Maximize crypto investments while hedging or capitalizing on market volatility
Nick Hammer, co-founder and CEO of BlockFills, commented: “Institutions have sought increasingly customizable strategies to help maximize their cryptocurrency investments while hedging against or capitalizing on market volatility. This structured product solution is our answer for these institutions. Combining TPAC’s 40-plus years of experience tailoring such solutions for volatile commodities with our best-in-class electronic trading technology solutions like Vision and Phoenix, institutions now have more customization and control over their cryptocurrency investment strategies.”

Structured products are a combination of options (puts and calls) combined into a pre-packaged trade. These trades are not offered on “legacy” or decentralized finance (DeFi) exchanges at this time and are considered “over-the-counter” (OTC) in legacy markets. The pre-packaged trade is negotiated between BlockFills and the prospective institutional client.
The primary benefit of structured product solutions is customization. Specifically, these solutions give institutions the ability to define risk parameters by customizing size, timeframe, desired payout and duration of the trade. Structured products also offer an alternative liquidity source.
The Chicago-headquartered institutional-oriented digital asset platform provides crypto liquidity to more than 800 customers across 50 countries.
As to TPAC, the firm is the cryptocurrency joint venture of commodities specialists Pack Creek Capital, LLC and Finance Michigan, Inc., and is bringing structures and exotic options to the emerging markets of cryptocurrency starting with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
