Along with the perpetual swap market launch, the company also released a new system of risk management. The vision was to support the users with surround the traders with more and more options for trading and also to offer them with an added layer of immunity against market ups and downs. As a result, the new risk management system has zeroed down the issues surrounding the futures and perpetual swap markets. This system even proved to be highly effective even under extreme market turbulence. The good performance has resulted in the greater trust from the traders, retail customers, and institutional customers onto the company’s crypto derivative products. The company has not rested and wants to push the boundaries even further.
Now, we can come back to the US$4,567,888-equivalant Bitcoin to Foster Perpetual Swap Market. The aim behind this donation is-
- The donation amount will be used to compensate a ‘margin call before clawback is triggered’ as per the company.
- The amount of the funds is inversely proportionate with the ‘clawback.’ Therefore, higher insurance funds promise greater protection.
- A greater sense of security will convince and attract newer customer to the company.
The Head of Operations of OKEx- Andy Cheung said-
No clawback has occurred on OKEx perpetual swap since its launch. We introduced a new risk management system to strike a better balance between avoiding early liquidation and maximizing traders’ benefits.
