USDT-margined options offer both regular trading and RFQ trading services. For regular trading, traders can choose to price in two ways: pricing in USDT (USDT orders), and pricing in implied volatility (IV orders).
USDT Orders
USDT orders are option orders priced in USDT. If you want to buy an option for a fixed amount of USDT, you can place an order by selecting a USDT order.
IV Orders
IV orders are orders where the implied volatility remains constant. The pricing is done based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Please note that prices are refreshed once per 6 seconds.
Request for Quote (RFQ)
If the depth or price of the floor does not meet your options trading needs, you can request a quote and trade by using the RFQ feature. Learn more about RFQ.
