RE: How Bitcoin Futures Will Affect Price

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Also the Black-Scholes valuation of contracts would make the premiums very very high due to underlying volatility.
However, as best as I understand the proposed contracts will be cash settled in USD which implies that even a dreaded short squeeze of naked contracts will not automatically mean a rush to buying BTC to cover the positions.

Sort:  

From what I know there won't be Bitcoin options contracts only futures.

But you're right if options were to be introduced, the implied volatility will result in very high premiums.
