Options market

An option is a financial contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset (like stocks or cryptocurrency) at a specific price (called the strike price) before or on a certain date (called Expiry date). There are two types of options:

  • Call option: Gives the holder the right to buy the asset.
  • Put option: Gives the holder the right to sell the asset.

Options are often used for hedging risk or for speculation on price movements.

An option chain is a table or list that displays all available options contracts for a particular asset, such as a stock or cryptocurrency, at various strike prices and expiration dates. It provides details for both call options and put options, allowing traders to compare pricing and make informed decisions.
