Traders have moved into #Bitcoin call options across all tenors to maximize upward potential as Donald Trump's inauguration leads to a decisive shift in market sentiment to the bullish side.

Talking to @CoinDesk, @ErdosiThomas, CF Benchmarks Head of Product, remarked, “Thirty-day topside skew in the Bitcoin options market has reached levels not seen since the November election results. This reflects a strong bullish sentiment, with traders actively positioning for upside exposure across both short-and long-term maturities.”

Spot #ETF inflows are surging into US listed funds with $802 million flowing in yesterday. @BlackRock's IBIT accounted for more than 80% of the total at $661.8 million.

Wall St turns positive. Markets there respond better to #Iran verbal deescalation ("proportionate measures") than EU. All Europe indices off lows, but still weak. #Gold keeps bid. #Oil too, but less ^KO
