What are Crypto Derivatives?

A derivative is simply a financial contract between two or more parties that derives its value from an underlying asset, in this case, cryptocurrencies. More specifically, it is an agreement to buy or sell a particular asset — be it stocks or cryptocurrencies — at a pre-determined price and a specified time in the future. Derivatives do not have inherent or direct value by themselves; the cost of a derivative contract is based on the expected future price movements of the underlying cryptocurrency.

• Futures: A financial agreement where a buyer has an obligation for a buyer to purchase an asset or a seller to sell an asset at a fixed price and a pre-determined future price. A crypto trading future contracting refers to a process, in which trader sets a pre-determined amount to be sold or bought sometime in the future. The contract is used when an investor is sure of his or her analysis of future trends in the market. It is one of the more sophisticated instruments that are rare to find in the crypto world. This issue is mainly due to high fluctuations in the value of coins.

• Swaps: A swap is an arrangement between 2 parties to exchange a series of cash flows in the future, usually based on interest-bearing instruments such as loans, bonds or notes as the underlying asset. The most common form of swaps is interest swaps, which involves the exchange of a future stream of fixed interest rate payments for a stream of floating rate payments between 2 different counter-parties.

Options: A financial contract is where a buyer has the right to purchase an asset or a seller to sell an asset at a pre-determined price by a specific timeline. Due to the infancy of the cryptocurrency derivatives market, there are only a few derivatives products available for the public at the moment. The most common cryptocurrency derivatives are Bitcoin futures and options, because Bitcoin controls over 50% of the entire cryptocurrency market capitalization, making it the most significant and most-traded coin around. A short position means that we believe that a drop in the price of Bitcoin will take place, and we want to profit trading against Bitcoin. Technically, short positions work by selling the asset first, and then later buying it. You don’t have to worry; the exchanges do this automatically for us. The second role for shorting Bitcoin is the option to hedge your portfolio. For example, if your collection consists of five Bitcoin and we want to hedge against the risk of Bitcoin’s decline, a 10X leveraged short position could be opened, and it would be equivalent to 40% of our Bitcoin portfolio. To open the position the amount required is only a tenth of it (10 times leverage). That means that we need to hold 0.2 Bitcoin. So, our Bitcoins are stored securely in cold wallets. However, don’t forget the risk of trading with leverage (especially the liquidation price of any position).
