Seychelles-based crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX has partnered with PowerTrade to launch the Options trading solution. This strategic partnership aims to disrupt the crypto options market by offering traders enhanced opportunities across various market conditions.

The new BitMEX Options platform provides a comprehensive range of institutional-grade options for major tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Binance Coin, Solana, and Dogecoin, with plans for further expansion in the future. Notably, all Options trading on BitMEX will be devoid of trading fees until the end of May 2024, aligning with the platform's launch.
