Binance announced it has expanded its stock options product line, launching two strategies: Covered Call and Cash-Secured Put, allowing users to sell option contracts and collect premiums by providing corresponding collateral. The Covered Call strategy requires users to hold the underlying stock as collateral; if the option is exercised, users must sell the stock at the agreed strike price. The Cash-Secured Put strategy requires freezing sufficient USDC, and if exercised, users must buy the underlying stock at the strike price. Both strategies use physical delivery, with collateral assets frozen until the position is closed, the option expires, or it is exercised. The product only supports limit orders, and the Cash-Secured Put strategy uses USDC as collateral. Binance also noted that the relevant products may be unavailable due to regional restrictions.

Reuters columnist Ron Bousso wrote that the Iran war has lasted longer than markets expected, prompting crude traders to reassess the outlook for the global energy market, with high oil prices projected to persist through 2028. Brent crude’s December 2027 futures contract has risen more than 13% since early September to $86 per barrel, hitting a record high since the contract’s launch; its December 2026 counterpart has gained around 12% over the same period. The rise in long-dated oil prices contrasts with the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) forecast that global oil supply will expand in 2027, leading to a noticeable market surplus, reflecting traders’ doubts about whether supply will recover as scheduled. While recent oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are near pre-war levels, risks including Iran’s attacks on ships, Houthi escalation of strikes on Saudi Arabia, and damaged refining capacity continue to weigh on supply prospects. Tensions in the diesel market are particularly acute. Europe’s benchmark diesel futures hit a record high of $1,480 per ton in mid-September, and its December 2027 contract broke above $1,000 per ton this week for the first time, far exceeding the $644 per ton level before the war began. Bousso pointed out that even after hostilities end, repairing damaged refining facilities, rebuilding inventories, and restoring logistics systems will take time. Additional costs such as transportation, insurance, and military escort are also likely to persist, extending energy cost pressures over a longer period.

According to DefiLlama data, Papertrade has generated a cumulative revenue of $42.24 million in its first six days since launch, currently ranking second in global protocol daily revenue rankings—surpassing Circle and trailing only Tether. Separately, Papertrade’s official website shows the protocol has distributed a total of $41.58 million to PAPER stakers, meaning 98.46% of its revenue is allocated to token holders who stake their tokens. It should be noted that the above protocol revenue is calculated from three sources: a 2% fee on realized profit and loss (PnL) of closed trades on the platform, a 2% fee on collateral from liquidation losses, and liquidity provider (LP) balances transferred to PAPER stakers after exceeding the $5 million LP cap. Thus, the so-called "protocol revenue" largely stems from LP balance growth driven by platform traders’ losses. Per official documentation, PAPER stakers’ dividends come from two streams: a 2% protocol "tax" revenue (split equally with developers), and all LP balances exceeding the $5 million cap, which are fully allocated to stakers. As a result, the protocol forms a closed loop where "losers receive platform equity (PAPER), winners take the losers’ funds, and the protocol taxes winners to subsidize the losers."
