Odaily News, Greeks.live Research Institute Adam posted on the X platform that recently, the IV for selling options has been relatively low and option premiums have thinned out, prompting him to explore other types of trading. He mentioned that he has always done some US stock trading, previously primarily through Chinese-language brokers, but following the tax audit风波, it has become less convenient to use them. After last month's announcement by Coinbase and Deribit, he has moved his US stock trading to Coinbase, aiming to have his margin used for both US stock and options trading after the future merger. He also expressed anticipation for the post-merger user experience, noting that spot liquidity is decent, and Advanced Trading offers products such as spot and perpetual contracts, providing a more unified trading experience without the need to switch between multiple platforms. He added that anyone trying out Coinbase's international exchange INTX ahead of time can reach out to him privately if they encounter issues.
