Trade perpetual contracts 24/7 with no expiry and no ownership of the underlying assets.
A non-principal-protected structured product that pays a fixed weekly coupon in stable or range-bound markets. FCPs enable wholesale clients to generate returns from their digital asset holdings, with potential early redemption if knock-out conditions are met before expiry.
