Logarithmic Derivatives

Definition

Logarithmic Derivatives are financial instruments whose value or payout is linked to the logarithm of an underlying asset’s price, rather than the price itself. In traditional finance, these are used for specific hedging or speculative strategies. Their application in digital asset markets, while less common, could offer different risk-return profiles compared to standard derivatives. They present a sophisticated tool for managing exposure to price movements.
