Binary option, or asset-or-nothing option, was highly favored as derivatives instrument for thousands of brokers and traders. The simplicity of the instrument that allows investors to guess whether or not a specific event will happen raked an estimated $30 billion annually for the market. However, dishonest brokers, shady practices, and opaque terms have resulted in tougher regulation and stricter stance by government agencies. Despite concrete efforts by the industry to regain credibility through ad campaigns, most people remain wary of entering the market.
