Options Do Something No Perp Can 📊
$BTC and $ETH perp traders understand leverage, liquidation, and funding rates. Most have never made an options trade, not because they lack the skill, but because the interface always looked like a second exam.
Options break a symmetry perps cannot: a long call or put carries unlimited upside and a fixed downside. The max loss is the premium paid, known before entry, and not subject to liquidation. A perp in the same direction profits and loses in equal measure with no floor.
There is also a second direction that perps do not offer: a trader who expects price to stay range-bound can sell premium: collect payment upfront and profit if the view holds. That trade does not exist in the perpetual market.
Options Easy Mode is now live on Aevo to make the entry of perp traders to options easier.
The instrument was always capable, and Easy Mode is what made it accessible.
