Trading platforms and regulators are increasingly embracing cryptocurrency as collateral for trades.
Wintermute is accepting USDe, a cryptocurrency-backed stablecoin, as collateral for spot crypto and derivatives trades, the trading firm said on Oct. 25.
Wintermute’s clients can now post “USDe as collateral for options, [credit default swaps], forward, and spot trading,” the company said in a post on the X platform.
The stablecoin joins Wintermute’s existing roster of accepted crypto collateral, which includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and US Dollar Coin (USDC), Wintermute said.
