Zhiming Yang: Orbit Markets – Crypto Derivatives and Structured Products
Manage episode 401428588 series 1652309
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
