Individual investors are taking over the options market:
Retail is now trading an average of 1.2 MILLION S&P 500 0DTE options per day.
This surpasses the institutional average number of contracts, at 1.1 million.
In other words, retail investors now reflect ~53% of total S&P 500 0DTE activity.
According to CBOE, retail average daily trading volumes have risen +700% over the last 5 years.
Meanwhile, 0DTE options reflected over 60% of total daily SPX options volume for the first time in Q3 2025.
Retail’s appetite for risk is through the roof.
Today is a watershed moment for Solana!
Introducing the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF: $BSOL
BSOL is built to maximize Solana’s 7%+ average staking rewards* for investors, targeting 100% of assets staked through Bitwise Onchain Solutions, powered by the high-performance tech of @heliuslabs. Fees waived to 0% for a limited time.**
Why Solana?
Solana is one of the fastest growing technology platforms in the world, with usage generating over $2B in network revenue in the past year alone—more than any other chain. Known for its high throughput and low cost, Solana has achieved massive adoption in just five years since its launch and is poised to be a major winner as capital markets move onchain. We think it’s a rising star and just getting started.
We’re thrilled investors can now use BSOL to participate in Solana’s rare combination of growth potential and high 7% average annual staking rewards. Crypto is becoming a mainstream asset class in 2025, and today, Solana takes a big leap forward in that journey.
Lutnick: "Both the Mexicans and the Canadians were on the phone with me all day today trying to show that they'll do better, and the president is listening because you know he's very very fair and very reasonable. So I think he's gonna work something out with them. It's not gonna be a pause. None of that pause stuff. But I think he's gonna figure out, you do more, and I'll meet you in the middle."
The fentanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to raise U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. Our countermeasures to defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate and necessary.
The U.S., not anyone else, is responsible for the #FentanylCrisis inside the U.S. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards the American people, we have taken robust steps to assist the U.S. in dealing with the issue. Instead of recognizing our efforts, the U.S. has sought to smear and shift blame to China, and is seeking to pressure and blackmail China with tariff hikes. They’ve been PUNISHING us for helping them. This is not going to solve the U.S.’s problem and will undermine our counternarcotics dialogue and cooperation.
Intimidation does not scare us. Bullying does not work on us. Pressuring, coercion or threats are not the right way of dealing with China. Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong guy and miscalculating. If the U.S. truly wants to solve the fentanyl issue, then the right thing to do is to consult with China by treating each other as equals.
If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.
When in crisis, print the money. Germany amended its constitution practically overnight to green light borrowing money for defence. Let this be instructive on how govts will choose to finance the new world order whatever it ends up looking like.
