Option Premium Yield

Option premium yield refers to the strategy of generating consistent income by selling options and collecting the premiums. This is often executed through covered calls or cash-secured puts, where the trader takes on a defined risk in exchange for immediate cash flow.

In the crypto ecosystem, this is a popular way to earn yield on assets that might otherwise be idle. However, it requires careful management of the underlying position to avoid large losses if the market moves against the trade.

The goal is to capture the time value of the option while minimizing the impact of price volatility on the principal.
