Almost $ 3 billion bitcoin option expires

The Bitcoin price fluctuated yesterday around the threshold of 44,000 – 42,000 USD, other Altcoins also fluctuate in price according to BTC. After more than 3 consecutive days of BTC with a higher deposit on the exchange, the amount of BTC withdrawn from the exchange dominated on the last day. This is a good trend for the BTC price.

Then there was a FUD message of China’s push to ban crypto, which caused the price to drop to $ 41,000. Derived from an article by Bloomberg. They said the People’s Bank of China said crypto-related transactions were viewed as illegal financial activities, including services provided by overseas exchanges. It added that cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Tether, are not fiat currencies and cannot be circulated. However, Bloomberg has not given an official source.

China was previously strict and this information is just a replication of what the government provided in 2017. The Chinese government is printing nearly $ 100 billion this week to support Evergrande. Perhaps because China fears people are taking money to buy Bitcoin for fear of high inflation, so they just released information on September 15th to remind people of China’s laws, but it is only being shared now, exactly on the day of bitcoin.

A much discussed event is the news that over $ 2.9 billion in Bitcoin options is expiring today. And the max pain price, which is the price with the most loss options, is $ 44,000.

The conspiracy theory holds that the market will be forced to push the price down to the maximum pain price, since then the number of losers will be highest. However, Thuan believes this is an option to buy or sell, so this event won’t have too much of an impact on the BTC price.

Looking back at the coins that were at the top in BTC’s historical years such as 2013, 2017, only BTC continues to hold the top position. Other altcoins in the top 10, top 20 have changed continuously over the years. Hence, when investing, it is important that we need to take profits in order to protect the profits we make from investing BTC and Altcoins.

Binance is facing criminal investigations in the USA, Great Britain and Japan, among others. Not only is Binance the largest cryptocurrency exchange right now, but they also want to show their willingness to partner with major government and law enforcement agencies.

As a result of its activities, Binance has discovered a number of accounts linked to the addresses of criminals mentioned in the notice from the OFAC financial crime control agency. Binance then notified OFAC and assisted the agency in freezing the criminal accounts.
