Does the Same Logic Apply to American Put Options on High-Yield Crypto Assets?
Yes, the logic is reinforced for American put options on high-yield crypto assets (e.g. those with high staking rewards). Early exercise of the put would mean selling the underlying asset and receiving cash.
The cash can then be invested at the risk-free rate, which may be lower than the staking yield being forfeited. This forfeiture reduces the incentive for early exercise.
Glossar
Staking Yield
Return ⎊ Staking Yield is the annualized rate of return generated from an asset committed to securing a Proof-of-Stake network, paid out in the native token as a reward for validation service.
American Put Options
Valuation ⎊ American Put options, within cryptocurrency derivatives, represent a right ⎊ not an obligation ⎊ to sell an underlying crypto asset at a predetermined price on or before a specified date, differing from European-style options by allowing exercise at any time prior to expiration.
