Crypto is booming again. Are you a bull? In which case you might like to purchase a derivative to gain a leveraged long exposure (a call option or long forward/future). Are you a bear? In which case you might like to purchase a derivative to hedge your downside (a put option or short forward/future). All of these are now possible in private and public crypto derivative markets. Either way, you might be curious to understand more about these fascinating, nascent markets.
You are in luck because the Mayer Brown team have written a practice note for Practical Law, giving an overview of crypto derivatives - the forms they typically take and how they are documented. A link can be found below. Please contact us if you would like a pdf copy of the note, or would like to discuss crypto derivatives in more detail.
