    Short straddles can be used as a hedging strategy to mitigate the impact of cryptocurrency price volatility. At BYDFi, we offer short straddle options that allow traders to profit from stable price movements. By selling call and put options with the same strike price and expiration date, traders can generate income from the premiums received. This income can help offset potential losses from cryptocurrency price fluctuations. However, it's important to note that short straddles also come with risks, and traders should carefully consider their risk tolerance and market conditions before implementing this strategy.
