#### example

Let’s assume: A believes that the BTC price is likely to fluctuate between $77,500 — $100,100 over the next few days, but believes the final price will stabilize at a certain price within this range. Person A used 10,000 USDT to purchase the USDT-BTC bullish shark fin product.

The instrument expires in 7 days, the annualized rate of return is 1% – 99.43%, and the reference price is $77,500 – $100,100.

After this product expires, User A may face the following situations:

• If the settlement price at maturity is $100,000, final profit = 189.92 USDT (10,000*99.03% * 7 / 365). If $77,500

• If the settlement price at maturity is ≤ $77,500 or ≥ $100,100, User A will get 1% base APY, final profit = 1.91 USDT (10,000*1% *7 / 365)

2. Trend intelligent profits: Get enhanced profits by predicting market up and down trends, and bigger profits in one-way markets.

Trend Intelligent Profit is cost-protected structured finance. Users can earn high profits by just correcting the direction without having to accurately predict market conditions, and can earn guaranteed profits even if they guess the wrong direction. Currently, Matrixport Trend Intelligent Returns supports USDT, BTC, and ETH investments, and supports 7-day, 14-day, 30-day, and 90-day investment cycles.

*

#### Application scenario

Trend intelligent returns have greater advantages in one-way markets. The one-way strike mechanism has been removed, so even if the market price continues to rise or fall in one direction, your profits will not be reduced by strikes. This design allows Trend Intelligent Profit to outperform in bullish one-way market environments and provides the flexibility to capture one-way market trends. It is especially suitable for investors who have clear predictions about future trends.

*

#### example

Let’s assume: A believes that the BTC price will continue to rise over the next few days, and that the upward range will be between $75,500 — $92,500. Person A applied for the BTC Uptrend Intelligent Profit Product using 10,000 USDT. The instrument matures in 7 days, has an annualized yield of 0.8% – 63.3%, and a price range of $75,500 – $92,500.

After this product expires, User A may face the following situations:

• If the settlement price after maturity is $100,000, it exceeds $92,500 and regardless of the actual price, the applicant will enjoy the highest APY of 63.3%, final profit = 121.37 USDT (10,000*63.3% * 7 / 365);

• If the settlement price after maturity is $80,000, it will be located between $75,500 – $92,500, and A will enjoy enhanced APY according to the difference between the BTC settlement price and $75,500, final profit = 33.25 USDT (10,000*17.34% * 7 / 365).

• If the settlement price after maturity is $70,000, it will be below $75,500, so A will enjoy a guaranteed 7-day 0.8% APY profit, final profit = 1.53 USDT (10,000*0.8% * 7 / 365);

3. Snowball: Continuously enhanced returns in long-term volatile markets.

A classic structured product, the “snowball” can capture more profits in volatile markets. Snowballs have a “hit price” and a “hit release price”, and as the name suggests, when the snowball product purchased by an investor fluctuates between these two prices, the profits become bigger and bigger, like a snowball rolling in the snow. .

Matrixport’s “Snowball” product currently offers USDT Bullish Snowball, BTC Bullish Snowball, BTC Bearish Snowball, ETH Bullish Snowball, and ETH Bearish Snowball. Investment support periods are 7, 14, 30, 90 and 180 days.

*

#### Application scenario

Snowballs are suitable for investors who have a certain risk capacity and a clear forecast of market trends. When the market continues to fluctuate, snowballs can capture more profits. One thing to note is that currency conversion occurs when the snowball asset exceeds the protection price, and investors can flexibly settle according to the actual situation to avoid asset loss.

*

#### example

Let’s assume: A believes that the price of BTC will fluctuate over the next period of time and is likely to rise during the fluctuation. Person A applied for the BTC bullish snowball product using 10,000 USDT. This product expires in 7 days, has an annualized rate of return of 92.59%, BTC current price is $75,000, target price is $76,500, and protection price is $71,250.

After this product expires, User A may face the following situations:

• If the BTC settlement price at expiration is $70,000, then $71,250

• If the BTC observed price is $77,000 on the third day of the product’s run, the observed price ≥ $76,500 triggers a strike release event, takes an early target profit, and the product is settled early in currency. A can get profit = 76.1 USDT (10,000*92.59%*3 / 365).

• If the BTC observed price is $70,000 on day 3 of the product’s life, the observed price becomes ≤ $71,250 and a strike event occurs. The investor’s settlement assets undergo currency conversion and are settled in BTC at a price of $70,000. Finally A is recovered = 0.104 BTC [ (10,000*（1 + 92.59%*3/ 365 ) ] / 70,000 ].

4. Dual currency: Buy low, sell high, a useful tool in short-term volatile markets.

“Dual currency investment” involves two currencies, and the investment direction is divided into “selling high” and “buying low.” In general, choosing a “sell high” direction requires you to buy that currency, while choosing a “buy low” direction requires using USDT/USDC. However, there are exceptions. For example, in Matrixport’s “ETH/BTC” product, “Sell High” requires investing ETH, while “Buy Low” requires investing BTC.

The rational use of dual currencies can meet users’ different needs, such as target profit, bottom buy, asset holding, etc. “Dual currency investment” is a “non-guaranteed but fixed rate of return” financial product, in which the rate of return of the product is clear and fixed at the time of purchase, but the payment currency is uncertain. When a product expires, the payment currency is determined based on a comparison between the settlement price at maturity and the reference price.

Matrixport’s “dual currency investment” product supports 12 assets including BTC, ETH, ARB, BCH, BNB, ORDI, OP, has a wide investment period, and supports various investment cycles of 0.1-287 days.

