Options Trading Activity Reaches 2021 Levels Amid Bitcoin ETF Outflows

According to BeInCrypto, options volume in the cryptocurrency market has returned to levels seen in 2021. At the same time, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are experiencing outflows. The article explains that while trading activity via options contracts mirrors past year‑level figures, recent ETF movements differ.

The author notes that the rise in options usage does not automatically imply a repeat of Bitcoin’s 2021 price increase or doubling pattern. Factors such as market structure, investor behavior, and regulatory context are cited as reasons why BTC has not repeated its 2021 doubling.
