Maple Finance, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has announced a new derivative product designed to meet the growing demand from institutional clients for digital assets. This offering allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) while providing downside protection against potential BTC underperformance.

Key Features of Maple’s New Offering:
  • Investment Strategy: The product utilizes yields from collateralized crypto loans to purchase Bitcoin call options, aiming to generate returns linked to BTC’s performance.
  • Target Audience: Tailored for institutional investors, the product requires a minimum investment of 100,000 USD Coin (USDC).
  • Yield Potential: Investors are offered a floor annual percentage yield (APY) of 4%, with the possibility of achieving a maximum APY of 33%, depending on Bitcoin’s market performance.

This initiative positions Maple Finance alongside other financial institutions offering similar Bitcoin-linked products. Examples include the National Bank of Bahrain’s Bitcoin investment fund and protected Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) issued by Calamos Investments.

The introduction of such structured crypto products has been on the rise since 2024, driven by increased regulatory clarity worldwide and the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as viable investment vehicles.

Many of these new offerings aim to mitigate downside risk, a concern familiar to crypto enthusiasts. According to Lucas Kiely, Chief Investment Officer at Yield App, experienced investors are seeking assurances that their tokens “won’t disappear in the blink of an eye,” referencing past market downturns.

Institutional investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin and other digital assets as essential components of a diversified portfolio, aiding in diversification and serving as a hedge against inflation. Since their debut on Wall Street in January 2024, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $39.9 billion in net inflows, reflecting the growing institutional appetite for crypto-based financial products.

In June 2023, Maple Finance launched a direct crypto lending program, filling the void left by the collapse of firms like BlockFi and Celsius. According to HTF Market Intelligence, the Bitcoin lending market is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 26.4% until 2030, with market size increasing from $8.6 billion to $45 billion.

Maple Finance’s latest product underscores the evolving landscape of institutional investment in digital assets, offering innovative solutions that blend traditional financial strategies with the unique opportunities presented by cryptocurrencies.

PERIODIC BURNING

A percentage of transaction fees from manual arbitration operations, in addition to the full amounts from License purchases for operations in the automatic arbitration system, will be used to burn Clash Hub Coin tokens. This will accelerate burning, decrease supply, and increase scarcity of the token.

100% of tokens converted to USDT during withdrawals from the staking system, arbitrage system and flash loans will be burned, promoting a continuous decrease in the total supply.

OBJECTIVE OF BURNING

Reduce 90% of the total supply over 1 year through periodic burning and conversions of staking rewards and token affiliate system into USDT. 90% of the supply will be burned, equivalent to 900 million tokens at a price of $0.01, corresponding to 9 million dollars in transaction volume. Then the current model of the affiliate system will conclude and the token will be launched in the public sale phase after the full burning of 90% of the supply.

Total supply of tokens will be burned and released on DEX`s for public sale at a price of $0.02, doubling the capital of Clash Hub Coin Token holders.
