It looks like the year-end fireworks are being fueled by SOL, XRP, and, yes, even TRUMP, as traders start shouting “to the moon!” on crypto options and derivatives, according to PowerTrade. 🌙✨

“People are placing bets for an altcoin season-fancy that!-with end-of-December call options for everything from AEVO to ZRO,” said Bernd Sischka, co-founder at PowerTrade. Basically, everyone’s betting the farm that this rally isn’t just a blip. 🚀

In August, they clocked over a billion dollars in trades, and most of that-roughly 68%-were calls. Translation: investors are more optimistic than a kid on Christmas morning. A call option’s basically the hype badge signifying “Yeah, I think it’s gonna go up.”

Solana is again in the spotlight, with traders throwing big money into calls for September and December. Looks like SOL’s gearing up for a breakout, or at least that’s the hopeful thesis. 🤞

XRP? Yeah, it’s got some serious momentum with chunky block trades on December calls. Everyone’s waiting on either regulatory clarity or some kind of miracle. The dance begins! 💃

Meanwhile, traders are spreading massive call spreads on TRUMP options – because nothing says “volatile” like betting on a punchline. 🥊

Meme coins like Doge and Pepe are getting their fair share of retail love, but institutional players are quietly sniffing out bigger opportunities, especially in WIF and other more stable altcoins. Shhh… don’t tell everyone. 🤫

PowerTrade says institutions are now big players in this game, requesting quotes on volatility for Bitcoin and Ethereum while dabbling in large trades that mix hedge moves with pure gambling. The stars are aligning for an epic alt season as the Fed stays steady, and liquidity returns-basically, it’s a crypto casino, and everyone’s betting big. 🎰

All in all, the market’s buzzing with whispers of gains beyond just Bitcoin and Ether. Retail and institutions alike are preparing for a wild ride in the altcoin circus over the next few months. 🎢

Sure, PowerTrade isn’t as huge as Deribit, but that’s kind of the point. They focus on smaller, spicier altcoins-your chance to hedge, hedge, hedge, and maybe even make some money while you’re at it. Because why not gamble on the underdog? 🐶🐸
