Introducing the New Binance Options Trading Platform: Extend Your Crypto Trading Strategy with Crypto Options

Fellow Binancians,

To allow users to optimize trading opportunities, Binance is launching the new Binance Options trading platform on 2022-09-13 (UTC), available on both the Binance Website and the Binance App. Binance will list ETH options at the launch, which are priced and settled in USDT.

Highlights of the New Binance Options Trading Platform

• Low Fees and High Liquidity

Users may gain access to one of the lowest Options fees in the market (i.e. 0.02% transaction fees and 0.015% exercise fees) and deep liquidity via the new Binance Options trading platform.

• Low Capital Requirement

Users only have to pay the required Options Premium to get the same exposure as holding an equivalent Futures or Spot position. As such, Binance Options are a great alternative for users to amplify trading results due to the lower capital requirements upfront.

• Settlement in Stablecoin

Binance Options are priced and settled in USDT. This makes PNL calculations straightforward for investors even during periods of high volatility.

Ethereum Merge Fork Policy*:

Binance will not impose adjustments on the strike prices of ETH Options in the event of a Fork. ETH Options listed before and after the Merge will follow standard settlement procedure and will be based on the USDT value of Proof-of-Stake ETH.

* Please Note: Binance reserves the right in its sole discretion to amend or change the Ethereum Merge Fork Policy, listing cycle and strike interval provisions as it deems appropriate.
