Bullish collaborated closely with some of the industry’s largest options market-makers, technology providers, and brokers during the design phase to create a product tailored to institutional needs and aimed at resolving the common challenges of trading crypto options. By working alongside these leading trading partners, Bullish has ensured that the platform will offer deep liquidity, sharp pricing, and a seamless trading experience from day one. The launch of options trading will initially focus on Bitcoin, with plans to expand to Ether and multi-asset indices in the near future, providing institutional customers outside the U.S. with more opportunities to manage and tailor risk in a regulated, capital-efficient environment.
