#termmax @TermMax I used to think an FT was simply a fixed-rate claim I could hold until maturity.
Then I noticed that TermMax lets the FT be traded before maturity.
That made me look at the mechanism differently.
The FT represents the fixed-rate claim, while the GT represents the position containing the collateral and debt. So the claim can change hands while the position behind it remains represented by the GT.
That creates a more interesting question: when an FT changes hands before maturity, what exactly is the market pricing?
It isn’t only the fixed rate. Remaining time matters too. A claim with three months left can be priced differently from one with twelve months remaining.
So the FT becomes more than a claim simply held until maturity. Its value can change as the rate environment and time-to-maturity change.
And once these claims can trade, liquidity becomes part of the story. TermMax lets market makers configure range orders around specific rate ranges, helping create liquidity where users want to borrow, lend, or leverage.
The trade-off is interesting: transferability gives the claim flexibility, but it also makes price discovery more dynamic.
Whether users actually trade these claims actively across different rates and maturities is the part I want to see develop.
