Can a Stealth Address Be Used for an Options Contract Settlement?

Yes, a stealth address could be used for the settlement of an options contract if the underlying asset supports the technology. The payoff, whether in the underlying cryptocurrency or a stablecoin, could be sent to a unique, one-time stealth address generated for the contract's recipient.

This would ensure the settlement details, particularly the recipient's identity, remain private on the blockchain, which is valuable for institutional traders.
