What Is “In the Money” for a Crypto Put Option?

A crypto put option is "in the money" (ITM) when the strike price is higher than the current market price of the underlying cryptocurrency. This means the holder can sell the crypto at a price higher than its current trading value.

Being ITM gives the option intrinsic value, which is the amount immediately realizable if the option were exercised.
