Options Trading

Definition

‘Options Trading’ involves the buying and selling of contracts that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price before a certain expiration date. These derivative instruments offer flexibility for hedging or speculative strategies. Within the digital asset market, options trading allows participants to manage price risk or profit from anticipated market movements without directly owning the underlying cryptocurrency. This activity introduces a layer of financial engineering to the crypto landscape.
