Glassnode: Bitcoin index reflects strong demand for put options, indicating active institutional hedging activity

BlockBeats News, on September 8, Glassnode posted on social media that the Bitcoin 25 Delta Skew Index (1-month term) continues to climb to historical highs, reflecting strong demand for put options. This is not purely a bearish market signal, but often indicates active institutional hedging activity. With the rise of Bitcoin ETFs and Digital Asset Trusts (DATs), institutions are entering the market in large numbers—while gaining risk exposure, they are managing downside risk through put options.
