Greeks.live: Block Options Trading Shows Institutional Investors Intensifying Hedge Against Bitcoin Downside Risks
On 19 March, Greeks.live Macro Researcher Adam posted on the X platform that there were only five large block orders today, all of which were Bitcoin-related trades. A number of large buy put option trades suggest that concerns about falling cryptocurrency prices are growing, particularly a buy risk reversal trade with a face value of $33,445,500, highlighting that institutional investors are actively hedging against downside risk.
In terms of trading strategies, some investors chose to sell put options, suggesting optimism about market stability or a willingness to buy assets at strike prices in the event of a price decline, reflecting a clear divergence in market views. From a risk management perspective, buying risk reversal strategies reflects a conservative view of upside potential while protecting against downside risk, suggesting that market uncertainty is increasing.
Adam concludes that today's block trades show that institutional investors are actively hedging their risk as concerns about falling cryptocurrency prices intensify, while some investors are selling options to gain royalties, a clear divergence in market sentiment.

BUZZ-AMC shares rise after completing $3.97 billion debt refinancing
On October 6, cinema chain AMC Entertainment (AMC.N) shares rose 3.5% to $2.89. AMC completed a $3.97 billions refinancing, covering about 97% of its debt. The transaction extends the maturity dates of nearly all its debt to October 2031 and October 2033, and reduces its capital costs. The company repaid its existing term loans and refinanced debt maturing in 2029, thereby simplifying its capital structure. AMC’s new loan structure includes $2 billions of first-lien notes maturing in 2031, $850 millions of first-lien term loans, and $1.12 billions of second-lien loans from the Deutsche Bank’s Special Situations Group. Proceeds from the deal will be used to repay several debts maturing in 2029 and 2027, as well as to provide loans to its subsidiary Odeon Finco. AMC has reported annual net losses every year since 2018, which has compounded its heavy debt burden and financing costs. As of the last trading day’s close, AMC shares have increased 83.65% so far this year.
