Gate Research Institute: September historically performs poorly, Ethereum options covered call strategy is in focus.

PANews September 4 news, Gate Research Institute stated that as September begins, market risk aversion is rising. Historical data shows that September is usually 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. The large trades of options in this period have significantly retreated. After Bitcoin fell below $108,000 on Monday, it stabilized and rose again, with $110,000 becoming a key battleground. The upward momentum of Ethereum has weakened, but the implied volatility remains high. For coin holders, they can obtain volatility premium by selling call options, such as selling the ETH call option (ETH-250926-5000-C) with a strike price of $5,000 expiring at the end of September, corresponding to an annualized yield of nearly 45%. Currently, Gate has launched USDT settled options for mainstream assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, TON, ADA, and LTC, and supports cross-coin margin and portfolio margin mechanisms to better meet the needs of options investors and institutional traders.
