What Is the Significance of a Delta of 0.75 for a Bitcoin Call Option?

A Delta of 0.75 for a Bitcoin call option signifies that the option's price is expected to increase by $0.75 for every $1 increase in the Bitcoin spot price. It also suggests that the option is In-the-Money (ITM) and has a roughly 75% probability of expiring ITM.

This high Delta indicates a strong sensitivity to the underlying price and is used by traders to determine the required hedge ratio. To perfectly Delta-hedge one such option, a trader would need to short 0.75 units of Bitcoin.
