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
