Paradigm, a leading liquidity network for derivatives traders, has expanded its offerings to include linear altcoin options trading. This new initiative was inaugurated with a block trade in Polygon (MATIC) on the Deribit Exchange.&nbsp; 
The expansion includes options for MATIC, Solana (SOL), and XRP, providing direct payouts tied to the price movements of the underlying assets. 
Collaboration with Galaxy and QCP Group 
The successful launch of linear altcoin options trading was made possible through Paradigm’s collaboration with Galaxy, a digital asset leader, and QCP Group, a prominent digital asset market maker. This partnership aims to enhance liquidity and access for institutional crypto derivatives trading. Paradigm announced this development via a statement on its official X account.
