The options market for $HYPE just went live with a notable upgrade—order book trading is now available alongside it. This opens up new possibilities for those looking to trade hype derivatives on-chain.

For traders dealing in OTC options positions, there's a solid argument for leveraging RFQ mechanisms. You get tighter pricing and way more control over execution compared to standard pooled liquidity models. Worth exploring if you're serious about derivatives trading in this space.

Anybody with questions about how this works is welcome to dig in and ask around.

Everyone is a master when the market is good, RFQ can be a bit complicated...

It's the same story again, the order book is back. Three years ago, we heard similar comments, saying that pooled liquidity is garbage. But what happened? It still ended up being a way to cut leeks. That said, RFQ really can save some transaction fees, I have to admit that. Anyway, I won't touch derivatives anymore. I lost money on the $HYPE wave last time, and now I see traps everywhere, haha.

Order book is here, the RFQ arbitrage opportunity seems to be disappearing.

Currently, all kinds of derivatives markets are competing. The RFQ system is indeed much stronger than pooled liquidity, and the level of execution is completely different.

actually, the key variable here is whether the RFQ mechanism properly incentivizes market makers without creating adverse selection problems. think of it this way—in traditional finance, this is literally how institutional OTC desks operate, but ceteris paribus, the on-chain version faces latency issues that traditional markets don't. worth digging into the mechanism design tbh
