TacticX
Crypto Options, Simplified.
The strategy builder for traders who think in strategies.
The strategy builder that makes crypto options visual, executable, and profitable.
TacticX is a non-custodial crypto options platform that turns complex multi-leg strategies into visual, one-click trades. Built by capital markets engineers. Live in beta.
01 — The Who
Built by capital markets engineers who know trading infrastructure
We're a fintech-native team with 6+ years building trading platforms, algorithmic trading systems, and high-performance data infrastructure in Rust and Apache Arrow.
TacticX is a crypto options strategy builder registered in Bengaluru, India (CIN: U62099KA2025PTC209092). We're not outsiders building a crypto tool — we're systems engineers who've built trading platforms from the ground up, now applying that DNA to the fastest-growing segment of crypto.
02 — The Problem
Crypto options are a massive opportunity with terrible tooling
The gap: Traders want to use options for hedging and income, but they can't visualize strategies, can't simulate outcomes, and can't execute across multiple exchanges from one dashboard. They're forced to trade blind — or not trade at all.
03 — The Market
A trillion-dollar market growing 47% year-over-year
Crypto options are the fastest-growing segment in derivatives. Institutional adoption is accelerating. Retail demand is surging. The tools haven't caught up.
04 — The Users
Three segments, one platform
708 million people own crypto globally. As the market matures, a growing slice of them want options exposure — and there's nothing built for them.
-
Retail Options Traders
Active traders who want to go beyond spot and futures. They need visual strategy builders, P&L simulation, and accessible Greeks — not a Bloomberg terminal. This segment drives 60–70% of altcoin options volume.
-
Semi-Professional Traders
Full-time traders managing mid-sized portfolios who need multi-leg strategy simulation, cross-exchange position tracking, and real-time risk analysis. Growing rapidly as 55% of institutions enter crypto options.
-
Prop Desks & Small Funds
Trading desks that need strategy visualization and execution without building expensive in-house tools. TacticX becomes their out-of-the-box options infrastructure. Institutions account for 42% of derivatives volume.
05 — The Platform
From idea to execution in four steps
TacticX is the missing layer between crypto exchanges and options traders. Connect, build, execute, and analyze — all in one non-custodial dashboard.
-
1. Connect Your Exchange
Link Bybit, Binance, or other supported exchanges via API in seconds. Non-custodial — your funds never leave your exchange. We only access essential data for analysis and execution.
-
2. Build Your Strategy
Choose from 35+ pre-built strategies (iron condors, butterflies, strangles, jade lizards, and more) or go fully custom. See visual payoff graphs update in real-time as you adjust strikes and legs.
-
3. Execute or Simulate
Place trades directly on your exchange, or use Virtual Trading Mode to simulate with zero risk. Validate your thesis before committing real capital.
-
4. Analyze in Real-Time
Track live positions with real-time Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega), P&L, and portfolio exposure. One dashboard across all connected exchanges. Refine and iterate.
Live now: The platform is in beta at app.tacticx.trade with login/signup active. Users can connect exchanges, build strategies, and simulate trades today.
06 — The Approach
What makes TacticX defensible
We're not competing with exchanges. We're building the intelligence layer on top of them — and that's a much more defensible position.
| Capability | TacticX | Deribit | Exchange Built-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Strategy Builder | ✓ 35+ strategies | ✗ Basic interface | ✗ None |
| Multi-Exchange Dashboard | ✓ Unified view | ✗ Deribit only | ✗ Single exchange |
| Virtual Trading | ✓ Full simulation | ✗ Limited | ✗ Not available |
| Non-Custodial | ✓ Always | ✗ Custodial | ✗ Custodial |
| AI Workflow Automation | ✓ Phase 2 | ✗ None | ✗ None |
| Real-Time Greeks | ✓ All positions | ✓ Available | ~ Partial |
Phase 2 Moat — AI Workflow Automation: We're building an AI engine that generates trading strategies from natural language descriptions. "I'm bullish on BTC for the next 30 days with limited downside" becomes a fully structured, executable multi-leg options strategy. This is a first in crypto options and our key long-term differentiator.
07 — Geographics
Where crypto options traders are
Our go-to-market follows the adoption heat map: Asia-Pacific first (largest user base and our home market), then North America and Europe, then emerging markets.
Global market share. India: 119M users. Vietnam: 21% adoption. China, Japan, South Korea as key markets.
Crypto ownership. US: 65M users, 30% of adults. Pro-crypto regulation and spot ETF approvals accelerating growth.
Adult adoption. UK, Germany, Switzerland as hubs. MiCA regulation bringing institutional clarity.
National adoption. Brazil: 16M users with 50% YoY growth. Emerging high-growth corridor.
YoY growth. Nigeria: 42% population adoption. Fastest-growing continent for crypto.
UAE leads global adoption rate. Dubai established as a crypto-friendly hub with clear regulation.
Launch strategy: India first (home market, 119M users) → Southeast Asia → US & Europe → Emerging markets. We go where the traders already are.
08 — Revenue Model
Four revenue streams, built for compounding
We monetize through a blend of recurring subscriptions, per-trade fees, exchange partnerships, and premium data products — creating multiple paths to revenue at scale.
Freemium SaaS Subscription
Free tier for basic strategy building. Pro plans ($29–$99/mo) unlock unlimited strategies, real-time analytics, AI automation, and priority execution. This is our primary revenue driver — predictable, scalable, high-margin.
Per-Trade Transaction Fees
Micro-fee per executed trade (0.01–0.05%). Non-custodial — we route to exchanges and take a thin margin. At scale, this compounds significantly. A trader executing $10K/day in options generates $1–5/day in revenue for TacticX.
Exchange Referral Revenue
Revenue share with exchanges for users and API volume driven through TacticX. Exchanges pay for acquisition — we deliver active options traders. This creates a flywheel: more exchanges → more liquidity → more users → more exchange revenue.
Premium Analytics & Data Products
Institutional-grade options analytics — volatility surfaces, Greeks dashboards, market intelligence — sold as a data product to hedge funds and prop desks. High-margin, recurring, and defensible.
09 — Roadmap
Where we are and where we're going
Q1–Q2 2026
Beta launch with strategy builder and visual payoff graphs. Exchange integrations (Bybit, Binance). Virtual trading mode. Initial user acquisition target: 1,000+ beta users. This is where we are now.

Global market expansion. API marketplace for third-party strategies. Strategic exchange partnerships. Target: 200K+ users, $5M+ ARR.
10 — The Ask
Seed round — use of funds
We're raising a seed round to accelerate product development, build the AI automation engine, and drive user acquisition across Asia-Pacific and North America.
How Investors Get Their Money Back
-
Revenue Growth → Equity Value
As TacticX scales subscriptions and transaction volume, valuation grows at fintech SaaS multiples (8–15x ARR). Early investors benefit from valuation appreciation across funding rounds.
-
Strategic Acquisition
Crypto exchanges and brokerages are actively acquiring options tooling platforms. TacticX's multi-exchange, non-custodial architecture makes it an attractive bolt-on acquisition target.
-
Secondary Market & Future Rounds
As TacticX progresses through Series A and beyond, early investors can realize returns through secondary sales. The 12.6% CAGR through 2034 provides sustained market tailwind.
18-month milestones: 50K+ active users · $1M+ ARR · 5+ exchange integrations · AI automation live. We're targeting 3–5x return for seed investors within 3 years through valuation growth in the $27B+ crypto trading platform market.
