PEPEUSD Quanto Contract Specs
As with all quanto contracts, the PEPEUSD product has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the PEPE/USD price. This allows traders to long or short the PEPE/USD exchange rate without ever touching PEPE or USD.
Traders can post margin in XBT, and earn or lose in XBT as the PEPE/USD rate changes.
A quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the PEPEUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the PEPEUSD spot price. For an explanation of the same concept, check out this blog post referencing ETHUSD.
