Key takeaways
- Blockchain.com now offers call and put options on BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, AVAX, XRP and TRX
- Expiries run up to one week
- The launch comes as the company pursues US derivatives licenses
- Short-dated contracts point to a trader-focused product
Blockchain.com now has crypto options. You can trade calls and puts on seven tokens: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, AVAX, XRP and TRX.
What's on offer
Expiries top out at one week. That's short, and it tells you who this is for: traders who want quick, defined-risk bets on price moves, not people hedging for the long haul.
The token list is wider than I'd expect from a first launch. BTC and ETH are the obvious picks. But HYPE, the Hyperliquid token, is in there too, along with AVAX, XRP and TRX.
The US angle
The company is also chasing US derivatives licenses, per The Block's report. Which licenses, and when a decision might land? We don't know. Treat the US timeline as open.
Why it matters
Options are a big step up in complexity from spot trading, and you can lose your entire premium fast. One-week expiries make that sting sharper. If you're tempted, learn exactly how time decay works before you click anything.
Zoom out and it's one more exchange moving into derivatives and going after regulated status to do it. The real question is whether those US licenses come through, and whether American users would get the same menu of tokens if they do.
