AI Summary

The video explains how to hedge cryptocurrency positions to earn passive income from exchange activities like launch pools and flash sales, minimizing risk from token price volatility. The core strategy involves buying tokens on spot, simultaneously opening a short futures position, and monitoring funding rates to ensure net profitability.

[00:08]
Hedging as a Basic Crypto Skill

Hedging is presented as a fundamental skill for crypto traders and even non-traders, used for passive income on exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX.

[00:34]
Passive Income Opportunities

Launch pools, flash sales, megadrops, and staking offer passive income but often require holding volatile altcoins, which can lead to losses if the token price drops.

[02:04]
The Hedging Strategy

To hedge, buy the required token on spot, then open a short futures position for the same amount (adjusted for leverage) to offset price movements. Upon activity end, close both positions simultaneously.

[03:44]
Examples of High-Yield Activities

Exchanges like OKX offer 120%+ APY for staking certain tokens, and Bybit launch pools have seen 100-500% returns. Hedging allows capturing these rewards without price risk.

[04:59]
Funding Rate Impact

Futures positions incur funding fees every few hours. If funding exceeds the activity's yield, hedging becomes unprofitable. Monitor funding on different exchanges to choose the best.

[06:08]
Calculating Net Profitability

Subtract funding costs from the advertised APY to get net yield. If net yield is negative, exit the activity. For example, 120% APY with 20-50% funding cost leaves 70-100% net.

[06:50]
Practical Application

The speaker uses hedging for launch pools and staking on Bybit, monitoring funding, buying spot, opening shorts, and collecting rewards while ignoring token price fluctuations.

Hedging is a powerful tool to de-risk passive income strategies on crypto exchanges, but it requires careful monitoring of funding rates to remain profitable. Beginners should study futures trading and practice on testnets before applying real capital.

[00:08] I want to talk about hedging and how you can make money on crypto exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, and other well-known reliable exchanges. A very useful

[00:20] tool that you should know about. This, you could say, is the basic skill of a Kryptonian. Even those who don't trade at all use it. And yes, someone hedges in trading, and we'll talk about hedging for passive income.

[00:34] Most of you know or will learn about such activities on exchanges as launch pools, flash sales, megadrops, or cryptocurrency staking. These are activities on various exchanges where you can earn passively if you invest a certain

[00:48] cryptocurrency, which is written about in the terms and conditions for participation. For this, they give hourly or sometimes daily passive income, depending on the exchange. Simply put, for the race it's marketing, as for the project, and for us it's earnings. So, if you

[01:03] could throw USDT or USDC somewhere, these are stablecoins, whose exchange rate is one to one against the US dollar, that's good, that is, it's a risk-free topic. But in most cases, it happens that there are no stable coins here, but there is some altcoin that is

[01:19] more likely to fall to zero someday. And it has a very good percentage of return at the moment. If you are a holder of this token, then that's good, but if not, then the logic is simple. You can buy a limit or a certain amount to participate in the spot

[01:35] for stablecoins and participate. But this is not a stable coin and the exchange rate of such tokens is unstable. And it is logical that during demand due to such activities, this token can grow, and closer to completion it will only fall. And more chances and

[01:49] risk that you will lose on the course. And the profit from participating in a certain activity in a launch pool or flash room will not cover this for you. So, thanks to hedging, you can participate in such activities with the least risk, if you do a little math.

[02:04] What is hedging? Imagine the situation. Running starts a laune pool or flash earn. How to buy Sent token here. For example, you buy it for a certain amount, but there is a problem. While the tokens are in this field, their price may

[02:19] drop by 20-30%. As a result, you earned tokens from this activity, but lost more due to the price drop when you sold your spot to participate. And this is where hedging comes in, which, in simple terms,

[02:31] means insurance against price movements. The logic is simple. You simultaneously buy tokens on the spot, then throw them into activity on the exchange and open a short

[02:43] for the same number of tokens or amount with the first leverage or adjust the leverage accordingly so that the amount is equivalent to your spot purchase. And , of course, consider liquidation. That is, the amount, leverage, and liquidation calculation are indicated here

