Bitcoin's looking shaky as we head into 2025's final stretch. Here's what's got traders on edge: roughly $23 billion worth of options contracts are expiring next Friday—and that's no small deal. When this much notional value hits settlement all at once, you're looking at potential fireworks in volatility. The pressure's already mounting. Expect things to get choppy around that expiration window. For anyone holding positions, this is definitely one to watch closely.

2.3 billion USD options expiration, can this wave break through? I'll bet on next Friday's bloodbath.
