Bitget2026/10/13 21:48- BitGo published a market analysis outlining how institutions use crypto derivatives to hedge risk, manage volatility, and gain synthetic exposure.
- It highlighted three main instruments: futures, options, perpetual futures, with different settlement structures, cost profiles, and risk exposures.
- Perpetual futures were framed as tools for indefinite hedges, with funding rates typically charged every 8 hours as the main ongoing cost.
- The analysis flagged counterparty risk, leverage-driven liquidation risk, and regulatory uncertainty as key constraints on institutional adoption.
- It cited bitcoin derivatives as a common entry point for institutions, due to higher volumes and tighter spreads than other digital assets.
