LEAPS are very popular in the options market. These publicly traded options contracts have an expiration date of over a year. The premium of LEAPS is usually placed higher as the more extended expiration period gives the asset time to make a substantial move and provide a good return.

Paul Chou, CEO of LedgerX, in an interview with Coindesk, said: “There will be, I expect, a lot more trades down the line. This is the first one, but it at least gives you the first guess from different institutional traders as to what bitcoin's dynamics will look like from now until 2018.”

Just a day later after the launch, two institutional investors agreed to the terms of LedgerX’s options contract.
