How Friktion’s Volt unlock Yields for Defi Hedge funds
As we round up the final tests for the upcoming Friktion integration we wanted to give an overview of how defi option vaults generate returns and help fund managers to diversify their portfolios.
Firstly, What are defi option vaults?
Dubbed as DOVs are vaults in which investors/traders can simply stake their assets which deploy assets into options strategies. The strategies deployed provide the highest base yield in defi averaging 15–50% and the yields are auto compounded every epoch.
The strategies used by these vaults are covered calls and cash-covered put strategies more coming soon.
Let’s try to cover the basics of these strategies below:
What are covered calls?
A covered call is a strategy which involves holding the underlying asset and writing a call option on the same underlying to collect a premium over the call without the strike being hit, by selling covered call options, the profit comes from an increase in the price of the underlying index above the exercise price, but they bear the risk of a decline in the index price or the call option expiring in the money.
What are cash-secured puts?
Cash secured put is where you put up a quoted asset against an underlying asset. Selling a secured put is anticipating an asset’s market value will stage above a certain price and collecting premium from buyers.
