The fifth exchange, the world’s largest OKEx announced that it plans to bring to the trade the option of Future Tether (USDT). The idea is to offer a futures contract linear with a leverage of up to 100x. According to a press release, the contracts shall be an agreement daily, and offers peer support with Bitcoin, EOS, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin, Cash, XRP, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin VS and Tron.

A daily settlement process will move the Nlp is not performed in the Nlp done to ensure greater flexibility in the use of capital.

Competence of Future

If you are knowledgeable of these cryptocurrencies, they will be able to observe that it is happening a competition between Future Criptos traditional against Future of Stablecoins. OKEx argues that offer derivatives contracts based on stablecoins will offer a more simple and efficient for operators to navigate the market and calculate risks. Particularly with USDT, which is directly associated with the us dollar (USD). They argue that this will reduce the hassle of having to switch between the cryptocurrencies for those who record their gains and losses in value in USD. Lennix Lai, Director of the Financial Market in OKEx, decided to comment on it. He indicated that the exchange platform could implement more derivatives of stablecoins based on USD to provide hedging instruments that are similar and simplified. Lai also pointed out the reasons behind the choice of the exchange to offer futures contracts are linear, rather than inverse, for USDT: “most of the times, users are not willing to keep altcoins as margin, and also see that the contracts inverse in themselves are complicated to understand. We see that this contract is linear would be an open door for many new retailers”. The following two tabs change content below.
