IG followed up that launch with the distinction of being the first broker to scrap bitcoin trading when they ceased offering the binary options product a month later.

Showing that times are changing, IG is again bringing binary options for bitcoins back to their platform. Launched yesterday, and promoted via their Twitter account, IG is offering bitcoin trading in both Sprint and Ladder binary options. Sprint is IG’s terminology for classic binary options in which customers wager whether prices of an instrument will close higher or lower than the current market prices, with a fixed payout if they are correct.

With ladder style binary options, IG provides multiple in and out-of-the money price points over daily, weekly and monthly expiration periods to wager whether bitcoin will close above or below the strike prices. With multiple durations and strike prices, ladder options are more similar to traditional exchange traded equity options. The main differentiator is that ladder binary options offer a fixed payout versus a variable one of traditional options. (More on different styles of trading bitcoins at Digital Currency Magnates)

With the relaunch of binary options at IG, the broker is offering a fairly robust variety of tradable bitcoin products by providing both classic and ladder style binary options and many strike prices and durations. Among binary options brokers offering bitcoin products, their offerings have typically been limited to either only classic or ladder style options with a few expiration and strike prices. As such, with such a robust variety of its bitcoin offering, our bet is that the product will last more than a month this time around.
