After breaking below the multi-month range, BTC is currently testing its February lows. Options data reveals relevant information about position distribution, volatility expectations, and market sentiment.

June 5 news, it is reported that New Huo Group's compliant asset management product Alpha BTC performed steadily during the sharp market correction starting in June (BTC falling from $74,000 to $61,000). Through refined options hedging strategies, it not only effectively resisted downside risks but also achieved stable BTC-based returns. Alpha BTC is the first Bitcoin-denominated asset management product filed under the SFC’s Type 9 license framework. The core advantage of this product lies in using BTC spot and IBIT ETF as the base holdings, and enhancing BTC returns by earning premiums through far-end options. Data from 2025 to 2026 shows that this strategy can achieve BTC-denominated annualized enhanced real returns of 6%-8% in both bull and bear markets, and possesses robust risk management and drawdown control. During this recent market correction, the strategy not only met its defensive targets but also recorded double-digit short-term returns, once again proving the resilience of this asset allocation model in different market environments.
