The demand for crypto derivatives is taking flight as yield-hungry investors hunt opportunities in the face of macroeconomic headwinds.
Shifting Winds: Spots to Derivatives
Spot trading may have been crypto’s “OG” but the winds have shifted to make way for a new leader — derivatives. With derivatives volumes hitting 1.5 times the size of the spot market in 2021, the derivatives market emerged as an indicator for price movements, similar to traditional finance.
“Recently, what we’re finding is that the derivatives market is now the velocity of the price moves,” said Omid Zadeh, Head of Business Development EMEA, Matrixport.
Derivatives’ popularity lies in its leverage potential where investors can manage risk and trade at a lower cost with less capital. The market cycle has evolved and with derivatives’ soaring rise, looking at derivative volume patterns has now become an indication of who’s buying in the space.
