What Derivative Products Are Commonly Traded on Litecoin and How Does Its Halving Affect Their Pricing?

Litecoin (LTC) is commonly traded via futures contracts and options, particularly on major crypto derivatives exchanges. The Halving, being a predictable supply shock, typically increases the Implied Volatility (IV) of LTC options in the months leading up to the event, raising their premiums.

Futures contracts often trade in Contango as the market anticipates a price increase post-Halving.
