๐จ BINANCE NOW PAYS YOU TO SELL OPTIONS โ BUT WHAT ARE YOU GIVING UP?
Binance just launched Covered Calls and Cash-Secured Puts for stock options
Both let you collect premiums
But here's what most traders overlook ๐
You're not collecting free yield. You're accepting an obligation
$BNB ๐ Covered Call
You own shares and sell a Call
If assigned, you sell those shares at the strike price โ even if the market has rallied much higher
๐ Cash-Secured Put
You lock USDC and sell a Put
If assigned, you must buy the shares at the strike price โ even if they've crashed below it
โ ๏ธ The premium only cushions part of the risk
Collateral stays locked until the position is closed, expires or gets assigned
And early assignment is possible
๐ My decision filter
Before selling either option, I'd ask:
Would I still accept that stock trade at the strike price without the premium?
If the answer is no, the income might be disguising a trade I never wanted to make
The real edge isn't collecting premiums โ it's choosing obligations you can afford to honor
