Options markets are financial venues where traders buy and sell contracts that grant the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specified price by a certain date. In the cryptocurrency context, these contracts are based on digital assets like Bitcoin or Ether. Options provide tools for hedging risk or speculating on future price movements. Their pricing is influenced by factors such as volatility, time to expiration, and the underlying asset’s price.
