What Options Do That Perps Can't? 🧠

Perps dominate crypto trading for good reason, but $ETH and $BTC traders know that sophisticated risk management goes beyond a single instrument.

A stop loss on a perp is an exit instruction, not protection.

It fills at the worst tick of a wick and hands the recovery to someone else, though it was a correct thesis the timing was wrong and the trade is over.

Options solve this differently.

A protective put caps the loss at entry and leaves the upside fully open so the position survives the wick. Funding on a ranging position bleeds a correct thesis dry. An options structure can collect premium upfront instead, turning the wait into income.

Three things options do that perps alone cannot: cap a loss before entry, generate income while waiting for a move, and define both sides of a trade for close to zero net cost.

On Aevo, all three are available in one tap through PERPS+, applied directly to a $BTC or ETH perp position at entry with no options knowledge required.
