#比特币与黄金战争 After the Christmas holiday, the crypto market shows slight adjustments, with Bitcoin fluctuating around $87,000.

Market snapshot on December 26: BTC at $87,115, down less than 1%; Ethereum at $2,897, down 1.68%; SOL has fallen below the $120 mark. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has retreated to $3.021 trillion. The market remains calm, but a huge variable is about to arrive.

**A Historic Options Feast**

Today, Bitcoin options face an unprecedented expiration day — 300,000 BTC options contracts are expiring simultaneously, with a notional value of up to $23.7 billion. Coupled with Ethereum options worth $8.5 billion, the total options expiration amount for the two main cryptocurrencies reaches $28.5 billion. This volume is twice that of the same period last year.

The market generally expects this influx of capital to break the current calm, with prices either rising or falling, but never remaining uneventful.

**Altcoin Frenzy**

While mainstream coins hesitate, some smaller tokens are lively:

BIFI leads the rally, surging 78% in 24 hours to $238; ZBT follows closely, up 55.2%; 0G rises 29.3%; ACT and LAYER see slight increases.

On the downside: METIS drops 12.8%, BANANA and DOLO fall 12% and 10%, respectively.

This is a typical reflection of market divergence — the big ship remains steady, while small boats are tossing.

BTC-2,51%

BIFI12,53%

ZBT-2,27%

0G-1,48%

$28.5 billion options spectacle, crypto holders better settle in --- Altcoins' surge... is it another signal of a pullback? --- BTC repeatedly hovering around 87K, waiting to see how today's options play out --- Small coins hit daily limits one after another, while I'm stuck with METIS, it's really frustrating --- Mainstream coins are stagnant, altcoins are going crazy, the divergence is getting more and more ridiculous --- 300,000 options expiring... essentially a choice between suppression or a rally --- BIFI up 78% in one day, who believes this isn't a trap? I respect whoever does --- Market "calm and steady"? Wait until options settlement day to see what real surprise looks like --- A big ship steady, a small boat capsizing, another harvest season perhaps --- $28.5 billion feast, retail investors are still guessing whether it will go up or down

$28.5 billion worth of options are about to explode, this is the real casino moment Wait, is SOL breaking 120? What does this imply? Altcoins are starting to rollercoaster again, BIFI up 78% in a day—are we far from a crash? In the big wave of淘沙, mainstream coins are holding steady, while small coins are risking everything On options expiration day, I’m just waiting to see who gets liquidated

$28.5 billion options settlement... This wave will either result in blood splattering five steps or hitting the daily limit, lying flat and waiting for the explosion.
