    Options on cryptocurrencies typically have an expiration date, which is the point at which they come to an end. This date is predetermined and specified in the option contract. Once the expiration date is reached, the option contract becomes null and void. At this point, the option holder no longer has the right to exercise the option and the option writer is relieved of their obligation. It's important for traders to keep track of the expiration dates of their options to avoid any unexpected outcomes.

    When options on cryptocurrencies expire, they essentially become worthless. This means that if you hold an option that is out of the money (the strike price is higher than the current market price for a call option, or lower for a put option) at expiration, it will expire worthless and you will lose the premium you paid for the option. On the other hand, if your option is in the money at expiration, you can choose to exercise it and profit from the price difference. It's crucial to understand the expiration process and manage your options accordingly.

    Options on cryptocurrencies, like those offered by BYDFi, have a specific expiration date. Once the expiration date is reached, the options cease to exist. At this point, traders can no longer exercise their options and the contracts become null and void. It's important to note that the expiration date can vary depending on the specific option contract. Traders should always be aware of the expiration date and plan their trading strategies accordingly to maximize their potential profits.
