What’s New at LedgerX?
In a bold move to carve a niche in the ever-evolving crypto landscape, LedgerX has launched a brand-new savings product for Bitcoin (BTC) users, as reported on May 15. This isn’t just any product; it’s got the thumbs-up from the US Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC), ensuring that everything is on the up-and-up. After all, who’s got time for shady dealings in the world of digital currency?
The Power of Licenses
This shiny new spanner in the works comes with a CFTC derivatives clearing organization (DCO) license and a swap execution facility (SEF) license, which Juthica Chou, the Chief Operating Officer at LedgerX, confirms is crucial. Why? Because she believes that getting these licenses isn’t merely bureaucracy; it enables them to offer a buffet of services:
- Earn a fiat yield on Bitcoin assets—no more waiting for Bitcoin to appreciate!
- Utilize a nifty call overwrite technique for strategic trading.
- An easy-to-navigate interface that invites even the most inexperienced bull traders.
Understanding the Call Overwrite Technique
The concept of call overwriting might sound like crypto jargon that only financial wizards can decode, but hang tight. In plain English, it involves depositing your precious BTC into LedgerX and then selling a call option with a slightly longer expiration date and a higher strike price. This technique allows you to earn what they call a fiat-based yield on your holdings—talk about a clever way to make your Bitcoins work overtime!
Interface Designed for Everyone
After all, what’s the point of sophisticated features if only a handful of users can grasp them? LedgerX’s new product is all about accessibility. The new interface allows users to easily specify the number of BTC they want to earn yield on and select their anticipated implied rate:
“This interface will definitely be skewed to the long Bitcoin holders, who likely only deposit bitcoin and want to earn interest off of that Bitcoin.” – Juthica Chou
Market Trends and Trade Volume
In the past three months, there’s been a significant shift in LedgerX’s trading behavior. Surprisingly, 70% of the trade volume has come from options, averaging an eye-popping $60,000 per trade. The options contracts offered have durations of three and six months, with corresponding transaction fees for each service. Looks like traders are hungry for options!
What’s Next?
In addition to LedgerX’s latest triumph, the crypto realm saw the Chicago Mercantile Exchange fleetingly join the Ethereum bandwagon by launching a reference rate and real-time index to the US dollar. Partnering with Crypto-Facilities, they debuted the “first regulated” Ethereum futures, but that’s a tale for another day.
So, as the crypto world spins faster than a rollercoaster, LedgerX is inviting savers to hop on board the Bitcoin savings train. With their user-friendly features and backed by trusted licenses, it looks like a solid investment opportunity for those ready to earn while they hold!
