Options onchain have taken various forms over time, representing an underrepresented niche within crypto primitives. Nonetheless, this is changing, with a new wave of protocols that improve on their predecessors, abstracting the complexity of options and emphasising their value proposition rather than primarily on user education, and meeting real demand as onchain yields compress.In this report, we cover and compare different venues that offer exposure to crypto asset options, compare thecam with traditional platforms, and highlight how Prediction Markets essentially replicate traditional binary options.With this, we also expand the research to map the volatility of the major assets, BTC and ETH, and their correlation with prediction market odds.
The first half of 2026 was characterized by cross-asset volatility from cryptocurrencies to US equities and precious metals. Of the three asset classes however, crypto prices have fared the worst, with BTC down 50% from its October 2025 all-time high and ETH down more than 66% from its respective August 2025 high. Each successive leg lower in crypto-asset prices through the year was driven by a different factor — some were idiosyncratic to digital assets, and others a consequence of a deteriorating macro backdrop.
This report evaluates Bitget Wallet's DEX aggregator and Enterprise API against three other leading aggregators (KyberSwap, 0x, and Jupiter) using thousands of live quote comparisons pulled simultaneously across trade sizes from under $1,000 to $100,000, on BTC, ETH, SOL, and stablecoin pairs. We assess execution quality across three dimensions: price competitiveness (which aggregator returns the best swap price), slippage control (how much that price degrades with trade size), and fill reliability (how often an executable quote is returned).
