Options will soon be the next perps 👀
Markets do not need options on day one; they need them when traders start planning around a position they intend to keep, and I think $AEVO and $DRV are entering that stage now.
Simply going long or short no longer covers every need, some holders want downside protection without exiting the position, and others want to collect premium while they wait.
Bitcoin and Ethereum developed that demand first, followed by HYPE and now SOL.
The remaining challenge is giving those traders more control without making options feel like a separate world.
Aevo for example now offers calls and puts across four assets.
Traders choose the strike and expiry from the same account and collateral pool used for their perps, and that makes a more precise payoff accessible without moving the portfolio elsewhere.
For DeFi markets, this is what maturity looks like to me 🔥
