Ether surpasses Bitcoin on options volume for the first time
Ether has been one of the best performing cryptocurrencies in recent weeks, setting a new all-time high above $3,400. For the first time, Ether options volume on major platforms surpassed that of Bitcoin.
Ether options see higher volume than Bitcoin
Ether is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and it has outperformed Bitcoin in recent weeks. Its performance saw it achieve a market cap above $350 billion, the first time it is crossing that mark.The cryptocurrency also set another record this week, outperforming Bitcoin in the options market for the first time. Ether’s trading volume surpassed that of Bitcoin for the first time in history.
Yesterday, four leading exchanges offering ETH options (Deribit, OKEx, Huobi, and bit.com) recorded a combined trading volume of $1.32 billion, surpassing that of Bitcoin. The leading cryptocurrency’s options market traded contracts worth roughly $879 million.
Deribit, in its tweet, stated that it doesn’t know the cause of the flip. “We have no opinion on an $ETH - BTC flippening, but our ETH options volume did flip $BTC options volume for the first time. $1.4B notional,” the exchange wrote.
Options volume rise and ETH price sets new all-time high
The increase in Ether’s options volume coincides with the cryptocurrency journey to a new all-time high. The Ethereum blockchain’s native token rose above $3,400 a few hours ago. As well, Ether is up by over 60% over the past month, while Bitcoin has lost 3% of its value during that period.Ether options have been on the rise for the past few weeks, with Deribit accounting for 80% of the total activity. Options are derivative contracts that grant the buyer the right but not the obligation to purchase the underlying asset at a pre-set price on or before a pre-agreed date. A call option gives the right to buy, and the put grants the right to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked.
