What is the Best Time to Use Sideways Gain?
Sideways Gain (invest stablecoin) is built for you to use when the market is not volatile. It is an investment tool to earn a return in stablecoin at daily settlement until it drops to or at our recommended strike price that matches your target APY.
In the graph below, someone set the target APY to be 10000.00%, and the system finds the product that has a strike price of 22,000 and APY of 248.25% which is the closest one to the target. The product settles daily at 16:00 in the person’s time zone, and he earned more than 100%, sometimes even 300% APY each day.
How does Sideways Gain work?
Suppose you would like to invest in crypto but don’t know how the price of crypto will move in the future. Sideways Gain is the one for this scenario. For example, the current price of BTC is $20,000, and you would like to invest $18,000 to earn a 36% annualized yield by subscribing to Sideways Gain with USDT-BTC pair. Our system finds a product at a strike price of $18,000, which settles the next day for you to subscribe. In this case, the daily return would be 36% / 365 = 0.1%.
You would expect the following payoff at settlement the next day:
Scenario 1: Price of BTC ≥ 18,000 USDT, you get (1+0.1%)*18,000 = 18108 in USDT
Scenario 2: Price of BTC < 18,000 USDT, you get (1+0.1%) = 1.001 in BTC
In other words, if the market price stays above the strike price, you’ll earn interest in stablecoin. And if the market price drops below or at the strike price, you’ll buy cryptos at the strike price with investment + interest earned.
