Settling via futures at expiration rather than spot is a pretty interesting design—it reduces delivery complexity.

Latin America’s largest stock exchange has already been rolling out SOL options—this is moving faster than I expected.

The trading hours from 9:00 to 18:30 aren’t very friendly for Asian players.

Traditional exchanges moving into options should have more stable liquidity than DEXs.

B3 made a brilliant move—siphoning off the crypto hype while avoiding the hot potato of dealing with custody.
