### What Are AVAX Options?

AVAX options are financial derivatives that give traders the **right, but not the obligation**, to buy or sell Avalanche (AVAX) at a set strike price before expiry.

* **Call options** → Bullish positioning on Avalanche’s price.
* **Put options** → Hedge spot AVAX or profit from downside moves.

Options enable **volatility trading, risk management, and structured strategies** with defined downside — unlike perpetuals, which carry liquidation risk.

***

### Expiration Dates Available

PowerTrade lists **AVAX options with expirations from 0DTE (same-day) up to 12 months forward**.

* **Short-dated expirations** (daily / weekly) → great for event-driven and momentum trading.
* **Longer expirations** (quarterly / yearly) → used for hedging or long-term positioning.
