-date +2.6 % Q2-to-date +30.2 % Crypto Market Today Spot price drifts into Thursday night. A slow slide toward $102 K would hint that option sellers are steering the market. Liquidity at $105 K. A gap in buy orders below that level raises the odds of a swift downdraft. Post-expiry snap-back. Once $15 B in hedges disappear, a sudden volatility spike up or down is common. Friday’s $15 B Options Expiry According to Deribit’s Chief Commercial Officer Jean-David Pequignot , one of the year’s biggest expiries hits the tape this Friday. Roughly $15.2 B in BTC options 38 % of the entire $40 B open interest, will settle at once. The “max-pain” level, where the highest number of contracts expire worthless, sits at $102,000 . Prices often drift toward this magnet because market makers who sell options profit most if Bitcoin lands there at expiry. Sentiment and Volatility Tell a Mixed Story Options data still leans cautiously bullish: Put/Call ratio: 0.73 , meaning there are 73 puts for every 100 calls—more calls signal an upside tilt. Implied volatility: down sharply from 50 % to 38 % , suggesting traders expect smaller price swings in the near term. Yet those expectations can change quickly when billions in contracts roll off. $105 K: The Line in the Sand Technical traders are laser-focused on $105,000 . It has acted as first-line support throughout June: Hold above $105 K: Bulls retain control; a post-expiry relief rally toward $110 K or higher stays on the table. Break below $105 K: Sentiment could flip in a hurry, with price gravitating toward the $102 K max-pain zone and triggering a cascade of stop-loss orders. Bottom Line Bitcoin’s 30 % quarter has impressed even hardened bulls, but the real test comes with Friday’s mega-expiry. Stay alert, whether BTC defends $105 K or succumbs to max-pain gravity will likely set the tone for the rest of the summer.
The top digital currency, Bitcoin, surpassed Google in market capitalization and is currently the sixth-largest asset worldwide. Bitcoin is now valued at $2.128 trillion, beating Google at only $2.075 trillion, and ranking just below Gold, Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon. BTC’s growing adoption has contributed to the rise in its market cap Bitcoin saw its market cap rise following the massive institutional adoption after the launch of spot ETFs . The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s ETF approval triggered significant capital inflows from institutional players worldwide. As of June 9, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest BTC exchange-traded fund on the market, had pulled in over $70 billion in t otal assets, growing more quickly than any other ETF. Fidelity’s FBTC ranked second with $20 billion, and Grayscale’s GBTC came in third with just under $20 billion. President Donald Trump’s support for Bitcoin has propelled the asset’s status and driven adoption. During his campaign days, he hinted at a Bitcoin reserve, which he signed an executive order on when he assumed office. He also signed an executive order to establish a digital asset stockpile. Analysts now believe BTC could easily surpass $200,000 in the next few years. If this growth trend continues, Bitcoin could approach—or even overtake—Microsoft and Nvidia, and become the largest asset of all time, especially if the US maintains a pro-Bitcoin approach. In the Bitcoin Magazine podcast in April, Zach Shapiro, the head of policy for the Bitcoin-focused BPI think tank, argued that a US government purchase of 1 million BTC would significantly affect the asset’s price. He said, “If the United States announces that we are buying a million Bitcoins, that’s just a global seismic shock. I think first, Bitcoin price goes through the roof. I think we’d probably go very quickly to something like a million dollars per Bitcoin.” BPI executive director Matthew Hines also claimed that other countries are watching closely to see how the US approaches Bitcoin before shaping their policies. Hines added that the Trump administration’s desire to make the US the BTC superpower will hinge on how much Bitcoin they’ll hold. The UK’s CMA is investigating Alphabet, focusing on Google’s search and ad services Alphabet is grappling with increased regulatory scrutiny, antitrust probes, and a dip in its digital ad earnings. The company is also dealing with fierce competition from its AI-focused rivals, threatening to upend the dominance of AI-driven ad tools like Performance Max and its generative search summaries. Google is still under antitrust investigations in the UK and the EU. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is currently reviewing Google’s search and advertising services under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 to determine whether the company should be granted Strategic Market Status (SMS). The CMA’s roadmap includes early priorities such as requiring choice screens for users to access various search providers, ensuring fair ranking principles for businesses, enhancing publishers’ content transparency, and enabling consumer data portability to foster innovation. Meanwhile, the European Union is also looking into AI overviews under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), claiming they favor Google-owned content and divert traffic from third-party websites. According to an Ahrefs study, AI overviews caused nearly a 35% dip in organic website clicks, possibly lowering publishers’ ad revenue. If the EU finds fault with AI overviews and Google, the tech giant could be penalized and obliged to pay fines. KEY Difference Wire helps crypto brands break through and dominate headlines fast

A fund based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a significant investment of $100 million in the Trump-backed decentralized finance (DeFi) platform World Liberty Financial, and its native token WLFI. The investment was confirmed in a joint statement by Aqua 1 and World Liberty Financial, highlighting the collaboration as a step towards developing a blockchain financial ecosystem and integrating stablecoins. World Liberty Financial Partners With Aqua 1 Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We’re excited to work hand-in-hand with the team at Aqua 1.” This investment positions Aqua 1 among the largest stakeholders in the Trump family’s cryptocurrency project. It is further strengthened by the backing of crypto billionaire Justin Sun, who is the top investor in the company with a substantial $75 million stake. Related Reading: XRP Gears Up For Major Move — Chart Signals Are Clear This marks the second investment from a UAE-based firm in World Liberty Financial within a short span; earlier this year, Abu Dhabi’s MGX used World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin to facilitate a $2 billion investment in Binance. David Lee, a founding partner at Aqua 1, stated that Aqua 1 and the decentralized platform will collaborate to “identify and nurture promising blockchain projects.” World Liberty Financial also plans to support the Aqua Fund, an investment vehicle focused on enhancing the digital economy in the Middle East. In addition, Aqua 1 will aid World Liberty Financial in expanding its reach into South America, Europe, Asia, and emerging markets. Both companies are also set to develop “BlockRock,” a platform aimed at tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) to bridge traditional investments like real estate with the Web3 ecosystem. New App Launch Planned In tandem with these initiatives, World Liberty Financial is preparing to release an audit report of its stablecoin, USD1, within days. Folkman, speaking at the Permissionless conference in Brooklyn, New York, also mentioned that the platform’s WLFI token may soon become tradable. Launched two months prior to the US presidential election, WLFI has already generated substantial revenue for Trump’s family business through the sale of governance tokens. These tokens grant holders the ability to vote on project changes and influence its strategic direction. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Top In? Bitcoin MVRV-Score Has The Answer While WLFI is currently not tradable, Folkman hinted at forthcoming updates that users should watch for in the coming weeks. He also revealed that the company’s stablecoin has received its first attestation report, which will be available on the company’s website. To further facilitate user engagement, Folkman announced the upcoming launch of a new app designed to simplify cryptocurrency use for everyday investors. As of press time, the official TRUMP memecoin trades at $8.96, recording a major 30% drop in the monthly time frame. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
