Shark Fin
Product Description
The Shark Fin strategy offers the perfect balance of stability and attractive returns. It is a 100% principal protected product that generates guaranteed yield for the investor. Additionally, users earn a bonus payout if the price of the underlying asset remains within a predetermined range.
To generate yield, the Shark Fin strategy trades an exotic options structured product known in TradFi as the ‘Shark Fin’, which combines an option with a bond (lending) component. Investors deposit their assets and accumulate a guaranteed yield, accrued daily on their capital, receivable after 27 days. Investors also receive a bonus yield payout if the price of the underlying asset (e.g., ETH, BTC) ends within the predetermined strike price and knock-out price range.
This strategy is tailored for conservative investors with a moderately bullish sentiment towards the market and are looking to secure guaranteed returns.
