Parking Money in Crypto Options

Parking Money in Crypto Options

Author: tastylive May 18, 2026 Duration: 3:19

The market is selling off but the VIX is down 30 cents. No capitulation, no volatility expansion, nothing worth selling in equity indexes right now. So Jamal is going to crypto.

IBIT is the Bitcoin ETF, it is sitting at the lower end of its recent range, and selling a strangle around it gives you almost $5 a day in theta decay with relatively cheap buying power. When you do not know what to do in equities but you still want your account working, this is the kind of trade that parks your money and collects premium while you wait.


Every Tuesday and Thursday, Tony 'The BAT' Battista opens his playbook. This isn't about vague market theories; it's a direct look at the actionable opportunities he's watching right now.
