Introducing Fully-Funded OTC Options on the Crypto.com Exchange

We are excited to introduce Fully Funded OTC Options, a sophisticated addition to our institutional offerings on the Crypto.com Exchange. 

For the first time, foundations and VIP clients can trade vanilla European options directly through our professional sales traders in a secure, off-orderbook environment. 

The OTC Advantage 

Historically, trading large option blocks on-chain or on public books resulted in high slippage and information leakage. Through Fully Funded OTC Options, we are providing a private venue where users can execute bespoke contracts that align with their portfolio requirements and horizons. 

What are Fully Funded OTC Options? 

They are European-style vanilla contracts that are settled physically upon expiry. 

• Bespoke Tenors: Customize your expiry dates up to 3 months to match your specific strategy
• 100% Collateralized: Sellers reserve the underlying or strike currency upfront, eliminating liquidation risk
• Physical Settlement: At expiry, in-the-money (ITM) positions result in the seamless transfer of assets between accounts

Featured Capabilities: 

• USD Options: Ideal for foundations seeking to earn yield on spot holdings by selling covered calls
• Easy Quoting: Request quotes directly via our dedicated Telegram and Slack trading channels
• Personalized Booking: Our team handles the manual booking and confirmation via the secure Sales Portal
• Transparent Settlement: Automated ITM/OTM determination using exchange index prices

Disclaimer: Product availability subject to jurisdictional limitations. Trading digital assets and derivatives involves risk and may result in the loss of capital. Crypto.com reserves the right to modify or discontinue product features at its discretion. Fully Funded OTC Options are available only to eligible institutional and VIP users. Physical settlement requires sufficient balance in the designated sub-account at the time of expiry. Failure to maintain required underlying quantities for Put options may result in non-exercise. Participants should perform their own due diligence before trading.
