The Role of Derivatives in Bitcoin's Growth
The introduction of more Bitcoin derivatives is predicted to significantly impact the market dynamics, including price and volatility. Derivatives, particularly options, are essential for institutional investors to manage risks and make substantial allocations. Without the ability to hedge investments through derivatives, institutional interest may be stymied, limiting Bitcoin's potential for substantial growth. This transition from retail-driven growth to one that includes institutional capital is vital for moving Bitcoin's market cap beyond $1.2 trillion.
