What Is the Risk for the Seller (Writer) of a Call Option?

The seller (writer) of a call option faces potentially unlimited loss, especially if the option is uncovered (they do not own the underlying crypto). If the crypto price rises significantly above the strike price, the seller is obligated to sell the asset at the lower strike price.

Their maximum profit is limited to the premium received upfront.
