What is a HedgeToken?
-
-
HedgeTokens are an innovative concept in the digital asset space that can hold immense value for traders and investors. HedgeTokens on HootDex are a risk mitigation tool designed to protect investors against potential losses arising from price fluctuations in various digital assets on HootDex. They offer a unique way for traders to mitigate their risks by gaining exposure to the inverse relationship of digital assets they may hold.
-
Pricing and Liquidity
-
-
HedgeTokens derive their pricing from the inverse percentage movement of the digital asset it is associated with on a tick-by-tick basis. This creates a distinct token with a unique pricing structure that begins at inception and gives traders and investors exposure to a risk mitigation tool across many digital assets listed on HootDex.
-
All transactions occur on-chain on the Pecu Novus Blockchain.
-
Unlike tokens that mirror the underlying asset’s initial price, HedgeTokens have their own distinct initial pricing. Artificial Intelligence is involved in the selection of that pricing and once determined and then those HedgeTokens are created on the blockchain.
-
Each HedgeToken has a liquidity pool associated with it on HootDex which creates an automated market maker scenario to aid in liquidity.
-
Future Listing Opportunities
-
-
HedgeTokens, being actual tokens created on the Pecu Novus Blockchain Network, have the potential to be listed on various centralized or decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges in the future.
-
This listing potential provides additional liquidity and visibility for HedgeTokens, enhancing their market accessibility globally.
-
The Mechanics of HedgeTokens
-
-
The price of HedgeTokens are directly impacted by the percentage movement in the price of the underlying asset on a tick by tick basis. They do not mirror the inverse of the exact percentage movement of the associates token, they are impacted directionally. So a 1% movement of a token will not correlate a 1% movement in a HedgeToken.
-
The digital asset space is ever-evolving and as such the HootDex team has embraced the mindset that innovation is everything. This is why HootDex introduced HedgeTokens in January 2024, a groundbreaking digital asset instrument designed to redefine risk management in the digital asset market. Offering a unique set of features, HedgeTokens offer a decentralized and innovative tool that combines sophisticated technology with simplicity for members and the overall digital asset markets.
