The Trump Put trade is losing steam. As political capital continues to drain, the hedging pressure that once drove demand for these options has cooled significantly. Traders who positioned themselves around political risk premiums are now reassessing their exposure as the initial market excitement fades. The options volume has visibly tapered, signaling a shift in market sentiment and risk appetite. This pullback could reshape how participants price political-related volatility in crypto markets going forward—a reminder that even unconventional trades eventually face reversion when the underlying narrative loses momentum.

Damn, it's another political pump and dump. After all the hype, it all ends up falling.

It's another cycle of the usual pattern where the chives get harvested and then the scammers run away—so damn annoying. Trump Put was always a political gamble, and now that the hype has died down, the true nature is exposed. Serves those trend-followers right for losing money.

Trump Put dropped so quickly, I should have known not to chase it...

Another show of narrative fading away. Watching the heat of these political bets cool down is quite satisfying.

nah, the trump put was always just narrative trading dressed up fancy. once the hype cycle dies, everyone scrambles for the exits—classic market behavior tbh.
