Binance Earn has launched Discount Buy, a new structured product designed to help users target buying cryptocurrency below the current market price or earn fixed rewards based on market movements.
This product is particularly beneficial in low-volatility markets, allowing users to automate their entry price and potential rewards without the need for constant market monitoring, offering a strategic approach for those looking to accumulate crypto without the pressure of perfect timing.
Discount Buy operates on a few key settings that users will be able to toggle: Target Buy Price, Knockout Price, APR, and Settlement Date.
Target Buy Price: the price at which users aim to purchase crypto, typically set lower than the current market rate. If the market reaches this level at the product's expiry, users can buy crypto at this pre-set price. The Settlement Price is the average market price during a specific window on the Settlement Date, which determines the outcome for the user.
Knockout Price: a threshold, where if the Settlement Price equals or exceeds this level, users do not buy crypto but receive their full investment back plus APR rewards. The Settlement Date marks the end of the Discount Buy product, dictating whether funds will be used to purchase crypto, earn rewards, or a combination of both.
Settlement Date: there are three possible outcomes based on the Settlement Price relative to the Target Buy Price and Knockout Price.
If the Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Target Buy Price, 100% of the investment is used to buy crypto at the Target Buy Price.
If the Settlement Price is higher than the Target Buy Price but lower than the Knockout Price, 50% of the investment is used to buy crypto, and the remaining 50% is returned in stablecoins.
If the Settlement Price equals or exceeds the Knockout Price, no crypto is purchased, and the user receives their full investment back plus APR rewards.
Discount Buy is most effective in stable markets where prices do not fluctuate significantly. It is ideal for users who hold stablecoins and prefer a structured, hands-off approach to growing their portfolio. Unlike other structured products, Discount Buy is favored by those who wish to accumulate crypto at a chosen price, offering a potential return if the market moves higher. However, it is important to note the risks involved. Funds are locked until the Settlement Date, and there is a possibility of purchasing crypto at an above-market price during high volatility. Users should thoroughly understand the product mechanics and assess their risk profile before investing.
To subscribe to Discount Buy, users need to log in to their Binance account, navigate to the appropriate section, select their crypto, and set their preferred parameters. Once subscribed, funds are locked until the Settlement Date, and users can track their active products through their account history.
Discount Buy is only available in selected countries.
