What Is the Maximum Loss for the Buyer of a Crypto Call Option?

The maximum loss for the buyer of a crypto call option is limited to the premium they paid to acquire the contract. If the price of the underlying cryptocurrency falls or does not rise above the strike price plus the premium, the option will expire worthless.

The buyer will simply lose the cost of the premium. This defined risk is a key feature that attracts traders to buying options.
