Bitcoin News said in a post on X that institutions can now build larger bitcoin positions through IBIT options after the contract limit reached 1 million. According to the post, the higher limit lifts capacity for hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and market makers to hedge exposure or express market views through the product to about four times the previous level. The statement also said the change shows IBIT options have reached a scale and liquidity profile large enough to receive the same treatment as other actively traded exchange-traded funds. The update points to broader room for professional participants to use the product for positioning and risk management, based on the source statement cited by Odaily.
