Fellow Binancians,
We're excited to announce that the upgraded Binance Options platform is now live, delivering faster execution, greater flexibility, and enhanced tools to support your advanced trading strategies. At the core of this upgrade is a major enhancement, ETH Options writing.
ETH Options Writing: Now Open to All Users
ETH Options writing is now available to all users, unlocking powerful new ways to trade:
Express market views: Capitalize on volatility with options-writing strategies.
Enhance yields: Generate income through covered calls or cash-secured puts.
Hedge risk: Help protect your portfolios against downside movements.
To get started, upgrade your account to the "Long & Short Sell" trading mode on the Binance Options trading page.
Other Upgraded Features:
Beyond ETH Options writing, this upgrade also includes:
Higher API Throughput: Execute orders faster with improved infrastructure.
Expanded Strikes: Access a wider range of contracts across multiple assets.
Advanced Market Data: Use differentiated WebSocket streams for deeper market insights.
Why Trade Binance Options:
Stablecoin-Denominated Options
All Binance Options are priced and settled in stablecoins (currently in USDT only), making cost and profit calculations more straightforward than coin-margined options with volatile collateral.
Competitive Fees
As the world's largest crypto exchange, Binance partners with sophisticated market makers to offer competitive fees and tight bid/ask spreads. Enjoy a 20% discount on both taker and maker trading fees across all VIP levels on newly listed Options contracts.
Flexible Strategies
Use options writing to express directional views, hedge spot or futures exposure, or generate yield through covered calls and cash-secured puts.
Important Notes:
Options writing access for BNB, XRP, SOL, and DOGE remains limited to selected users at this time.
Users must upgrade to the "Long & Short Sell" trading mode on the Binance Options Trading Page to access options writing.
Binance Options Enhanced Program: Users with over 100,000,000 USDT trading volume in the past 30 days and asset balance above 1,000,000 USDT are eligible to apply. Contact futures-business@binance.com or your Key Account Coverage Manager for details.
