Cryptocurrency derivatives marketplace, Delta Exchange has launched the World’s first stablecoin-settled futures on bitcoin and leading altcoins.
With the days of one way up moves in cryptocurrency prices behind us, the global crypto trading action is moving to futures exchanges. Trading crypto futures has several advantages:
(1) a trader can go both long or short,
(2) can use leverage to amplify trading gains and
(3) enjoy lower trading fees.
However, most crypto futures exchanges accept margin only in bitcoin. This means regardless of what crypto a trader is betting on, she is long bitcoin. Delta Exchange is removing this limitation by pioneering crypto futures that are margined and settled in USDC. USDC is a stablecoin that is pegged to the US Dollar. Consequently, USDC settled futures are quite similar to US Dollar settled futures.
How are stablecoin-settled crypto futures Gamechangers
In a futures trade, margin serves as collateral. The profit/ loss from a trade will either add to or subtract from the margin. When margin is in bitcoin, then the dollar value of the margin changes due to both trade profit/ loss as well as bitcoin price. Since most traders think of their net worth in dollar-terms, the impact of bitcoin volatility on margin value is usually unwanted. Keeping margin in USDC solves this problem elegantly as only the trade profit/ loss impacts the trader’s net worth.
Stablecoins have already revolutionized spot cryptocurrency trading. The market share of crypto to crypto trading was miniscule before the introduction of USDT. The exponential increase in USDT market cap and USDT pairs trading is a testament to the intrinsic demand for stablecoins in crypto trading. Delta Exchange believes that introduction of USDC-settled futures will address this need in crypto futures trading and will provide a major fillip to cryptocurrency derivatives trading.
How stablecoin-settled futures on Delta Exchange workDelta Exchange offers USDC settled futures for bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and ripple (XRP). The prices of these futures contracts are in US dollars, but the margining and settlement currency is USDC. Delta Exchange allows only bitcoin deposit and withdrawals. However, traders can change BTC to USDC in a couple of clicks using the ‘Currency Converter’. Even those users that are trading BTC-settled futures contracts can avoid bitcoin price volatility by converting their non-trading BTC balance to USDC.
