Interest Bearing Collateral
The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape is undergoing a renaissance. Amidst the remnants of past cycles, a new era is unfolding—focused on building applications that users genuinely want. At Derive, we're leading this revival by introducing interest-bearing collateral to our trading platform.
For the first time on any centralized or decentralized exchange, traders can deposit interest-bearing assets as collateral:
- weETH
- rswETH
- rsETH
- LBTC
- sUSDe
- sDAI
We're dismantling the status quo where assets sit idle, putting your holdings to work while you trade options and perpetuals.
Why Interest-Bearing Collateral Is a Game-Changer?
Traditionally, traders had to choose between staking assets to earn yields or using them as collateral for trading. This choice limited capital efficiency and potential returns. By accepting interest-bearing collateral, we're removing this barrier.
Unlocking collateral empowers traders. Earning passive yield on your collateral is transformative:
- Dual Earnings: Continue earning staking rewards while trading.
- Maximized Capital Efficiency: Borrow against your assets to amplify trading strategies.
- Advanced Strategies: Execute basis trades, covered calls, and more.
- Risk Management: Hedge positions effectively while accruing yield.
Our Vision
We're creating a fluid, efficient market where your assets actively participate in your trading strategy. By embracing interest-bearing collateral, we're breaking liquidity barriers and opening new avenues for profit and risk management.
We're not just adding tokens; we're expanding horizons. This integration is a technological leap, offering flexibility no other exchange provides. We're redefining what's possible in DeFi trading.
