Bloomberg senior ETF analyst James Seyffart's monitoring data shows that the final statistics on the first day of BlackRock's IBIT options listing indicate a notional exposure slightly below $1.9 billion through 354,000 contract trades, of which 82% were call options (289,000) and 18% were put options (65,000), a ratio of 4.4:1.
