  In cryptocurrency options trading, the strike price is the price at which the underlying cryptocurrency can be bought or sold when the option is exercised. It is set at the time the option contract is created and remains fixed throughout the life of the contract. If the market price of the cryptocurrency at the expiration of the option is higher than the strike price, the call option is in the money and the option holder can buy the cryptocurrency at the strike price. Conversely, if the market price is lower than the strike price, the put option is in the money and the option holder can sell the cryptocurrency at the strike price. The strike price is an important consideration when trading cryptocurrency options as it determines the potential profitability of the trade. It is important to choose the strike price carefully based on your market outlook and risk tolerance.
