Key Takeaways:

  • Bitcoin options are a form of derivatives trading that involves price speculation, while Bitcoin spot trading concerns the buying and selling of BTC at its current market price.

  • Bitcoin options are executed at a predetermined price on or before an expiration date. Bitcoin spot settles immediately based on the agreed-upon market price.

  • Traders in Bitcoin options don’t need to own the underlying asset, whereas spot traders must own the asset in order to trade.
