Option Selling Strategy
An option selling strategy involves writing contracts to collect premiums, aiming to profit from time decay and volatility contraction. These strategies are often used to generate yield on crypto holdings, such as covered calls or cash-secured puts.
While these strategies can provide consistent income, they also carry the risk of unlimited loss if the underlying asset price moves drastically against the position. Success depends on selecting the appropriate strike price and expiration date to manage risk effectively.
These strategies are widely used in DeFi vaults to provide liquidity and earn returns.
