A binary (cash-or-nothing) call option pays $100 if S_T > K at expiry.

- Delta remains constant at 0.50, representing the probability of exercise.
- Delta spikes toward infinity, making the option difficult to hedge.
- Delta converges to the Delta of a vanilla call option.
- Delta decays to zero as time value disappears.
