Binance Expands Bitcoin Options Writing Access to All Users
Binance has broadened access to its bitcoin options writing feature, allowing all eligible users on the platform to write (sell) bitcoin options—once a capability reserved for select traders.
The move is part of Binance’s ongoing push to make advanced derivatives strategies accessible to retail users. Writing options allows traders to earn premiums by selling call or put contracts, typically as a way to generate yield or express a market view.
“Users are increasingly looking for tools beyond simple spot trading,” said Jeff Li, VP of Product at Binance. “By expanding options writing access, we’re giving them more sophisticated strategies to manage risk and generate returns.”
Bitcoin options volume on Binance has surged over the past few years, growing from $4.1 billion in 2020 to $138.8 billion as of June 2025. The exchange says this reflects rising demand for flexible crypto derivatives.
As part of the expansion, Binance is offering reduced fees—up to 20% off—for trades involving BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL options. Enhancements to its Options Enhanced Program will also lower entry requirements and improve rates for high-volume participants.
Despite the wider rollout, Binance noted that traders must still pass risk assessments and meet margin thresholds before gaining access.
This latest update reinforces Binance’s aim to bridge the gap between institutional-grade tools and retail accessibility.
