Bybit has started offering options trading for Tether Gold (XAUT), giving traders new ways to manage risk, bet on price changes, and use advanced strategies tied to tokenized gold. This launch is a big step for gold-based products in the digital asset market.
XAUT stands for ownership of physical gold, with each token backed by one troy ounce. Bybit’s new options contracts are settled in USDT and can be traded through the exchange’s Request for Quote system, which is made for over-the-counter trading.
To help with liquidity, Bybit teamed up with Orbit Markets, a well-known crypto options market maker with experience in digital assets and precious metals. This partnership should help provide competitive prices and strong liquidity from the start.
Options contracts let traders buy or sell an asset at a set price, but they don’t have to. These contracts are common in traditional finance for managing risk and betting on future price swings.
Gold options are already a big global market on exchanges and over-the-counter venues. By offering them on a top crypto platform, Bybit is helping connect traditional finance with blockchain markets.
Industry experts see this launch as more proof that tokenization is moving beyond cryptocurrencies into established asset classes. It could attract both crypto traders and traditional investors who want more flexible ways to invest in gold.
