Could you elaborate on the concept of options on Bitcoin futures? Are they essentially derivative contracts that allow investors to speculate on the future price of Bitcoin without actually owning the underlying asset? How do they work in practice? Do they provide hedging opportunities for those who already hold Bitcoin? And what are the potential risks and rewards associated with trading Bitcoin futures options? I'm particularly interested in understanding the mechanics behind these financial instruments and how they fit into the broader cryptocurrency market.
