What Are ICP Options?
ICP options are derivatives that give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell ICP at a set strike price before expiry.
ICP Calls → Profit from upside in Internet Computer adoption.
ICP Puts → Hedge downside or speculate on pullbacks.
Unlike perpetual futures, ICP options let traders structure payoff profiles with defined downside risk.
Expiration Dates Available
PowerTrade lists ICP options with 8 expirations, ranging from 0DTE (same-day expiry) to 12 months forward.
Short-term ICP options → Capture volatility around ecosystem news, governance proposals, or integrations.
Long-term ICP options → Hedge or speculate on the multi-year adoption of on-chain web applications.
