“From Clifford’s perspective, the technology risks are manageable; Samani said at this point the returns don’t justify the risk of losing investor funds to a “smart contract” glitch, for any allocation of assets to DeFi.

“Corporates – whether they be oil companies or bitcoin miners – usually do not trade directly on exchanges. Futures exchanges are difficult to connect to, as entities must trade through an FCM (Futures Clearing Merchant). The emergence of liquidity in the listed options market will be the foundation for these types of hedges.
The existence of listed vanilla options on mainstream exchanges is only the beginning. This is the base on which a whole host of other volatility-related products can be built, particularly as it relates to corporate hedging and risk management. Ultimately, this helps reduce unwanted exposures and enables more investment. In this way, listed options serve as the starting point for a whole new array of products and services.“
