Can a Peer-to-Peer Protocol Be Used for Tokenized Options Trading?

Yes, a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol can be used for tokenized options trading. In this model, an individual option writer directly offers a contract to an individual buyer, setting custom terms (strike, expiration, premium).

The smart contract acts as the intermediary, holding the writer's collateral and managing the settlement, enabling highly customizable, direct-market access.
