More Details
As with all quanto contracts, the FILUSDT product will have a fixed Bitcoin multiplier regardless of the Tether/Filecoin price. This allows traders to long or short the FIL/USDT exchange rate without ever touching either FIL or USDT.
Traders post margin in XBT, and earn or lose XBT as the FIL/USDT rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors which results in the FILUSDT swap trading at a premium / discount to the FILUSDT spot price – see our blog post explaining the same concept for ETHUSD.
