In terms of digital currencies, BTC/ETH fluctuated around 38000/2050 respectively, closing slightly down to 37815.36 (-0.803%) / 2034.97 (-1.16%). In terms of implied volatility, except for a slight decrease of about 1.5% Vol in the late option IV, there are no significant changes in the other tenors.

From a trading perspective, BTC bullish strategy trading was still hot at the end of December, with representative examples including the ratio of Buy 40,000 vs Sell 45,000, and the 36,000-40,000-44,000 Sell Fly. ETH is also dominated by bullish strategies, but the distribution of transactions has shifted to forwards. Among them, the call spread/triangular spread in March vs. June has become a trading hot spot; in addition, there are many Call Spread strategies betting on the SEC in January. To a certain extent, this flow also causes Januarys forward IV to continue to maintain a steeper slope relative to the end of the year, reflecting the markets expectations for a further return of volatility after the start of the year.
