They are listed as a subsection of the underlying asset with different types (Call and Put), expiry months, and strike prices.

Can I make more profit from trading Crypto Options rather than the asset itself?

Yes you can.

Crypto Options, by nature, have higher impulse movements than their underlying crypto assets, which makes them more volatile. Add the already volatile nature of cryptocurrencies, and you have an increased opportunity of making huge returns compared with trading traditional options alone.

Additionally, traditional cryptocurrencies are prone to extended periods of price consolidations, which can make trading them relatively less profitable at those times. Trading the more volatile Crypto Options during these periods allows you to earn more profit.

Can I leverage trade with Crypto Options?

Leverage trading is available on StormGain for Crypto Options. Although it is important to note that Crypto Options are extremely volatile by themselves, even compared with traditional Crypto assets. Therefore, we advise that you be extremely cautious using leverage while trading Crypto Options.
