Crypto Market Fluctuates as $13.5 Billion Options Expire on Deribit

A major event is unfolding in the crypto market as $13.5 billion in options expire on Deribit, the largest single settlement of Q1 2026. This development is expected to cause a reset in the market and potentially trigger a bullish move.

The expiry coincides with the same day the SEC faces a deadline on 91 crypto ETF applications. According to analysts, $75,000 could be the max pain level acting as a price magnet, and breaking above it may lead to a significant upswing.

Pepeto is positioned to benefit from this market shift, offering a presale with real products behind it. The exchange has already raised over $8 million at an extremely fast capital flow, with analysts projecting 100x returns from its Binance listing approaching.
