Introducing Wintermute Asia’s New Contracts-For-Difference (CFD) Offering
15 FEB 2024 | NEWS
Bridging the gap: OTC derivatives for institutional investors
Wintermute Asia is excited to introduce a new contracts-for-difference (CFD) product as part of our growing OTC derivatives offering. The addition comes in response to the increased demand we’ve seen in recent months from institutional investors looking for broader exposure to the digital asset ecosystem.
The growing interest underscores the need for sophisticated financial instruments that can provide reliable access to the burgeoning world of digital assets. Our new CFD offering is designed to meet institutional requirements effectively, providing an efficient gateway to digital asset markets through a familiar instrument. Moreover, CFDs present an attractive alternative for counterparties that may not typically be able to trade underlying assets or trade perpetual swaps directly on crypto exchanges.
Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO and Co-Founder of Wintermute Group commented, “The launch of Wintermute Asia’s CFD offering is a strategic step towards addressing the intricate needs of institutions navigating the complexities of digital asset trading or looking to mitigate exchange counterparty risks. Our CFD product not only makes digital asset exposure more accessible for institutional investors but also eliminates the need for direct infrastructure to manage and secure the underlying assets. It reaffirms our commitment to providing sophisticated yet accessible entry points into the digital asset markets, tailored to the demands of our institutional counterparties.”
Wintermute Asia CFDs: Flexible funding and no auto liquidation
Our CFD product offers flexible funding schedules, allowing TradFi institutions to easily integrate digital asset trading into their existing operational frameworks. Reflecting Wintermute Group’s deep liquidity across a wide range of digital assets, CFDs are available in both majors and a wide range of altcoins. At launch, you can trade CFDs via our industry-standard FIX API with 99.9% uptime or through chat, with NODE UI support coming soon.
Addressing the unique challenges and opportunities in digital asset trading, our dynamic margin methodology is designed to optimize capital efficiency and consolidate risk across the entire portfolio, rather than on a trade-by-trade basis. It allows for a range of fiat and crypto collateral options. On top of that, to enable a smooth trading experience, our offering eliminates auto-liquidations.
Through the combination of these features, Wintermute Asia’s CFDs aim to provide its counterparties with a robust offering that marries the familiarity of traditional finance mechanisms with the opportunities presented by digital assets.
