Inverse and Quanto Inverse Options in a Black-Scholes World
Over 90% of exchange trading on crypto options has always been on the Deribit platform. This centralised crypto exchange only lists inverse products because they do not accept fiat currency. Currently, fiat-based traders can only make deposits in bitcoin, although they can withdraw both bitcoin and ether to their on-chain wallets. Likewise, other major crypto options platforms only list crypto--stablecoin trading pairs in so-called direct options, which are similar to the standard crypto options listed by the CME except the U.S. dollar is replaced by a stablecoin version. Until now a clear mathematical exposition of these products has been lacking. We discuss the sources of market incompleteness in direct and inverse options and compare their pricing and hedging characteristics. Then we discuss the useful applications of currency protected "quanto" direct and inverse options for fiat-based traders and describe their pricing and hedging characteristics, all in the Black-Scholes setting.

Removing non-smoothness in solving Black-Scholes equation using a perturbation method
Black-Scholes equation as one of the most celebrated mathematical models has an explicit analytical solution known as the Black-Scholes formula. Later variations of the equation, such as fractional or nonlinear Black-Sch…
Forecasting Stock Options Prices via the Solution of an Ill-Posed Problem for the Black-Scholes Equation
In the previous paper (Inverse Problems, 32, 015010, 2016), a new heuristic mathematical model was proposed for accurate forecasting of prices of stock options for 1-2 trading days ahead of the present one. This new tech…
Risk valuation of quanto derivatives on temperature and electricity
This paper develops a coupled model for day-ahead electricity prices and average daily temperature which allows to model quanto weather and energy derivatives. These products have gained on popularity as they enable to h…
On the implied volatility of Inverse options under stochastic volatility models
In this paper we study short-time behavior of the at-the-money implied volatility for Inverse European options with fixed strike price. The asset price is assumed to follow a general stochastic volatility process. Using …
The inverse Black-Scholes problem in Radon measures space revisited: towards a new measure of market uncertainty
In this paper, we revisit the inverse Black-Scholes model, the existence of the solution is proved in more rigorous way, and the empirical study is done using different approach based on finite element method. The articl…
