Bitcoin’s June 26 options expiry provides a clean snapshot of how risk is being framed several months out, and the picture that emerges is one of deliberate insurance. Total open interest for the expiry sits near $3.92 billion in notional terms as of Jan. 20, with puts outnumbering calls at roughly 23.28K versus 19.87K contracts.

The current system often links each crypto exchange to just one bank, limiting choice and creating high entry barriers for smaller firms. Though this setup isn’t officially required by law, it has become widespread due to anti-money laundering and identity verification rules. The Financial…
