Get ready for a new paradigm in 0DTE options trading with the launch of our Volatility Prediction Market. This groundbreaking addition offering unparalleled leverage and simplicity.

Our one of the primary goal has always been to make options trading ‘Easy’ and ‘Enjoyable’, even for those without deep financial knowledge.

With Moby’s 0DTE Options, you no longer need to worry about IV and Greeks, Just predict the price movement of the underlying asset, and bet accordingly🤓

Phase1: Volatility Prediction Market

In Phase1, we are launching the Volatility Prediction Market. Users can bet on the volatility and direction of the underlying assets.

  • All trades are executed based on Moby’s sophisticated SLE model, offering the best prices with the narrowest spreads in the market.
  • If your prediction is spot on, you could be looking at returns of several hundred percent in just one day💰
  • This market leverages Moby’s existing trading infrastructure, allowing users to close positions anytime or wait until expiry.

Our Volatility Prediction Market(0DTE Options) is similar to the prediction markets recently highlighted by Vitalik Buterin🤔

Initially, We support 0DTE Options for BTC and ETH. But hold tight — we’ll soon expand to a wider range of Altcoins.

Phase2: Social Trading Features Integration

In Phase2, we will integrate social features, enabling users to follow and emulate investments made by key opinion leaders (KOLs).

  • This functionality aims to enhance user success rates and make it enjoyable.
  • KOLs can boost their influence and earn extra revenue through referrals.

Trading will transform into a collaborative endeavor, rather than a solitary challenge🤝

🔥 And don’t forget! Moby’s referral system is already live!

What are 0DTE Options?

0DTE Options are contracts with less than 24 hours until expiry, offering high leverage based on the underlying asset’s volatility. These options are ideal for retail traders who can’t constantly monitor the market.

The surge in interest for such options is evident in traditional financial markets, with 0DTE Options now representing a significant portion(50%) of S&P 500 Index Options trades.

However, the crypto options market still faces challenges with wide spreads, which hinder short-term traders. Unlike futures markets, where bid and ask prices are close, options markets often have spreads that can exceed 50%. This inefficiency makes it difficult for traders to realize profits and exit positions quickly.

How Does Moby Work Its Magic?🧙🏻‍♀️

Moby utilizes a Synchronized Liquidity Engine (SLE)-based on-chain Options Protocol to address these spread issues. By calculating a Risk Premium based on the trader’s impact on the Options LP (OLP), Moby offers narrower spreads while maintaining protocol stability.

This dynamic spread mechanism reduces overall market spreads, making the crypto options market more accessible to short-term retail traders.

Thus, through Moby, traders can realize profits and exit positions quickly and at any time🍯

To celebrate the launch of our 0DTE Options feature, we’ve got an exciting event lined up. Check out the link for ‘Event details🎁’ and a ‘0DTE Options Tutorial✍️’

At Moby, we firmly believe in the potential growth of the on-chain options market. Our mission is to revolutionize the sector by developing foundational infrastructure for all on-chain options and derivatives, including structured products, Liquid Restaked Tokens (LRT), and Real World Assets (RWA).

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to driving the growth of Moby together🐋🌊
