- Calling the news an industry first, the Singapore-based firm also said Thursday it's one of just four crypto exchanges to offer a full order book for puts and calls.
- The options contracts will be offered for trading on bitcoin ether , Chainlink and Binance coin with daily, weekly and monthly maturities.
- Options contracts give holders the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a set price on a set date in the future.
- Unlike futures, a holder of an options contract is not required to buy or sell the asset if they choose not to do so – hence the name.
- Delta Exchange CEO Pankaj Balani said the options market is an "integral part" of the derivatives ecosystem and he expects daily turnover on his platform to surpass futures demand in the next six to nine months.
- The new call and put options, which are expected to attract retail and institutional traders alike, are available from today.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
