> **Visual Note:** A bar chart titled "Notional Volume" tracks Derive's options trading volume from April 2024 through September 2026, with values ranging from $0 to $340M on the y-axis. The chart shows minimal activity through 2024 and early 2025, followed by a dramatic surge starting in early 2026, peaking at approximately $340M in mid-September 2026—visually confirming the post's claim of an inflection point, with volume jumping from $8M on Sep 14, 2025 to $240M on Sep 14, 2026.

> "This chart shows Derive's options only volumes over the last 2.75 years (we have perps + spot also)

Sep 14 2025: $8m in volume + $2,000 in fees 
Sep 14 2026: $240m in volume + $40,000 in fees 

Yes onchain options are growing, and we just hit an inflection point"
