  Put-call parity is a fundamental concept in options pricing. It states that the price of a call option plus the present value of the strike price equals the price of a put option plus the current price of the underlying asset. This relationship ensures that there are no arbitrage opportunities in the options market. In the context of digital assets, put-call parity still holds true. Traders and investors can use this concept to evaluate the pricing of digital asset options and identify potential mispricings.

  Put-call parity is like a balancing act between put and call options. It helps determine the fair value of options based on the current price of the underlying asset. If there is a deviation from put-call parity, it could indicate an opportunity for profit. Traders often use this concept to identify mispriced options and take advantage of the price discrepancy. In the world of digital assets, put-call parity plays a similar role in pricing options and can be a useful tool for traders and investors.
