PANews reported on September 4th that Gate Research Institute stated that risk aversion has intensified in the market since September. Historical data shows that September is typically the worst performing month of the year for European and American stock markets, and Bitcoin has only achieved positive returns in September four times in the past twelve years.

Options trading volume declined significantly this week. Bitcoin fell below $108,000 on Monday before stabilizing and rebounding, with $110,000 becoming a key battleground. Ethereum's upward momentum has weakened, but implied volatility remains elevated. Coin holders can profit from the volatility premium by selling call options. For example, selling an ETH call option (ETH-250926-5000-C) with a strike price of $5,000 and expiring at the end of September would yield an annualized return of nearly 45%.

Currently, Gate has launched USDT-settled options for mainstream assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, TON, ADA, LTC, and supports cross-currency margin and combined margin mechanisms to better meet the needs of options investors and institutional traders.
