Now that we’ve explained how to trade Binance Options, why not give it a try?
Binance Options give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying cryptocurrency at an agreed-upon price and a predetermined date. By only paying the required Options Premium, you get the same exposure as holding an equivalent Futures or Spot position. With lower capital requirement, capped predetermined losses limited to options premium, Binance Options are a great alternative for you to amplify your trading results and enhance your portfolio.
