💥 The derivatives market is undergoing a fundamental transformation!
Today, traders have access to two key types of collateral:
✅ Stablecoin-margin positions — dollar-pegged, providing stability.
⚠️ Crypto-margin positions — based on volatile assets, susceptible to market shocks.
To assess the reliability of these types of collateral, the Realized Cap Leverage Ratio is used — a metric that shows the actual capital burden.
📉 From 2018 to 2021, the market was literally on a powder keg.
Cryptocurrency as the primary collateral + leverage up to 100x = a perfect storm.
Thus, in May 2021, this explosive mix became one of the key reasons for the massive crash.
🧨 But everything changed after the FTX collapse.
Since then, the market has gone through a harsh reassessment of risks.
📊 Today, the majority of open interest is held by positions with stablecoin collateral. This is not just a trend — it is a signal of the maturation of the entire industry.
⚖️ The bet is made on stability.
➡️ More responsible risk management.
➡️ Reduction of systemic vulnerability.
➡️ A reliable foundation for growth in the new financial reality.
