The highly anticipated Flare airdrop has begun.
In addition to our already live futures contract (FLRUSDTH23), BitMEX users can now trade FLR with up to 50x leverage via two new listings – FLRUSD and FLRUSDT.
If you haven’t yet signed up for a BitMEX account, you can do so here.
FLRUSD Quanto Contract Specs
As with all quanto contracts, the FLRUSD product has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the FLR/USD price. This allows traders to long or short the FLR/USD exchange rate without ever touching FLR or USD.
Traders can post margin in XBT, and earn or lose in XBT as the FLR/USD rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the FLRUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the FLRUSD spot price.
For an explanation of the same concept, check out this blog post referencing ETHUSD.
