Indices are a popular product in traditional finance with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, S&P Futures or Nasdaq Futures, allowing traders exposure to the whole market. The new products would soon be complimented by a copy trading option, as well as on-chain U.S. Treasury Bills, WOO X chief operating officer Willy Chuang said.
“We’ve observed cryptocurrencies going from vertical to vertical, from AI to meme coins, layer 2s etc., and it’s challenging for retail traders to keep up and identify individual winning tokens,” Chuang said in an interview.
“Now, they can invest based on different sectors, thereby reducing the risk of exposure to a single asset in volatile conditions. This approach, coupled with the copy trading product we’re about to launch will help in fostering adoption and enhancing awareness within the legacy market.”
The WOO X index products will allow both retail and sophisticated investors to craft more complex strategies, said Evgeny Gaevoy, founder and CEO of Wintermute.
