Hedera (HBAR) contracts are now available for Strike Options in the Crypto.com App, in addition to Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ether (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (LINK), and more.
Strike Options are a CFTC-regulated crypto derivatives product which allows you to potentially profit during a 20 minute period 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 more as underlying assets with as little as $10, and during a 20 minute period. That’s really all there is to it.
Strike Options is currently only available for users in the US, but it will be available in other jurisdictions soon. Watch this space for more updates from us.
