Crypto trading has evolved from spot trading to derivatives like futures and options.

Perpetual options introduce both opportunities and challenges in the market.

Liquidity and decentralization remain significant hurdles for crypto derivatives.

dYdX plans to launch perpetual futures on prediction markets to help DeFi regain attention and distinguish itself from centralized exchanges.

Users can now trade perpetual futures tied to bitcoin and ether implied volatility indices on Bitfinex.

Volatility futures allow betting on the degree of price turbulence in cryptocurrencies.

Bitfinex's new futures are based on Volmex's bitcoin and ether implied volatility indices, analogous to Wall Street's VIX index.
