Most crypto traders only know spot and perps. That’s a mistake. I finally spent time learning crypto options on Derive.xyz, and it’s one of the most underused tools in this market. Simple example: You’re long 1 BTC, bullish long-term, but don’t want to panic through a short-term drawdown. You buy a protective put. Downside is capped during the bar. Upside stays open unlike a perp short since you don't get liquidated for more than the cost. Your max loss is known in advance. This lets you hold spot through all the bear market drops without panic selling. Options are already massive in TradFi. In new financial markets like crypto, they always mature last. We’re already seeing: • Institutions driving options volume to ATHs • Volatility harvesting replacing Old “yield” strategies • Spot and perps infra reaching full saturation This is where crypto trading is heading. Just scratching the surface in this video 👇
