New Options Expiries on OKX

OKX has expanded its crypto options offering by introducing daily expiries and additional weekly expiry dates for both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options. The new contracts are live immediately.

Why This Matters

Daily options give traders a precise tool for hedging around specific events — such as CPI prints, Fed meetings, or major protocol upgrades — without paying for time value beyond a single day.

Extended weekly expiries (bi-weekly) fill the gap between standard weeklies and monthlies, useful for traders who want a 2-week directional view with defined risk.

Options Basics on OKX

OKX offers both European-style options (exercise at expiry only) in a standard USDT-settled format:

  • Call options: profit when the underlying rises above the strike
  • Put options: profit when the underlying falls below the strike
  • Sellers (writers) receive the premium upfront and take on the obligation
  • Implied Volatility Surface

    OKX's options interface now displays a full IV surface chart, showing how implied volatility varies across strikes and expiries. This is a professional-grade tool previously available only on dedicated options platforms.
