Cryptocurrency Risk Management
Many participants in the ecosystem are under-hedged or outright unhedged against adverse price action
An Insurance Policy Against Unwanted Market Swings
The main use for derivatives is hedging. Institutions that want to reduce market uncertainty use derivatives to protect themselves from a change in a market that would put their business or its profitability at risk. This can be anything from fluctuations in commodity prices to interest rates to hash power. The benefits of derivatives are that they provide risk protection for a wide range of investments while offering a high level of customization. Our team will work with you to reduce volatility and constrain risk parameters.