*

#### Application scenario

Selecting sell high is equivalent to selling a rising option, while selecting buying low is equivalent to selling a declining option. Dual currency investing is suitable for investors who have a clear forecast of the current market trend, can buy or sell when a reference price is reached, and no trading fees are required.

For example, if an investor believes that the market will fluctuate in the future and chooses a dual-currency product with an appropriate period so that the price fluctuates between the upper and lower limits, the investor can earn high returns. If investors believe that they will enter a recovery phase after a short-term decline in the future, choosing an appropriately cyclical “buy low” product will not only allow them to buy the bottom at a low price, but also earn APY. If the user believes that there will be an upward correction in the future, they can choose a “sell high” product to have the opportunity to realize their target profit at the high point.

*

#### example

Let’s assume: User A believes that the BTC price is likely to rise slightly in the near term and would like to earn additional currency-based profits through dual currency, but User A does not want to pay transaction fees. Person A can use 1 BTC to claim the BTC dual currency product.

The instrument matures in 15 days, has an annualized rate of return of 96% and a reference price of $73,000.

After this product expires, User A may face the following situations:

• If the settlement price at maturity is $100,000, the settlement price is ≥ $73,000, so the dual currency sells the invested BTC principal and the BTC profit held at the price of $73,000, and the profit is settled in USDT. A’s final profit = 2,880 USDT (1* 73,000*96%*15 / 365).

• If the settlement price at maturity is $70,000, then the settlement price

5. Seagull: You can profit even in uncertain markets

Similar to the Seagull option principle in traditional finance, Seagull consists of a combination of three general option strategies with identical expirations. Simply put, Seagull is a dual currency product with a “special structure”, which has a risk structure similar to dual currency, but in the profit structure, Seagull solves the problem of traditional dual currency products missing profits in the one-way market, thereby expanding profits in the one-way market. You can do it.

Matrixport’s “Seagull” product supports BTC, ETH, USDT, and the cycle range can meet different customer needs.

*

#### Application scenario

Seagull’s usage scenarios are relatively wide. It can be used during market fluctuations, sideways movements or one-way uptrends. When users are not sure about the direction of the future price trend, they can use seagulls to lock maturity profits, and no asset conversion will occur unless the price at maturity reaches the conversion price. If a continuous one-way market occurs in the future, users can receive high enhanced profits.

*

#### example

Let’s assume: A believes that the price of BTC is likely to rise over the next period of time and would like to earn additional currency-based profits. Person A applied for the BTC rising seagull product using 10,000 USDT. This instrument expires in 15 days, has an annualized rate of return of 43.98% to 100.24%, a conversion price of $73,000, a base price of $74,000, and a maximum price of $76,000.

After this product expires, User A may face the following situations:

• If the settlement price at maturity is $100,000, then the settlement price is ≥ $76,000, earning the highest 100.24% APY, and A’s final profit = 411.94 USDT (10,000*100.24% * 15 / 365).

• If the settlement price at maturity is $75,000, then $74,000

• If the settlement price at maturity is $73,500, then $73,000

• If the settlement price at expiration is $70,000, then the settlement price ≤ $73,000 means the user will buy BTC at a price of $73,000, earning an annualized return of 43.98%. Finally A = 0.1394 BTC [ 10,000 *(1 + 43.98% * 15 / 365) ] / gets 73,000.

6. Installment Purchase: Buy first, pay later, lock your crypto assets with installment payments

“Instalment Purchase” is a crypto derivative of the traditional financial instrument “Instalment Payment Certificate”, launched as an industry first by Matrixport. Investors can use installment payments to lock in the potential returns of their crypto assets in advance and increase capital utilization. Installment purchases currently support up to 10x leverage and avoid liquidation without requiring an additional deposit.

Matrixport’s “Install Purchase” product supports BTC, ETH, USDT and a wide investment cycle of 0 – 365 days.

*

#### Application scenario

Installment purchases are suitable for investors who wish to maintain long-term exposure to cryptocurrencies such as BTC. Investors can purchase cryptocurrencies such as BTC with low initial payments, take advantage of potential upside returns on their holdings early, and maintain long-term market exposure. At maturity, investors can pay the balance and choose physical delivery to obtain cryptocurrencies such as BTC, or they can choose cash payment or automatic reinvestment without paying the balance.

*

#### profit mechanism

Let’s assume: User A wants to buy BTC, but is concerned about capital loss due to price fluctuations if he holds the spot. Installment purchases allow users to lock in future earnings of a certain amount of BTC by making a percentage initial payment.

If the real-time BTC price is $75,961, A has an 84-day investment period with an initial payment of $14,941, a balance of $68,000, and an expiration date of January 31, 2025.

After the product expiration date, User A can pay in the following ways: When your product is due, you have the following “Pay” or “No Pay” options:

1. Pay the balance of $68,000 and receive 1 BTC. Since the initial payout and balance amount are fixed, investors can profit from BTC price differences during the holding period;

2. $68,000 is automatically reinvested without paying the balance. If investors do not wish to pay the balance immediately, they can maintain market exposure by opting for automatic reinvestment, using the maturity settlement price as the initial payment for the next installment purchase product.

3. Pay for your installment purchase with the cash value of 1 BTC at maturity instead of paying the balance of $68,000.

The cash value payment formula is as follows:

CashValue = Max { 0, [ (결제 가격 – 잔금) / 결제 가격] * Purchase Quantity }

Note: The minimum cash value is 0, which means that even if the price of the reference asset falls significantly, the investor’s maximum loss is limited to the initial payment and no negative cash value is incurred.
