Uweb Live Class Episode 174 will be broadcasted on July 3, 2025, at 8 PM, with the theme "Exploring Low-Risk, High-Return Trading Methods in Web3." This episode will be hosted by Uweb Principal Yu Jianing, with special guest Yuezi Ge, a full-time options trader, sharing his 11 years of trading experience, combining vivid examples and in-depth analysis to explore the unique charm and opportunities of options trading in the Web3 field. The live broadcast will focus on three core topics:

• Why is options trading becoming increasingly important in Web3?
• How can options trading make money?
• How can beginners master options trading?

Principal Yu opened the session by pointing out the rapid changes in the Web3 market recently, with significant wealth effects, especially in the correlation between U.S. stocks and Web3. Options trading, as a high-flexibility tool, shows great potential. Yuezi Ge used vivid metaphors like "driving" and "horse racing" to explain the underlying logic and market opportunities of options trading, attracting over 400 participants for interaction. The content of the live broadcast is not only suitable for options traders but also provides valuable insights for all Web3 investors. Below is a detailed summary of the three main topics, hoping everyone can master the core thinking of options trading through learning and become a "steady and fast" veteran on the wealth highway!

1. Why is options trading becoming increasingly important in Web3?

1. The Importance of Options Trading in the Context of Web3 and U.S. Stock Correlation

Principal Yu mentioned that the Web3 market has been highly volatile recently, with altcoins performing poorly, while U.S. stock-related assets (like Robinhood) surged due to the Web3 boom, similar to the 2021 metaverse craze, showing a trend of correlation from U.S. stocks to Hong Kong stocks and then to A-shares, highlighting the wealth effect of Web3. Options trading, due to its high flexibility and derivative characteristics, has become a key tool for capturing this trend. Yuezi Ge added that options are the "jewel in the crown" of trading, capable of conveying market judgments from institutions and large players through price signals. In the context of low liquidity and high option premiums in the Web3 market, options innovation brings new opportunities, suitable not only for speculation but also for helping investors understand market dynamics in a multi-dimensional way, adapting to the complex environment of B-share correlation.

2. The Thinking Differences and Core Value of Options Trading

Principal Yu asked about the thinking differences between options and spot or contract trading. Yuezi Ge illustrated this through a choice game (100% chance to win 1 million vs. 50% chance to win 100 million), explaining that the core of options trading is the tradable value of "choice," which differs from the one-way trading of spot (profit from price increases) and the two-way trading of contracts (profit from price direction). Options represent four-dimensional trading (buying up, buying down, selling up, selling down), becoming more flexible with the addition of a time dimension. He emphasized the ability of options to lock in future prices, suitable for the high-volatility Web3 market, using examples of car insurance and agricultural product pricing. Principal Yu added that options should be configured in a combinatorial manner to avoid unilateral speculation, meeting the needs of an institutionalized era.

3. The Combinability of Options Trading and Risk Control

Yuezi Ge presented the profit and loss chart of options trading, highlighting its non-linear profit characteristics. By implementing strategy combinations (like the bull spread strategy), one can effectively control risks within specific price ranges. Compared to contracts, options have no liquidation risk, can withstand volatility, and offer unlimited profits with limited losses, perfectly fitting the high-volatility Web3 market. Principal Yu emphasized that options are not "lottery-style" speculation; they require systematic configuration thinking, forming refined trading logic combined with hedging mechanisms. Yuezi Ge further pointed out that options traders need to understand the role of market makers, earning the value difference of rights by buying low and selling high, avoiding simple unilateral operations.

4. The Blue Ocean Potential of the Options Market

Yuezi Ge analyzed that options in the Web3 field are still a blue ocean market. Options trading volume in U.S. stocks accounts for 50%, while over 95% of the crypto market consists of contract trading, with options only making up 5%. The future trading volume of Web3 options is expected to increase to 10%-20%, indicating significant growth potential. He cited the launch of the first options product by the Chicago Board Options Exchange in 1973 as an example, noting that the history of options is relatively young, with the domestic market (the Shanghai Stock Exchange 50 ETF options) developing for only 10 years, making the potential for Web3 options particularly significant. Principal Yu added that understanding options can help investors capture market signals; even if they do not trade derivatives, it can enhance market insight and help seize opportunities in the Web3 wave.

