Activity in options expiring in December and expiring in March next year has been largely bullish.

About $6.3 billion in Bitcoin options expire on April 26, and two-thirds of them are bullish.

Traders have piled another $3.3 billion on bullish Bitcoin bets that expire on June 28 and will be successful if the price reaches $75,000.

Cube CEO Bartosz Lipiński commented that despite concerns about the macroeconomic situation and post-halving sell-offs, buyers continue to participate. He said he saw 'huge demand' as traders bought $1.2 billion worth of Bitcoin during the price drop.

Lipiński highlights the Hong Kong spot Bitcoin ETF and the newly launched fungible token protocol on the Bitcoin Runes network as bullish catalysts.

Launched over the weekend, Runes allows developers and investors to interact with Bitcoin-native tokens, such as memecoin, in a simpler way than before.

'It's hard to predict how much Bitcoin bulls will push the price up, but I'd say Runes is the most influential factor at the moment. Initial signs show that it may deliver results beyond expectations.
