BitMEX Exchange is considering launching Bitcoin options

Big BitMEX Exchange is considering the possibility of launching Bitcoin options. This was the head of the trading platform Arthur Hayes told during an interview with analyst and trader Luke Martin.

“We hope that, perhaps, after 12-18 months, we will have our own option platform ,” said Hayes.

According to him, BitMEX employees develop new financial products together with leading experts and “university professors”.

An option is a futures contract giving the right to purchase in the future a certain amount of an asset at a predetermined price. Like futures, options provide an opportunity to hedge the risks associated with price fluctuations of the underlying asset.
