As of pixel time (12:21 PM UTC), ETH is trading at about USD 176, up 2.6% in a day and 4.7% over the past 7 days. Bitcoin (BTC), meanwhile, is up 7% over the past 7 days, and is up by 2.7% in the past 24 hours.
The massive trades were first highlighted by CEO of Three Arrows Capital Su Zhu, who on Twitter shared a screenshot which highlighted ethereum options contracts for nearly ETH 9,000 (USD 1.57 million) expiring in March on Deribit Exchange.
