CRYPTO QUESTIONS

Question from WDBL - Will we have weeklies in the Bitcoin options anytime soon?

Question from Frank - What do you guys think of this article? Do you ever use the commodity volatility indices in your analysis? - https://www.investing.com/analysis/oil--gold-vs-oil--gold-volatility-indices-200307186

Question from Lebex - Is there some reason why listed #crypto derivatives went on the futures side first? Would have loved to see a security with options listed on it to start as it would be more appealing to a wider audience.
