Retail investors occupy the options market: 55% participation rate hits a record high, with 3.5 billion contracts behind the BTFD.

Abstract generation in progress

[Block Rhythm] The options market in Q3 this year is a bit crazy, with a quarterly trading volume that has surpassed 3.5 billion contracts for the first time. It's worth noting that this number has doubled in the past five years.

What's even more exaggerated is the participation rate of retail investors — reaching a historical high of 55% last quarter. This means that more than half of the market transactions are now being played by retail investors. This proportion has increased by 10 percentage points compared to 2023, while the five-year average is only around 49%.

Last week, during the market adjustment, there was an epic bottom-fishing behavior among retail investors. The data doesn't lie: retail investors are becoming the dominant force in the Options market. To be honest, the speed of this transformation is somewhat beyond expectations.
