CoinSwitch, a crypto trading platform with over 20 million users, has officially launched Crypto Options—a groundbreaking move that redefines crypto derivatives trading in the country. With a focus on lowest-in-industry trading fees, real-time settlement, and 24×7 access, CoinSwitch is opening up powerful tools once reserved for professional traders to every Indian investor.
The new Crypto Options feature is designed to provide users with flexible, low-barrier access to advanced trading strategies. Users can now buy (call) or sell (put) crypto assets at predetermined prices, with multiple expiry options that are significantly more flexible than traditional equity derivatives.
“Crypto options open up a whole new world of trading opportunities, whether you’re looking to hedge your portfolio or make the most of market volatility,” said Balaji Srihari, Vice President at CoinSwitch.
Key Features of CoinSwitch Crypto Options
Ultra-Low Trading Fees: Starting at just 0.015%, CoinSwitch now offers the lowest fee structure in the global crypto options market. This allows users to maximize their profits without worrying about excessive overhead.
Multiple Expiry Options: Traders can choose from 11 expiry options, including daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly, offering unmatched flexibility for both short-term and long-term strategies.
24×7 Trading Access: Unlike equity markets that operate within fixed hours, CoinSwitch’s platform is always open, allowing users to trade options anytime, anywhere—even during weekends and holidays.
Micro Lot Sizes: With a minimum investment as low as 1 USDT (approx. ₹90), this offering is designed to be accessible to everyone, from beginners to seasoned traders.
Instant Settlement: Trades are settled in real-time, eliminating delays common in traditional derivatives platforms and offering users a seamless trading experience.
High Volatility Advantage: With implied volatility ranging from 50% to 75% annually, users can tap into higher profit potential through smart strategies during price swings.
Unlike traditional equity options, which come with limited trading hours, complex pricing, and higher entry barriers, CoinSwitch’s new feature is built for speed, accessibility, and simplicity. It’s a timely innovation in India’s growing crypto space, especially as more retail investors look for ways to hedge, speculate, and diversify portfolios amid market volatility.
Backed by heavyweight investors such as Coinbase Ventures, Tiger Global, and Sequoia Capital India, CoinSwitch is making it clear: the future of derivatives trading in India is crypto-first, user-centric, and always on.
