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