Synthetic Instruments are financial products that replicate the economic characteristics of an underlying asset without requiring direct ownership. In decentralized finance, these digital assets often derive their value from real-world commodities, fiat currencies, or other cryptocurrencies. They enable users to gain exposure to various assets for hedging or speculative purposes. Such tools provide flexibility and access to diverse markets on a blockchain.
