Traditional asset management and family offices are moving back to the crypto options table.
PANews September 23 report: Deribit APAC business lead Lin Chen said in an X post that some traditional large asset management firms and high-net-worth clients/family offices have recently increased their allocation to the crypto market again, with individual deal sizes reaching several billion dollars.
These institutions mainly allocate through derivatives—especially options strategies—focusing on managing position risk and exposure. One observation is that the way capital is flowing back is more structured rather than chasing spot directly; another is that if these large-block trades continue, implied volatility and liquidity for BTC- and ETH-related options may draw even more attention.
Are you more focused on the volatility increase brought by institutions returning, or on improved derivatives liquidity?
