Blockchain.com just rolled out options trading for $BTC $ETH $SOL $HYPE $AVAX $XRP $TRX
Up to 1-week expiries. Pick your strike, date, size — app auto-structures the call/put. Funded upfront in USDC, premium = max loss. No early exit, hold till settlement.
This comes after they launched perps in April (powered by Hyperliquid infra) and filed for CFTC registration in October to bring regulated derivatives + prediction markets to the US.
If approved, US users could access futures, options, and event contracts directly through Blockchain.com.
They're clearly trying to own the full derivatives stack — spot, perps, now vanilla options. Interface is dumbed down for retail (3 clicks: direction, timing, size), but the real alpha is the CFTC play. If that clears, it's a massive onramp for US degen capital into structured products.
Keep an eye on this. Regulated options access = liquidity unlock.
