$10 Billion Bitcoin Options Expiry Pressures Market as June ETF Outflows Near $3 Billion

Summary
$10 billion in Bitcoin options expires on Deribit at 4 p.m. Friday in Singapore, covering about 37% of open interest and adding pressure to an already weak market.
Bitcoin slid to $59,023 on Wednesday—its lowest since October 2024—before rebounding to about $61,650, leaving many bullish call positions offside as puts cluster around $60,000 to $75,000.
Thin quarter-end and summer liquidity could amplify Friday's move before dealer hedges unwind, though traders say the expiry may clear positioning more than set Bitcoin's longer-term direction.
Almost $3 billion has flowed out of US-listed Bitcoin funds in June, while hawkish Fed signals, elevated Treasury yields and concerns over Strategy Inc.'s obligations reinforce a tighter-liquidity backdrop.
