DOT and LINK contracts are now available on UpDown Options in the Crypto.com App, in addition to Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ether (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC) and Avalanche (AVAX). 

UpDown Options are the first CFTC-regulated crypto derivatives product that gives users the tools to capture value in all market conditions, allowing them to maximize profit and minimize losses, trade with lower costs, and hedge against price dips. 

Traders can choose to buy or sell an UpDown Option depending on which direction they believe the market will go. Users can trade BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, DOGE, AVAX, DOT and LINK on four available contracts each depending on their risk appetite, seven days a week. UpDown Options are currently only available to users in the US but will be available in other jurisdictions soon.

About DOT

Polkadot (DOT) is a blockchain interoperability protocol that aims to realize data exchange across different chains. Its mission is to build a completely decentralized internet where users are in control, namely, the Web3. Co-founded by the Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot has established one of the most famous architectures to connect independent L1 blockchains for exchanging information in a trustless way. As the native token of the network, DOT serves three distinct purposes: governance over the network, staking and bonding.

Its ecosystem currently powers 1,000 project integrations with 700 oracle networks, giving access to over 1B data points and securing over US$75 billion in value for DeFi applications like Synthetix, Aave, and Compound, among others.
