Understanding FTX Leveraged Tokens
BULL, BEAR, ETHBEAR, and ETHBULL are ERC20 and BEP2 tokens issued by FTX. These tokens can be purchased from a spot market similar to other tokens. One doesn’t need to bother about managing collateral, liquidation prices, margin, or other requirements while dealing with leveraged assets. The leverage exposure of the above-mentioned tokens is as follows:
- 3X Long Bitcoin Token (BULL)
- 3X Short Bitcoin Token (BEAR)
- 3X Long Ethereum Token (ETHBULL)
- 3X Short Ethereum Token (ETHBEAR)
The FTX tokens have leveraged exposure to digital currencies. The leverage exposure shows the percentage rise or fall of the token value in comparison to the leveraged currency. For instance, in the case of ETHBEAR, a 1% or fall in the value of ETH implies a simultaneous 1% surge or drop in the value of THHBEAR.
