Coin World reported on August 11 that, influenced by the upcoming U.S. inflation data, the open interest for BTC and ETH options reached $43 billion and $13.9 billion, respectively, both at year-high levels. Market traders are hedging using BTC put options in the $115,000 to $118,000 range. Analysts point out that if the CPI data is lower than expected, the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September will increase; conversely, it may suppress the rebound of risk assets. Institutional investment and ETF inflows continue, and BTC prices are expected to break $150,000 by the end of 2025.
