🚀Crypto options have been on a rollercoaster ride from July 2021 to June 2022, with explosive growth followed by a drop in TVL and returns. Retail investors, you sure you're buckled up? 😂 #DeFi #Web3

🧐Options and structured products are complex beasts, needing active management. But hey, as demand for convexity and 0DTE options rise, institutional providers are building the needed infrastructure. Who said crypto was just for the tech nerds? 🤓

😲The problem? Market microstructure. Crypto started as a grassroots experiment, and the market structure that evolved was self-serving, unguided, and unregulated. But as crypto transitions from a fully retail market, these legacy challenges are becoming more addressable. Progress, right?

🔥There's a big focus on on-chain structured products, but don't forget about delivering crypto payoffs to traditional investors. As crypto becomes a key part of portfolio allocation, we'll see a strategic allocation capture that's more material than ever. Thanks to institutional grade products like ETFs, ETP, and non-listed notes. 🚀

🤔Adding BTC to a balanced portfolio can lead to improvements in both gross terms and as measured by both Sharpe and Sortino Ratios. And other crypto-based products can contribute positively too. Volatility products, anyone?

💡As spot bitcoin ETFs continue to be a massive success, the demand for product development will follow. The crypto structured product sector is set for exponential growth. And at ARP Digital, we're confident there will always be a demand for yield-bearing and volatility products.
