Blockchain.com rolls out crypto options as it pursues US derivatives licenses

Blockchain.com has launched crypto options trading covering BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, AVAX, XRP and TRX, with contract expiries of up to one week. The move comes as the exchange pursues US derivatives licenses, expanding its product suite beyond spot and into short-dated options. Traders would read this as incremental broadening of retail-accessible derivatives liquidity, mildly supportive for the listed assets but not a market-moving event on its own.
