Custom Cryptocurrency Options
Tailor-made options strategies for crypto-native firms.
Custom Built
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, the single-day expiration date of these 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.

- Put and call options can be bought or sold through GSR and margined & settled in either fiat or crypto
- Trade Swaps: Swaps allow counterparts to sell short their crypto, benefiting from negative price moves and hedging their inventory
- Trade Protective Puts: Protective Puts are ideal for counterparts who want limited downside price exposure, but still want full exposure to any upside price movements
