Mumbai, October 14, 2025: Pi42, India’s first Crypto-INR Perpetual Futures Exchange, has launched its INR-margined crypto options trading platform, inviting traders to participate and experience a new way to hedge, speculate, and build strategies in digital assets. Traders can now access BTC, & ETH crypto options directly in INR, with the ability to both, buy and sell call and put contracts. The platform is built for the masses with minimum contract lot sizes with premiums starting as low as ₹10 (or approx 0.1 USDT for far OTM strikes), the lowest in the industry.
The platform is equipped with an easy-to-use interface featuring an advanced Options Chain that includes Pricing data & Implied volatility, Greeks, Open Interest & Volume, and a transparent orderbook with support for multiple strike prices. 11 types of Expiries are available across daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly timelines, with strike prices powered by real-time data from global liquidity sources. To ensure seamless adoption, Pi42 also offers educational resources and guided trading flows, making options accessible for both beginners and advanced traders.
Commenting on the launch, Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “With this launch, we are opening the doors for Indian traders to explore crypto options in the simplest, most cost-efficient way possible. By combining INR margins, ultra-low entry barriers, and guided user experiences, Pi42 is not only democratizing access but also redefining how Indian investors participate in global crypto markets. Having already built a strong presence in futures, expanding into options is a natural progression in our journey to become a full-service derivatives exchange. The timing also aligns with greater regulatory clarity and our FIU registration, which ensures that traders can participate with trust and confidence.”
Pi42’s future roadmap includes tools such as basket orders & advanced strategy builders, ability to dynamically delta hedge against futures along with powerful analytics & data visualization tools required for options. Features that are not widely available on Indian exchanges today. The phased rollout will introduce data visualizations, P&L payoff matrix graphs, dynamic hedging configurations, and template strategies like straddles, strangles, spreads, and iron condors, enabling Indian traders to access the same sophistication as global markets. Users can now download the app and complete their KYC to start trading options.
