The product idea:

The structural product is focused on effective utilization of deposited stable coins in landing (debt) services on Binance Smart Chain, Alpaca Finance, in particular. We offer a short-term renewable strategy for market participants with guaranteed capital preservation and a bitcoin movement rate.

The idea’s core is that most of the funds (around 100%) are being deposited through Venus, Alpaca, etc. To receive a yield there are purchased options for a respective pair and an expected movement direction.

The main factors that may impact the BTC rate in the nearest future:

  1. US Presidential Administration’s decision to regulate stablecoins and positive comments from the FED’s head
  2. Possible licensing of cryptocurrency ETFs
  3. Preparations for Taproot update
  4. Correlation with stock market: possible correction in US and China can also affect Bitcoin price.

Product maintenance

Minimum funds volume: 50 000 BUSD
Term: starting from 10 days

Execution of orders for options purchase at Maker fee is possible by placing an order through the deltatheta Trading Desk.

There are a few strategies, depending on a chosen movement direction of the BTC price

1. “Growth” rate on BTC/BUSD from the current price (central strike)

Deposit placement of 50 000 BUSD in Venus / Alpacа, the expected income for the period October 7 — October 17 will be: (8.11%/365)*10 =0,2221%

The yield on the deposit for 10 days is 111 BUSD.

CALL option purchase with a central strike (54 000 for BTC) with expiration on October 15. Accordingly, the costs will be:

  • 33 BUSD (option purchase price) and 2.5BUSD (trade fee on delta.thetа), thereby, 3 contracts are purchased.

2. “Decline” rate on BTC/BUSD from the current price (central strike)

Deposit placement of 50,000 BUSD in Venus / Alpacа, the expected return for the period October 7 — October 17 will be: (8.11%/365)*10 =0,2221%

The yield on the deposit for 10 days is 111 BUSD.

PUT option purchase with a central strike (54,000 for BTC) with expiration on October 15. Accordingly, selling costs:

  • 20 BUSD (option purchase price) and 2.5BUSD (trade fee on delta.thetа), thereby, 4 contracts are purchased.

Profitability and risks

In this strategy, losses are limited only by the premium, which is 111 BUSD. Responsibility for the safety of funds and a guarantee of return of funds is on Venus / Alpaca landing protocols.

3. Participation in growth if the movement is higher than 56 000 BUSD.

In strategy, the deposit is saved and CALL options are purchased with a strike of 56 000 BUSD with expiration on October 15.
