Developing Structured Financial Products in XDC

So there are different things that might happen and will happen,

especially on the XDC, and we are working on them,

and we're going to approach

them, uh, really soon, actually.

And, uh... But I believe this is going to be the major, let's say,

pinpoint for the

structured products and it's for the future.

Right. Very interesting to see that institutions are looking for the

same tools that they're already familiar with in traditional

finance, specifically for the, uh, yield generation and

downside protection. Now, Jeremy, let's, let's make it more

specific to XDC. Uh, a gentle reminder to our viewers that

nothing in this video is a financial advice.

So back to you, Jeremy. What are the structured products that are

available or being developed in XDC ecosystem?

We went live with the structured products with our friends and partners in Trade

Together in Singapore. Kudos to my friend, uh, Geoff.

And it's first of its kind. It's a yield-bearing downside

protected, uh, product which the way that it's going to

actually happen right now is when you are going to stake it, as I mentioned,

you're

going to get exposure towards the volatility of the token.

So the first thing that we did was we tried to give you

asymmetrical exposure toward the token, whether through a couple of, let's

say, the options that we are going to underwrite over there.

We are going to reduce your downside massively, and we are going to give you

some sort of exposure towards the downside,

but obviously it's not going to be

one-to-one.

And then we sat on it for a while, and then we came of it, "All right.

Right now I have this, let's say, the downside protected note.

Why can't I stake it?" So then we built a second structured product on top of it,

which is going to get a stake and it's going to generate yield.

It's a really fascinating product and I really loved working with Geoff.

And as I mentioned, the second thing that we actually went live, it's again

regarding the staking, and we went live with our longstanding

partners,

Uphold and Kel.

Uh, they did a fabulous job. It took us, uh, long hours of just talking and

going back and forth, but we made it happen.

Historically speaking, if you wanted to stake your XDC in XDC

network, you should

have had at least ten million XDC, and that amount, let's say

as of the current token price, and it fluctuates obviously in terms of

the dollar

amount. Uh, but in terms of the current price,

it's going to be

something around three hundred thousand dollars, which is quite a lot for the

average retail. But we brought this product in your doors

and

basically with the one tap of a click, you can stake it

through your trusted partner, whether they are the exchanges

or whether they are

the, uh, let's say, validator providers.

And I have a really good news for our clients in

European Union. I mean, European Union has been really difficult

to deal with.

They have many do's and don't. But we are bringing the same product to

Bitcoin Suisse. Bitcoin Suisse is one of the most trusted actually

exchanges in

the European Union, so we are partnering with them and we

are making it happen to a

stake with as less as, let's say, a hundred XDC
