BitcoinWorld Bybit & Block Scholes Report: BTC Options Flipped Put-Call Skew After ATH Dubai, United Arab Emirates, July 14th, 2025, Chainwire Bybit , the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest crypto derivatives analytics report with Block Scholes, outlining BTC’s solid price action in the previous week with positive movements all around from ETH to altcoins. Key Insights: Price Surge Uplifted Option Interest and Funding Rates: Perpetual trading volume on Bybit hit a monthly high at $11.1B by the end of the week after a lackluster July thus far, following BTC’s breakthrough to $115k on July 9. Following weeks of fluctuation, overall funding rates for assets, including BTC, turned consistently positive, with BTC suffering only 8 hours of negative funding rates a day before its ATH over Trump’s tariff remarks. BTC Options Reversed Course: BTC’s options market sentiment underwent a dramatic reversal at the price surge on July 9th, with put-call skew flipping from a 2% premium favoring downside protection to a 5% premium on upside calls, indicating traders are increasingly positioning for further BTC price appreciation despite the asset’s already substantial gains. Source: Bybit and Block Scholes Altcoins Outperformed BTC: Notably, altcoins demonstrated competitive gains against BTC, with ETH and XRP each surging over 6% compared to BTC’s relatively modest gains to its new ATH of $112K—just $29 above the May peak.
