📄 ETC Options Trading – Contract Specs, Strategies & Market Insights on PowerTrade

It is secured by proof-of-work (PoW) and has a strong following as a “sound money” smart contract platform. With ETC options on PowerTrade, traders can hedge, speculate, and capture volatility in one of the most historic Layer 1 blockchains. PowerTrade offers expirations up to 12 months, institutional RFQ block-trading, and retail-friendly order book execution.

What Are ETC Options?
ETC options are derivatives that grant the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell Ethereum Classic at a chosen strike price before expiry.
ETC Calls → Express bullish bets on ETC adoption and PoW sustainability.
ETC Puts → Hedge exposure or speculate on downside risks.
Unlike perpetuals, ETC options provide defined downside risk while enabling complex multi-leg strategies.
Expiration Dates Available
PowerTrade lists ETC options with 8 expirations, spanning 0DTE (same-day expiry) to 12 months forward.
Short-term ETC options → Useful for trading volatility around upgrades or macro sentiment.
Long-term ETC options → Hedge holdings or speculate on the sustained role of PoW smart contract chains.