2. How can options trading make money?

1. The Four-Step Simple Trading Method for Options Trading

Principal Yu guided Yuezi Ge to share an introductory method for options trading. Yuezi Ge proposed the "Four-Step Simple Trading Method": Prediction (selecting an asset like ETH, judging the direction of price movement and target price, such as breaking $3000 before July 25); Strategy Selection (buying Call options for bullish views, buying Put options for bearish views); Opening Position (checking the order book, such as ETH $3000 Call options with a buy price of $266 and a sell price of $270, choosing to buy at market or limit price); Closing Position (holding until expiration or selling midway to lock in profits). He used ETH as an example, stating that if it breaks $3000 early, the option's value will rise, allowing for early profit-taking. Yuezi Ge emphasized that these four steps are easy to grasp, suitable for beginners to quickly get started, with the core based on judging price movements, encouraging small-scale attempts to lower the learning threshold.

2. The Dimensions of Making Money in Options Trading

Yuezi Ge used the metaphor of "horse racing" to explain the four ways to make money in options trading: Delta (Direction), similar to betting on which horse will come in first, profiting from price movements; Gamma (Volatility), betting on the uncertainty of the horses, profiting from increased short-term volatility; Theta (Time), similar to earning money from the passage of time at the racetrack, with longer time frames yielding higher returns; Vega (Sentiment), profiting from the rise in option prices due to heightened market sentiment (like a popular racetrack). He illustrated this with an ETH volatility trading case (profiting from fluctuations between $2492 and $2078 or $3021), showing that options can capture volatility through combination strategies (like double buying) without needing precise directional predictions, achieving annualized returns of up to 70%, suitable for a diverse market.

3. The Underlying Logic of Web3 Financial Products and Options

Principal Yu inquired about the risks and mechanics of Web3 financial products like dual-currency wealth management, snowballs, and shark fins. Yuezi Ge explained that these products are fundamentally based on options, such as bull and bear certificates and dual-currency wealth management, which lock in time and price through options to meet asset appreciation needs. The standardized products offered by exchanges have completed risk hedging, with the core risk being the exchange running away, rather than product default. Snowball products may incur losses due to non-principal protection, but principal-protected products have lower risks. Exchanges take 30%-50% of profits as "packaging fees," and if investors combine options strategies themselves, they can increase returns from $30 to $60. Yuezi Ge encouraged learning about options to gain control and reduce costs associated with being "profited off" by exchanges.

4. Auxiliary Indicators and Market Insights in Options Trading

Yuezi Ge introduced auxiliary indicators for options trading, such as Volume Distribution Charts and Implied Volatility (IV), which help to gain insights into institutional behavior. Volume distribution charts show the concentration of trades at future times (like July 4 and 11) or prices, reflecting institutional layouts, such as high trading volumes on September 26 indicating significant events. IV reflects market expectations for future volatility; for instance, after a spike in IV on June 22, a subsequent drop allowed for a 40% profit from shorting volatility. Principal Yu acknowledged the value of these indicators for understanding market dynamics. Yuezi Ge emphasized that options trading can provide insights into the profit-taking and stop-loss positions of market makers, offering a "third-eye" perspective for the high-volatility Web3 market.

Principal Yu's Summary and Uweb's Future Outlook

Principal Yu likened options trading to being a "veteran driver on the wealth highway," emphasizing that the hallmark of a veteran driver is being "steady and fast, safe and fuel-efficient," rather than merely pursuing speed. Options trading requires rational and systematic thinking. He thanked Yuezi Ge for sharing the underlying logic, noting that the content is not limited to options knowledge but also helps build a complete trading system. Principal Yu introduced Uweb's live sessions every Tuesday and Thursday, inviting industry experts (like fund managers and analysts) to share cutting-edge insights, encouraging participation in the community to receive the latest event information, such as the Shenzhen practical workshop, courses in Hong Kong at the end of July, and a study tour in the U.S. at the end of August. He emphasized that Uweb closely follows the trend of B-share correlation, validating the logic of token securitization, and recommended the Hong Kong Registered Digital Analyst (CDAA) certification to support compliance and professional development. The internal sessions will delve into practical operations and market analysis, welcoming alumni to join the Tencent meeting for discussions.

Principal Yu finally called on everyone to actively participate in Uweb's offline activities and seize the historical opportunities presented by the correlation between Web3 and B-shares. Whether a novice or an experienced trader, by learning the core logic and practical methods of options trading, everyone can find their own wealth path in the Web3 market. Let us move steadily forward on the wealth highway and become true "veteran drivers"!
