Bitcoin’s end-of-September options expiry holds 130,670 BTC of open interest, compared with 79,003 BTC for August, a headline gap large enough to look like traders are loading up before the Federal Reserve’s Sept. 16 decision.DWF Labs market insights lead Martin Lee said in a note that most of that gap has nothing to do with the Fed.

For non-fixed markers, Provenance’s bank module tracks live…
