Can Options Trading Be Conducted Privately Using DeFi Dark Execution Methods?
Yes, options trading on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) can utilize private execution methods like Flashbots. A large order to buy or sell an options contract could be submitted as part of a private transaction bundle.
This prevents a front-runner from seeing the order and manipulating the underlying asset price or the options premium before the execution, which is crucial for large-volume options strategies.
