  Digital currency options are typically assigned to traders when the options contract expires. The assignment process is automated and occurs at the expiration date and time specified in the contract. At this point, the options are either exercised or expire worthless, depending on whether they are in-the-money or out-of-the-money. The assignment process ensures that traders who hold options that are in-the-money receive the corresponding digital currency or cash settlement, while those with out-of-the-money options do not receive any value.

  When it comes to digital currency options, the assignment to traders happens at the expiration date and time. This means that if you hold an option contract and it expires, the assignment process will determine whether you will receive the underlying digital currency or cash settlement. If your option is in-the-money, meaning it has value, you will be assigned the corresponding digital currency. On the other hand, if your option is out-of-the-money, it will expire worthless and you won't receive anything.

  The assignment of digital currency options to traders occurs at the expiration date and time. This is when the options contract is settled and traders either exercise their options or let them expire. If an option is in-the-money, meaning its strike price is favorable compared to the current market price, it will be automatically assigned to the trader. On the other hand, if an option is out-of-the-money, it will expire worthless and won't be assigned to the trader. The assignment process is an important aspect of options trading and ensures that traders receive the value they are entitled to.
