Bitcoin options traders are locking up millions of dollars in anticipation of the U.S. election. Deribit began trading election expiry options a month ago with a notional open interest, or the dollar value of the number of active options contracts, of $345.83 million, according to Amberdata.

Call options, which offer an unlimited upside payoff potential at the expense of limited loss, accounted for 67% of the total open interest. The rest came from put options, amounting to a put-call ratio of less than 0.50. In other words, twice as many calls were open as puts, reflecting bullish expectations from the outcome of the elections.

State Street is partnering with digital asset custodian Taurus for its tokenization plans with the intention of extending to crypto custody once the U.S. regulatory environment improves.

State Street, which has $44.3 trillion in assets under management, began planning for its tokenization efforts in 2021 and plans to go live with tokenized versions of traditional assets such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and fixed-income instruments this year. The firm is also working on tokenizing private assets.

The bank has been “very vocal” about the need to change SAB 121, which could force banks seeking to hold crypto to maintain an onerous amount of capital to compensate for the risk, Donna Milrod, chief product officer and head of Digital Asset Solutions, said in an interview. “While we're starting with tokenization, that's not where we're ending. As soon as the U.S. regulations help us out, we will be providing digital custody services as well."
