PowerTrade, the market-leading altcoin-options exchange, today announces that its ultra-short-dated 10-minute and 1-hour option contracts are now live for BTC on both the PowerTrade CEX and PowerDEX with zero fees. To make them accessible to every trader, the company is simultaneously rolling out PowerTrade Lite – a streamlined interface where a single click on the chart automatically selects the highest-ROI contract, no option chain or Greeks required.
“We just made options trading as easy as clicking on a price level,” said Mario Gomez Lozada, Founder & CEO. “With PowerTrade Lite, you can express an idea faster than a perpetual scalp, enjoy >1,000× notional leverage, and never worry about liquidations.”
PowerTrade LITE UI
Why These Options Are a Game-Changer
| Feature | Benefit |
| >1,000× Effective Leverage | Premiums are often <0.1 % of notional value, giving
traders more bang for every USDC without margin calls. |
| Zero Liquidation Risk | Max loss = premium paid. No auto-deleverage, no
stop-outs, ever. |
| Lightning-Fast Expiries | 10-minute and 1-hour maturities across BTC and 80+
altcoins let you monetize intraday spikes or hedge micro-risk with surgical precision. |
| One-Click Execution | In Lite, just tap the chart; the system returns the
highest-ROI strike/expiry automatically. |
| CEX & DEX Parity | Trade permissionlessly on PowerDEX (Ethereum, Base,
and Solana) or through the PowerTrade CEX order book. |
| Block-Trade Ready | Need size or a custom structure? Hit the 24/7 RFQ desk
(t.me/power_trade/1). |
How Traders Use Them
- News-Flash Plays – Capture CPI prints, Fed headlines, or token-specific catalysts in minutes, not days.
- Basis & Funding Hedges – Lock in short-term exposure without rolling perps or paying funding.
- “Lottery-Ticket” Calls & Puts – Pay a small fixed premium for asymmetric upside with unlimited reward.
