Trading Covered Calls on XRP with Deribit

At Terramatris we are always exploring new ways to structure option strategies around crypto assets. One of the more interesting challenges we’ve faced recently is figuring out how to trade covered calls on XRP.

Our favorite trading platform, Bybit, unfortunately does not yet offer XRP options. That left us looking for alternatives, and naturally, Deribit became our next candidate. Deribit does offer XRP options, but as always, the devil is in the details.

As of August 15, 2025, the Terramatris crypto hedge fund value stood at $10,283 what is a decrease of -0.11% or -$10 in dollar terms when compared to the last week. As we had some small business expenses last week (Registered agent service fee – Wyoming LLC incorporation), for which we used part of our fund’s capital, we still consider it another stellar week.
