Ethereum options markets are showing a bullish trend with call options making up over 60% of the $6.92 billion open interest as of May 20, 2026. This indicates traders expect the price of Ethereum to rise, though there is still significant put volume reflecting some hedging activity. The largest open interest is concentrated around key strike prices like $2,100 puts and $2,500 and $3,200 calls, signaling defined upside targets and downside protection. Most trading activity occurs on offshore crypto exchanges like Deribit and Bybit, with regulated U.S. options on CME playing a smaller role. This positioning suggests a constructive but cautious market outlook for Ethereum in the near to medium term.
