> Bitcoin options open interest rose 8.39% to $33.41 billion, with calls accounting for 58.34%. The November 13 $81,000 call led 24-hour trading volume.

Bitcoin options open interest rose 8.39% from the previous day to $33.41 billion, while trading volume totaled $5.71 billion. Calls accounted for the larger share of both outstanding positions and trading, with the November 13 $81,000 call leading volume.

Call options held the majority across both measures, with their share of trading volume exceeding their share of open interest.

As of November 5 at 12:20 UTC, total Bitcoin options open interest stood at $33.41 billion, up from $30.83 billion the previous day. Options trading volume reached $5.71 billion.

Calls represented 58.34% of open interest and puts 41.66%. By 24-hour trading volume, calls accounted for 60.03% and puts for 39.97%.

The figures show a greater concentration in calls across outstanding positions and current trading activity. The higher call share in volume indicates that recent activity was more heavily concentrated in calls than the existing position base.

The leading contracts by 24-hour volume were the November 13, 2026 $81,000 call, the November 6, 2026 $80,000 call and the November 27, 2026 $85,000 call, also all on Deribit.

[Editor's note] Options are derivatives used to take leveraged positions on an underlying asset or hedge existing exposure. Calls give holders the right to buy at a predetermined price, while puts give holders the right to sell. Open interest measures outstanding contracts and indicates the accumulated size of positions.

Comparing call and put shares across open interest and volume helps distinguish accumulated positioning from shorter-term trading activity. A larger call share alone does not establish the purpose of those positions, as options can also form part of hedging strategies.
