Zhiming Yang: Orbit Markets – Crypto Derivatives and Structured Products

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 bankingFX derivative productsExotic optionsCrypto structured productsCustom solutions for crypto minersHedging Uniswap V3 impermanent lossOptions based on prediction marketsManaging counterparty riskProtocolising structured productsDifferences between TradFi and DeFiEpisode links:Zhiming Yang on LinkedInOrbit Markets on TwitterOrbit Markets websiteSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
