Optimistic about the digital asset derivatives track
In the current digital asset exchange field, there are problems such as insufficient industrial concentration, low efficiency, and insufficient professionalism, and there are a lot of business and capital opportunities.
BitWell officially stated that the digital asset derivatives market is growing, but it is mainly based on futures trading, and the existing futures trading has exposed many problems, which can no longer meet the needs of investment. At present, in the field of digital asset derivatives, there is no platform with comprehensive products. BitWell’s goal is to build a comprehensive derivatives platform with a comprehensive product line. This is also the investment of Ceyuan Digital Fund, Dragonfly Digital Capital, etc. An important reason why institutions are very optimistic and invest.
In the future, in addition to options, BitWell will also launch perpetual contracts, as well as various other innovative derivatives to provide users with a more comprehensive and diversified product experience.
