Binance opens the "Bitcoin Options Writing" feature to all users

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Binance announced the opening of Bitcoin options writing functionality to all users, along with the addition of Ethereum (ETH), BNB, and Solana (SOL) options contracts, offering a 20% trading fee discount for the new contracts. Data shows that from 2020 to June 2025, the trading volume of the Bitcoin options market grew by over 3200%, reaching $138.76 billion, reflecting a surge in demand for complex derivative tools from both institutional and retail investors.

Binance's Vice President of Products, Jeff Li, stated that this move aims to meet users' needs for risk management and yield enhancement tools, and the company will continue to improve its derivatives ecosystem in the future.

ChainCatcher notes that options writing, also known as option selling, refers to the act of investors selling options contracts, collecting premiums, and assuming corresponding risks and obligations. In simple terms, it means that investors "lend" options instead of "buying" options.
