Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Around 26,700 Bitcoin options contracts will expire on Friday, April 10, with a notional value of roughly $1.9 billion. This event is smaller than usual and very similar to last week’s expiry, so it is unlikely to have any impact on spot markets.

Crypto prices have been climbing slowly this week, with around $90 billion being added to total capitalization since Monday.

Bitcoin Options Expiry
This week’s batch of Bitcoin options contracts has a put/call ratio of 0.71, meaning that there are more longs than shorts expiring. Max pain is around $69,000, according to Coinglass, which is lower than current spot prices, so many could be out of the money on expiry.



Open interest (OI), or the value or number of Bitcoin options contracts yet to expire, remains highest at the $80,000 strike price on Deribit, with $1.6 billion as bullish bets now become dominant.

Total $BTC options OI across all exchanges has fallen back following the end of the Q1 expiry event and is currently $34 billion.

200 USDT | Share Insights on 2026 Crypto Trends

Hong Kong has granted its first stablecoin issuer licenses. The initial batch is small and institutional, which sets a cautious tone.

Here’s what you need to know.

Bank-backed issuers dominate first approvals

The first stablecoin licenses went to Anchorpoint Financial and HSBC’s Hong Kong banking arm, both well-known TradFi players. Anchorpoint itself is backed by Standard Chartered, Animoca Brands, and HKT.

The initiative is happening under a new framework, led by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). Both entities are set to begin operations in the coming months.

These approvals are the formal launchpad for the city’s stablecoin regime, which took effect in August 2025.

They’re prioritizing entities with established compliance systems, capital backing, and regulatory respect.

HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue stated that the regime would provide –

An orderly operating environment... while ensuring robust user protection and effective risk management.

AMBCrypto previously reported that Hong Kong expanded its licensing regime to cover crypto dealers and custodians. This brought trading and asset storage under the same regulatory perimeter.

The announcement came after a delayed timeline

The HKMA had earlier stated that initial licenses could be issued as early as March. However, approvals only materialized in April.

This is in line with the regime itself, with its strict requirements on reserve backing, redemption mechanisms, governance, and AML controls. The framework also lays out enforcement powers, including fines and license revocations.

Institutions first, broader access later?

In the near term, Hong Kong’s stablecoin market is likely to remain held by institutional players. Limited licenses and stringent compliance thresholds will slow participation from crypto-native firms.

It will certainly increase trust and stability among the masses,

Stablecoin FX nears 'institutional-grade' parity with bank rails in LATAM and East Africa: report
Borderless data shows stablecoin FX is reaching parity with traditional rails in key corridors.

LATAM markets now exhibit “institutional-grade” pricing with near-zero execution costs, while East Africa is seeing rapid compression in spreads as provider competition intensifies, per the payment infrastructure firm.
Stablecoin-based foreign exchange continues to transition from a mere niche workaround to production infrastructure across key emerging markets across Africa and Latin America, as exchange rates between stablecoins and local currencies compress, according to a new report. 

Fourteen of 21 tracked blockchain-based currencies were within 100 basis points of interbank rates by March, analysts from payment infrastructure provider Borderless wrote. Trading close to interbank rates refers to the exchange rate banks pay when buying or selling a local currency, and within 100 basis points means the price slips no more than 1%.

The firm’s Q1 dataset — built on more than 1.1 million rate observations across 51 currencies — points to a shift already underway: the decision to route payments over stablecoins is no longer theoretical, but increasingly practical.

Strategy’s near $2 billion profit on Bitcoin is eclipsed by huge losses SEC filing shows

Strategy's dashboard touts BTC Gain, but fair value accounting shows a $14.46 billion unrealized loss for the quarter ended March 31.
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is claiming its aggressive Bitcoin purchases have yielded a nearly $2 billion gain this year despite the top asset's clear price struggles.

However, a close look at the enterprise software company's legally binding regulatory filings tells a much redder story: under standard accounting rules, the firm is nursing a multi-billion dollar unrealized loss, and its aggregate Bitcoin stack sits firmly underwater.

Despite the paper losses, the company shows no signs of slowing. Armed with a highly liquid capital markets engine, Strategy continues to issue equity to fund massive daily purchases, completely unfazed by the disconnect between its curated corporate dashboard and its sobering regulatory reality.

By its own metrics, Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury playbook is flawless despite the prevailing bear market situation in the broader crypto market.

On X, the company said its BTC purchasing strategy has generated nearly $1.7 billion in Bitcoin gains since January this year.
That metric caps off a historic accumulation streak that has fundamentally warped the crypto market's supply dynamics.

Notably, Strategy disclosed that it has acquired an astonishing 2.2 times the newly mined Bitcoin supply over the period. This equates to more than 94,000 BTC since the beginning of the year.

To quantify this, Strategy's management points to two proprietary metrics: “BTC Yield” and “BTC Gain.” Strategy reports achieving a BTC Yield of 3.7% this year, generating a BTC Gain of 24,675 coins (roughly $1.7 billion).
