An **ETH call option** is option contract giving the owner the right **to buy** a specified amount of ETH at a fixed price within a certain time.

For example, a single ETH call option contract may give a holder the right to buy \
**1 ETH at $150** up until the expiry date in four weeks. If they paid $10 for this right and during the period of holding the price of ETH, say, rises to $200, a holder can excercise their contract (buy 1 ETH at $150) and earn $40 in net profits.

* **Potential Profit:** Unlimited as the level of ETH increases 
* **Potential Loss:** Limited to premium paid for ETH call option contract
