AVAX contracts are now available for Strike Options in the Crypto.com App, in addition to Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Dogecoin (DOGE).
Strike Options are a CFTC-regulated crypto derivatives product which allows you to potentially profit in just 20 minutes by predicting whether the price of an underlying asset will be higher than the strike price at the time of expiry.
Trades are expressed as straightforward yes/no decisions, where selecting ‘Yes’ is a prediction that the underlying asset will exceed the strike price, and choosing ‘No’ predicts it will not. You can trade BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, DOGE, and AVAX as underlying assets with as little as US$10, and contract durations as short as 20 minutes. That’s really all there is to it.
Strike Options are currently only available for users in the US, but they will be available in other jurisdictions soon. Watch this space for more updates from us.
