Multipli allows users to earn high yields on their tokens through arbitrage strategies. This approach leverages the combined strengths of centralised and decentralised finance to maximise returns while ensuring the best security and transparency for users' assets.

Leveraging Liquidity for Arbitrage

Liquidity Provision: Once your token is securely stored in Ceffu, Copper on-chain wallet, Ceffu provides our institutional trading desk with the necessary liquidity on major centralised exchanges, such as Binance and OKX. This liquidity is crucial for executing our high-yield generating strategies. Arbitrage Strategies Our institutional trading desk employs a combination of contango arbitrage strategies and spot perpetual arbitrage to generate synthetic yield on crypto tokens. By leveraging spot perpetual arbitrage, we capitalise on funding rates, ensuring consistent returns through market-neutral positions. Concurrently, our contango arbitrage strategy takes advantage of price differentials between spot and futures markets in contango conditions, securing risk-free profits. This dual approach enables us to maximise yield, minimise risk, and offer you reliable, high-performance yield generating opportunities in the dynamic cryptocurrency landscape. 1. Contango Arbitrage

Contango arbitrage is a trading strategy employed in the futures and spot markets to exploit the price difference between the current spot price of an asset and its futures price. This difference is captured by building a short position in futures and a long position in spot simultaneously.

Example:

  1. Identify the Arbitrage Opportunity: Notice that Bitcoin is in contango with the futures price being $5,000 higher than the spot price.

  2. Buy Bitcoin on the Spot Market: The trader buys 1 Bitcoin at the current spot price of $30,000.

  3. Sell a Futures Contract: Simultaneously, the trader sells a futures contract for 1 Bitcoin at the futures price of $35,000.

  4. Wait for Contract Expiry: Hold both positions (the spot Bitcoin and the short futures contract) until the futures contract is close to its expiration.

  5. Settle the Contracts: As the futures contract approaches expiry, the futures price converges with the spot price. Assume the spot price of Bitcoin at expiration is $30,000.

In this example, our arbitrage trade generates ~0.14 BTC in contango, providing significant returns on deployed BTC. This yield will be paid out in the native token i.e. BTC.

2. Spot-Perpetual Funding Rate Arbitrage Spot-perpetual funding rate arbitrage involves capitalising on the funding rate exchanged between traders holding long and short positions in perpetual futures contracts while maintaining delta-neutrality through the spot position. Example:

  1. Spot Market Purchase:

  • Purchase 1 BTC at $30,000 in the spot market.

  1. Perpetual Futures Market:

  • Open a short position of 1 BTC in perpetual futures.

  1. Funding Rates:

  • Assume the funding rate is 0.01% per 8 hours.

  • As a short position holder, we receive the funding rate payment.

  1. Daily Yield Calculation:

  • Funding payment per 8 hours = 0.01% of 1 BTC = 0.0001 BTC

  • Daily funding payments (3 times per day) = 0.0001 BTC x 3 = 0.0003 BTC

  1. Monthly Yield:

  • Monthly funding payments = 0.0003 BTC x 30 = 0.009 BTC

In this example, our market-neutral strategy generates ~0.009 BTC in funding rate payments over a month, providing significant returns on deployed BTC. This yield will be paid out in the native token i.e. BTC.

Conclusion

Our innovative yield generation platform combines secure custodial services with advanced arbitrage strategies to offer high yields on your deployed BTC. By leveraging the liquidity provided by Ceffu and executing arbitrage strategies on centralised exchanges, we maximise your earnings while ensuring the safety and transparency of your assets.
