Two of the world’s biggest names in finance, Cumberland Global and Goldman Sachs, are offering clients alternative exposure to Bitcoin and Ether.
Last week, Cumberland, a major market maker, launched OTC bilateral options on the leading crypto pairs.
Goldman Sachs is following in its footsteps with similar contracts.
OTC options are created peer-to-peer through a safe and secure messaging system in contrast to standard options that trade on regulated exchanges.
Goldman Sachs and Cumberland will both offer bilateral options on their current OTC markets.
