Crypto AQ offers a wide variety of Bitcoin derivative contracts depending on your own investment need. We only focus on non-conventional or exotic derivative contracts and we do not offer any conventional derivative contracts such as futures or forwards. Depending on your size of investment, we can tailor a derivative contract for you with special features. As an OTC derivative house, we usually hedge all our exposure through sophisticated mechanisms such that counter-party risk could be minimized. Currently the two most popular products we are offering are Bitcoin Accumulator and Bitcoin Decumulator.

Bitcoin Accumulator is a derivative contract that allows you to buy a fixed amount of Bitcoin at a pre-determined price periodically. For example, you may enter into a Bitcoin Accumulator contract such that you are obliged to buy 1 BTC at 10,000 USD/BTC (regardless of change in market price) every day during the contract life. Usually, the contract price is better than the market price when the contract is opened, and therefore you can earn a steady profit even if the market price of Bitcoin does not change during contract life. Decumulator works in similar way but with an opposite direction, i.e. you are obliged to sell fixed amount of Bitcoin at a pre-determined price during the contract life. The general terms are as follow:

Note: The above terms are for illustration purpose only and do not constitute any terms of products offered by us. We also offer other Bitcoin derivative contracts.

Example A: 7-Day 5 BTC Bitcoin Accumulator

Assuming you enter into a Bitcoin Accumulator contract with the following terms:

After entering the contract, the Reference Price of each settlement is as follow:

On your first settlement day, your profit will be calculated as:
[(M_t – P_t) x No. of Bitcoin per Day] / M_t BTC
= [(15500 - 15000) x 5] / 15500 BTC
= 0.16129033 BTC
And your overall P/L is as follow:

You will receive your initial deposit + 1.50544762 BTC after settlement on Day 7.

Example B: 7-Day 5 BTC Bitcoin Accumulator (Knock-out)

Assuming you enter into a Bitcoin Accumulator contract with the following terms (same as Example A):

After entering the contract, the Reference Price of each settlement is as follow:

On your first settlement day, your profit will be the same as Example A, which is 0.16129033 BTC.
However, on Day 6, the reference price is 18500 USD/BTC, which is higher than the knock-out price and therefore knock-out is triggered. The reference price is then capped to the knock-out price when calculating P&L;:
[(M_t – P_t) x No. of Bitcoin per Day] / M_t BTC
= [(18000 - 15000) x 5] / 18000 BTC
= 0.83333334 BTC
And the contract will be closed on Day 6. Your overall P/L is as follow:

You will receive your initial deposit + 1.72294517 BTC after settlement on Day 6.

Example C: 7-Day 5 BTC Bitcoin Decumulator (Knock-out & Guaranteed No. of Bitcoin)

Assuming you enter into a Bitcoin Decumulator contract with the following terms:

After entering the contract, the Reference Price of each settlement is as follow:

On your first settlement day, your loss will be calculated as:
[(P_t - M_t) x No. of Bitcoin per Day] / M_t BTC
= [(15000 - 15500) x 5] / 15500 BTC
= -0.16129033 BTC

On Day 3, the reference price is 12500 USD/BTC, which is lower than the knock-out price and therefore knock-out is triggered. The reference price is then capped to the knock-out price when calculating P&L;:
[(P_t - M_t) x No. of Bitcoin per Day] / M_t BTC
= [(15000 - 13000) x 5] / 13000 BTC
= 0.76923077 BTC
And the contract will be closed on Day 3.

As the total volume of BTC you sold (i.e. 15 BTC) is less than the guaranteed No. of Bitcoin (i.e. 20 BTC), the difference of 5 BTC (20 - 15 = 5) will be sold at the last settlement price, i.e. the knock-out price:
[(P_t - M_t) x (Total Volume of BTC sold - Guaranteed No. of Bitcoin)] / M_t BTC
= [(15000 - 13000) x 5] / 13000 BTC
= 0.76923077 BTC
And your overall P/L is as follow:

You will receive your initial deposit + 1.93272677 BTC after settlement on Day 3.

Deposit Hedging Feature

Our Bitcoin Decumulator also comes with an optional feature called “Deposit Hedging Feature”. Enabling this feature allows you to short the same amount of your contract deposit during the contract life. The rationale of this feature is to prevent Bitcoin Decumulator investors to suffer loss from the depreciation of contract deposit in case the Bitcoin market price drops as predicted by the investor.

For example, if you enter into a Bitcoin Decumulator contract with a contract deposit of 10 BTC and Deposit Hedging Feature. The reference price on day 0 is 15000 USD/BTC. When the contract closed, the reference price on last settlement dropped to 12000 USD/BTC. Apart from your original profit from the Bitcoin Decumulator contract, you will also record a P/L of:
Initial Deposit * (Day 0 Reference Price - Last Settlement Reference Price) / Last Settlement Reference Price
= 10 * (15000 – 12000) / 12000 BTC
= 2.5 BTC

Note: The last settlement reference price will not be capped by knock-out price
However, if the reference price of last settlement is higher than the reference price on day 0, you will also record an additional loss.
