Bitcoin’s price has captured the world’s attention again as the total open interest in Bitcoin options climbed to an all-time high of $46.2 billion. It’s an increase of almost 126% since the start of this year.
Despite the boom in open interest, data show a growing caution near the $110k price level. As of now, the bitcoin price is trading around $108,567, reflecting a slight drop.
According to data from Glassnode, the total open interest in Bitcoin options has surged to an all-time high of $46.2 billion, making a dramatic surge. In early 2025, total open interest sat around $20 billion. Since then, it has more than doubled, adding roughly $25.8 billion to reach today’s peak.
This spike shows that both bullish and bearish traders are placing bigger wagers on where Bitcoin’s price might head next.
Open interest measures all active options contracts that haven’t been closed or settled. When open interest rises, it often means new money is flowing into the market.
Meanwhile, a high open interest, especially at record levels, points to growing excitement and potential risk, since more capital is on the line.
Right now, Bitcoin is trading below the $109,000 mark, and this level is considered very crucial. If Bitcoin breaks through, it could spark a fresh wave of buying that pushes the price even higher. But if it can’t hold, some traders think we could see a quick pullback.
The options market’s record size suggests that whichever way Bitcoin goes, the move could be sharp.
