More Details
As with all quanto contracts, the AVAXUSD product will have a fixed Bitcoin multiplier regardless of the USD/AVAX price. This allows traders to long or short the AVAX/USD exchange rate without ever touching either AVAX or USD.
Traders post margin in XBT, and earn or lose XBT as the AVAX/USD rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors which results in the AVAXUSD swap trading at a premium / discount to the AVAXUSD spot price – see our blog post explaining the same concept for ETHUSD.
