Custom Cryptocurrency Options Trading

Crypto Options Trading

Strategies can be uniquely configured by adjusting strike prices, maturities and quantities to achieve the desired payoff profile objectives. Custom-built swaps and options strategies provide a better match than listed products on exchanges for many in the digital asset ecosystem. Additionally, the single-day expiration date of exchange products means traders need to deal with the volatility of the expiry day, which could be prone to emotional sentiment or other non-economic factors. A single-day hedge is likely too short in duration for crypto native institutions to properly protect the value of their outputs or market exposure.

• Combination Option Strategies: Risk Reversals combine Protective Puts and Call Overwrites to provide traders with limited downside exposure and retained upside exposure at low cost or even a premium to the trader
• Trade Call Overwrites: Selling high strike calls yields the option’s premium from the sale as a payment to the counterparty
