CME follows at 125,950 BTC worth $10.07 billion. MEXC holds $5.60 billion, Gate has $4.75 billion, and Bybit carries $4.64 billion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_841998\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-841998\" style=\"width:1672px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-841998\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin futures open interest via Coinglass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is not one exchange distorting the tape. Binance open interest jumped 5.05% over 24 hours, CME rose 3.62%, MEXC gained 4.77%, and Bitget climbed 4.62%. BingX delivered the eye-popping move during the trading session, with open interest exploding 103.60% in 24 hours to $1.16 billion.<\/p>\n<h2>Options Traders Pay Dearly to Chase Bitcoin Prices Higher<\/h2>\n<p>The options market is flashing the same aggressive hunger for upside. On X, the popular social media account, Kobeissi Letter, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KobeissiLetter\/status\/2091896812559106122?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stressed that traders have been hammering call options<\/a> on Blackrock\u2019s IBIT, the largest U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) today. Calls give buyers the right to purchase an asset at a preset price and are commonly used to wager on rising prices.<\/p>\n<p>IBIT call volume smashed a record 1.58 million contracts on Wednesday and stayed above 1 million contracts during each of the next two sessions. Call skew, a gauge of how expensive bullish options are against downside protection, jumped 0.05 in three days, its biggest three-day increase in at least two years.<\/p>\n<p>That distinction matters because traders are not merely betting that bitcoin\u2019s price climbs. They are paying increasingly rich premiums to get aboard. The Kobeissi Letter summed up the shift succinctly:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCrypto bulls are back in full force.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Many onlookers agreed with this assessment. \u201cLooks like the bulls are back in town with their dancing shoes on. Always a thrill to watch market optimism in action,\u201d one individual replied in the X thread.<\/p>\n<h2>Calls Seize Control Across Bitcoin Options<\/h2>\n<p>Broader bitcoin options data, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/options\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to Coinglass BTC options stats<\/a>, confirms that bullish tilt. Calls represent 59.37% of options open interest, totaling 294,641.17 BTC, against 201,606.44 BTC in puts. During the past 24 hours, calls also captured 57.50% of options volume, compared with 42.50% for puts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_841994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-841994\" style=\"width:2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-841994 size-full\" title=\"Six-Figure Bitcoin Price in Sight as BTC Call Options Go Berserk\" src=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-24-at-12-51-34-pm-scaled.png\" alt=\"Bitcoin options screenshot \" width=\"2560\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-24-at-12-51-34-pm-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-24-at-12-51-34-pm-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-24-at-12-51-34-pm-768x240.png 768w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-24-at-12-51-34-pm-1536x480.png 1536w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-24-at-12-51-34-pm-2048x640.png 2048w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-24-at-12-51-34-pm-scaled.png 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-841994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin options show a bullish tilt toward higher bitcoin prices. Image source: Coinglass.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Total bitcoin options open interest has snapped sharply higher, climbing toward $39 billion after hovering around $25 billion earlier in August. The rebound drags the market back toward spring levels, when bitcoin options exposure routinely bounced between roughly $35 billion and $45 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest positions show exactly where <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/exchanges\/coinbase-launching-170-derivatives-contracts-for-uk-professionals\/\">bitcoin derivatives traders<\/a> are planting their flags. Deribit\u2019s Sept. 25 $70,000 call leads open interest with 11,037.4 BTC, while the Dec. 25 $80,000 call carries another 8,749.3 BTC. Calls at $100,000 and $120,000 also sit among the exchange\u2019s largest outstanding positions. Many traders are still expecting a six-figure bitcoin price.<\/p>\n<h2>Max Pain Looms as the Next Derivatives Battleground<\/h2>\n<p>Expiration dates now matter more as that leverage piles higher. Deribit data places max pain, the price where the greatest amount of options would expire worthless, near $78,000 for Aug. 25 before sliding toward $70,000 for Aug. 28. Binance shows comparable levels around $78,000 and $70,000.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy call buying can feed a rally because dealers selling those contracts may purchase IBIT shares or other bitcoin-linked exposure to hedge their risk. That buying can add another tailwind as bitcoin prices climb, but the machinery can reverse quickly if BTC retreats and traders unwind positions.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin is therefore arriving at the $80,000 doorstep carrying considerably more derivatives firepower behind it. The next test is whether BTC can plant itself above $80,000, whether open interest keeps ballooning through upcoming expirations, and whether the call-buying stampede has another gear or finally runs out of fuel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\"><a aria-label=\"Read Now: Bitcoin Price Storms Past $79K Before Hitting Resistance Near $80K\" class=\"block overflow-hidden rounded-lg
