  Options on cryptocurrencies typically have a fixed expiration time. The exact time can vary depending on the exchange and the specific cryptocurrency. However, most options contracts expire at the end of the trading day, which is usually around 8:00 PM UTC. It's important to note that different exchanges may have slightly different expiration times, so it's always a good idea to check the specific terms and conditions of the exchange you're trading on.

  When it comes to the expiration time of options on cryptocurrencies, it's crucial to consider the underlying cryptocurrency's trading hours. Since cryptocurrencies are traded 24/7, the expiration time is usually set to coincide with the end of the trading day. This ensures that the option holder has the opportunity to exercise their rights or close their position before the market closes. Additionally, the expiration time may also be influenced by factors such as market liquidity, volatility, and regulatory requirements.

  Options on cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, generally expire at the end of the trading day. However, it's worth noting that BYDFi, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, offers options contracts with a unique expiration time. BYDFi's options contracts expire at 12:00 PM UTC the following day. This allows traders to take advantage of extended trading hours and potentially capture additional market opportunities. It's important to keep in mind that BYDFi's options contracts have their own terms and conditions, so make sure to familiarize yourself with them before trading.