[02:59] . I think it's clear, right? You can hedge on any exchange. Binance, Bybit, and on the spot you buy in the same place where this passive activity is already taking place. If the token falls, you lose on spot, but you

[03:13] earn about the same amount on futures if it rises on the contrary. That means you almost don't care where the price will go. Your goal is to receive a reward from the exchange. That is why this strategy is very often used by various cryptothemes. That is, you buy, for

[03:28] example, on spot, then open a short with the first shoulder for the same amount that you bought on spot. And that's it. When you exit the activity, that is, the launch pool or flash pool, you close the futures and sell the spot at the same time. This

[03:44] works in launch pools, flash sales, mega drops, various cool stakings that are often launched with a high percentage, and other promotions on many platforms. Here, as you have already seen, is an example. OK pays 2% for placing

[03:59] Bitcoin and more than 120% per annum for placing Sen tokens. In the previous flash sale, the profitability for placing AI tokens was more than 200%. If you look at the Bibi market, there were also launch pools and there was also a fairly high profitability for various tokens when

[04:13] they were placed. And 100, and 200, and 500. So we're following this. You should definitely have these two exchanges , friends. I will leave links to them with top conditions, such as spot bonuses, futures bonuses with a discount on

[04:28] commission, in the description under the video so that you already have, so to speak, a maximum account, if you don't have one. And yes, without hedging, you risk the token falling sharply by 10-30%, depending on the situation . And with hedging, you practically

[04:42] eliminate this risk and actually earn on the reward. But there are also certain disadvantages when hedging for such activities makes no sense. And when instrument, on which most people lose money, because they have their own specific

[04:59] rules, when compared to spot trading. So, in futures there is such a thing as funding. This is the funding fee for an open position. It can be both positive and negative. That is, when the funding rate is

[05:13] negative, it means that most people are shorting this token on this exchange. And accordingly, these traders pay a commission to the langists. every few hours, which is indicated here, in our case every 44 hours. What am I leading to? When

[05:27] you plan to participate, you should always monitor this funding and calculate whether it is profitable to do so or not. For example, to participate in a flash sale, we need tokens and, accordingly, open a short for the same

[05:40] number of tokens. And at the moment we will have to pay a commission every 4 hours, which will change. So, if our profitability in So, if our profitability in flash is about 120% and then it may still

[05:52] fall, and the funding that we will pay, as they say, is about 20-50% on Bybit and a little less on Binance. Then you subtract it and get the net profitability at the present time. Therefore, as you understand, compare funding on different

[06:08] exchanges to make it more profitable. When funding exceeds profitability, it is clear that there is no logic in keeping tokens active and it is better to exit it and close the spot and futures. That is, sell on the spot and close the short on the

[06:23] futures. I showed you a current example of a specific situation. They are sometimes better, sometimes worse. It happens that the return actually stays above 300% per annum for several days, or even

[06:36] more. And it is profitable to do so. Therefore, friends, it is necessary to monitor all activities more closely . I write about most of them in my Telegram channel. About such pools. I even write that you can participate in many other

[06:50] crypto earning opportunities completely free of charge in this way. So subscribe, I'd be hedging, I often use them for launch pools. Sometimes staking on bybit is cool and many other promos with the same logic

[07:06] for participation. I see high profitability, I monitor, I calculate funding, I buy tokens on spots, I open a short for about the same amount and I calmly receive rewards while it is profitable. And I don't care anymore that during this time the token has either dropped significantly or so

[07:21] on, because I was making my temporary purchase on the spot. If the funding has turned around and become unprofitable, I simply withdraw from the activity and that's it. Therefore, if you are or will be involved in stock market activities, sooner or later

[07:35] you will have to learn how to use hedging. This is one of the most useful crypto tools. Not to take more risks, but on the contrary, to protect your capital and earn more steadily. I hope you

[07:50] understood something after watching this video. It may be a little difficult for beginners, but if you watch my other videos about pools and futures, you will understand everything after watching it again. That's all I have. Don't forget about useful links to the exchange

[08:04] and Telegram in the description under the video. Good luck to everyone and see you later. Yeah.
