Ithaca Protocol Expansion
Ithaca Protocol, recognized as a leading decentralized options platform, plans to expand its offerings beyond traditional crypto assets. With this integration, the platform will introduce options linked to:

- other RWAs
effectively bridging the gap between traditional finance and DeFi.
Significance of the Collaboration
