Markets are hoping for better times ahead but savvy investors know to get the sails up when rough winds start blowing. Before the storm hits, arm yourself with these seven sizzling onchain strategies to help reduce potential portfolio downside.
Here's where I'm looking for refuge in this choppy market👇
💥 Crypto Volatility Index
You may have heard about the VIX, a popular “fear gauge" that measures the market’s expectations for movements in the S&P 500 index, but did you know that a similar product exists for crypto markets?
Crypto Volatility Index (CVI) is a decentralized index that tracks implied volatility on major cryptocurrencies – primarily BTC and ETH – and allows traders to profit from unexpectedly sharp swings in market prices.
The most recent iteration of CVI offers up to 16x leverage and introduces Ultra CVI, a new token that offers 3x the volatility exposure of CVI. By using native leverage in combination with Ultra CVI, speculators can amplify their volatility exposure up to 48x compared to the base CVI index.
💥 BOOM! UCVI jumped nearly 40% after Trump’s crypto reserve bombshell, check our chart!
