The new crypto derivatives product allows investors to speculate on future hashrates and hashprices.
Bitcoin (BTC) mining firm Luxor Technology Corporation and Bitnomial Inc. have launched a Bitcoin mining derivative product on Bitnomial’s United States derivatives exchange.
On May 28, Bitnomial announced the launch of Hashrate Futures, a derivative futures contract for trading the computing power of the Bitcoin blockchain.
Bitnomial claimed the product, trading under the ticker HUP, offers a way for miners to hedge their revenue and for investors to gain exposure to the Bitcoin mining hash rate.
