With derivatives accounting for over 75% of global crypto trading volume, options have become a critical tool in modern trading. Unlike futures contracts, options give traders the flexibility to buy or sell assets at preset prices without mandatory execution. That feature allows market participants to hedge against downturns or seize upside potential without exposing themselves to unlimited losses.
At the core of the new service is the Options Concierge, which acts as a personalized guide for traders navigating the complexities of the options market. Clients can request custom-built options strategies tailored to their specific needs, whether it’s leveraging price movements, volatility swings, or changes in interest rates.
The service caters to traders of all levels, enabling them to mitigate price fluctuations, optimize returns, and manage risk with minimal capital exposure. Institutional investors, in particular, may find value in the bespoke nature of the offerings, which could provide deeper liquidity and tighter spreads in crypto markets.
In order to use the service, clients must undergo a Know Your Client (KYC) verification, with approval times ranging from three to seven business days, depending on the applicant type. DWF Labs has also emphasized institutional-grade security for protecting client assets.
With an increasing demand for structured derivatives in the Web3 ecosystem, the firm’s expansion underscores the growing interest in flexible trading instruments. The addition of customizable contracts and over-the-counter (OTC) solutions could even attract traditional financial institutions, many of which have remained cautious due to crypto’s notorious volatility.
Despite the optimism surrounding the launch, DWF Labs’ history in the crypto industry has sparked skepticism. The firm has often been at the center of discussions regarding potential conflicts of interest, as it has blended venture investments with market-making activities.
Critics have raised concerns over allegations of “pump-and-dump” tactics, in which DWF Labs allegedly invests in tokens before providing liquidity, potentially influencing price action. The firm has consistently denied these claims, asserting that its trading activities remain separate from its investment strategy.

Looking ahead, DWF Labs is pushing even further into crypto automation. In December 2024, the company is set to introduce AI-driven trading agents designed for autonomous portfolio management. Co-founder Andrei Grachev described the move as a “major step forward for crypto trading, combining innovation with practicality.”
