Wrapped Token Derivatives

Definition

Wrapped token derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from wrapped tokens, which are tokenized representations of other cryptocurrencies on a different blockchain. These derivatives allow traders to gain exposure to the price movements of underlying assets like Bitcoin or Ether without holding the native asset directly on a specific chain. They extend the utility and liquidity of wrapped assets within decentralized finance ecosystems. These instruments enable complex trading strategies.
