#比特币与黄金战争 After the Christmas holiday, the crypto market shows slight adjustments, with Bitcoin fluctuating around $87,000.

Market snapshot on December 26: BTC at $87,115, down less than 1%; Ethereum at $2,897, down 1.68%; SOL has fallen below the $120 mark. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has retreated to $3.021 trillion. The market remains calm, but a huge variable is about to arrive.

**A Historic Options Feast**

Today, Bitcoin options face an unprecedented expiration day — 300,000 BTC options contracts are expiring simultaneously, with a notional value of up to $23.7 billion. Coupled with Ethereum options worth $8.5 billion, the total options expiration amount for the two main cryptocurrencies reaches $28.5 billion. This volume is twice that of the same period last year.

The market generally expects this influx of capital to break the current calm, with prices either rising or falling, but never remaining uneventful.

**Altcoin Frenzy**

While mainstream coins hesitate, some smaller tokens are lively:

BIFI leads the rally, surging 78% in 24 hours to $238; ZBT follows closely, up 55.2%; 0G rises 29.3%; ACT and LAYER see slight increases.

On the downside: METIS drops 12.8%, BANANA and DOLO fall 12% and 10%, respectively.

This is a typical reflection of market divergence — the big ship remains steady, while small boats are tossing.
