Not enough crypto people realize the opportunity gap between perps and options
For context, options trade 3x more contracts than futures in Tradfi
In crypto, perps do 238x more volume than options do
Perps all time volume: $18T
Options all time volume: $75.5B
Perps do 9x the all time volume of crypto onchain options, in 30days. That's insane to me
But the reason was clear, perps found PMF faster, while options platforms still struggled with fragmented liquidity and complicated UIs
But I do believe the gap will close in, we are seeing good progress with RFQ models and clean UIs like @paradex introduced earlier this year
Volumes are growing, more crypto natives try it and stay for it
The biggest winners will be the early builders and creators

There's been a lot of discussion lately about the lack of innovation in crypto.
Meanwhile, we've been working on something we believe brings a genuinely new primitive to DeFi.
It's one of the most exciting products we've built to date.
Looking forward to sharing more soon 👀

After years of building in the space, we’re sharing our view on how the market actually works, what makes it sustainable, and why improving capital efficiency could be the next major unlock. x.com/i/article/2102…

So bullish onchain options I’m getting palpitations. I think they’re the biggest missing unlock in the onchain asset stack.View quoted post on X
We’re building spot liquidity, borrow markets and distribution around the same assets. The constraint running through all three is who’s willing to warehouse the risk, at what price, and for how long.
LPs already carry inventory risk. Holders want yield. Traders want convexity. Options create a market between those needs: holders can sell upside, traders can buy exposure or protection, and dealers can hedge inventory.
That can change the economics of supporting an asset onchain. More risk capacity can support better execution; better execution makes larger positions and lending markets more viable; distribution can package those capabilities into products people actually want to hold.
Attracting deposits into an options yield product is only half the equation, though. That yield comes from traders paying for exposure or hedgers paying for protection. The market becomes sustainable when those buyers keep coming back because the product is useful. Get that right and options can support durable demand across the entire market around an asset.
