Prolonged range bound markets are a hallmark of bearmarkets and they usually end up chopping inexperienced or over leveraged traders. Customised structured products offer a solution for market participants that want to limit their downside, but also the upside, by introducing knock-outs at certain levels or triggers. Such custom options, usually with lower probabilistic chances of occurring, naturally come at a discount. This allows traders to hedge their risk, while also betting on certain outcomes or market scenarios.

We were joined by Zhiming Yang, co-founder of Orbit Markets, to discuss crypto derivatives and how TradFi expertise applies to customising structured products for crypto markets.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Zhiming’s background in investment banking
  • FX derivative products
  • Exotic options
  • Crypto structured products
  • Custom solutions for crypto miners
  • Hedging Uniswap V3 impermanent loss
  • Options based on prediction markets
  • Managing counterparty risk
  • Protocolising structured products
  • Differences between TradFi and DeFi
