What Are ADA Options?
ADA options are derivatives that give you the right but not the obligation to buy or sell Cardano at a chosen strike price before expiry.
Call options → Bet on ADA price appreciation.
Put options → Protect against downside or profit from a correction.
Options allow traders to hedge, trade volatility, and structure payoff profiles with defined downside — unlike perpetuals, which carry liquidation risk.
Expiration Dates Available
PowerTrade offers ADA options with expirations ranging from 0DTE to 12 months.
Short-dated expirations (daily / weekly) → suited for short-term moves and event-driven trades.
Longer-dated expirations (up to 1 year) → ideal for hedging portfolios or building strategic option structures.
