1. Market Gap: Why Existing Platforms Fail Mature Traders
1.1 Compliance Challenges
Data Insight: 73% of institutional investors cite “regulatory uncertainty” as the primary barrier to adopting crypto derivatives (Fidelity Digital Assets, Q1 2024). Key compliance shortcomings in the current market include:
Insufficient Custody Transparency: Many offshore exchanges lack audited reports or verifiable proof of asset reserves.
Delayed Regulatory Response: Implementation of the EU’s MiCA (2024) and the latest U.S. CFTC guidelines remains slow.
Leverage Position Risks: Some platforms fail to adequately manage leveraged positions, risking liquidity crises.
1.2 Trading Efficiency Bottlenecks
Traders in the current market face distinct core pain points:
Trader Type | Core Need | Current Limitation |
Quantitative Funds | Sub-millisecond execution | Retail platform API rate limits |
Compliance Officers | FATF Travel Rule integration | Dominance of anonymous accounts |
Active Retail Traders | Cross-margin efficiency | Excessive collateral requirements |
This prevents large-scale institutional capital inflows, limiting the depth and efficiency of the crypto derivatives market compared to mature financial markets.
