- OKX has introduced a new feature called Nitro Spreads on its crypto exchange platform.
- Nitro Spreads enables traders to execute complex basis trades with ease and efficiency.
Leading crypto exchange OKX has unveiled its latest offering, “Nitro Spreads”, on its institutional Liquid Marketplace. This groundbreaking tool enables traders to execute complex basis trades with a ‘single click’, streamlining the process and enhancing efficiency.
Basis trading involves capitalizing on the price difference between two distinct markets, such as spot, perpetual, and futures contracts. Nitro Spreads simplifies this strategy by automating the simultaneous management of both trade legs, leveraging OKX’s superior liquidity and low latency to maximize user benefits.
One notable feature that sets Nitro Spreads apart is its execution via a central order book, mitigating leg risk commonly associated with basis trading in the crypto market. This innovative approach ensures seamless execution and eliminates potential complications.
Traders utilizing Nitro Spreads can also select a guaranteed spread for their trades, reducing the risk of unexpected price slippage. The platform matches and settles trades instantaneously, further enhancing its efficiency and convenience.
Moreover, the user-friendly interface of OKX’s Nitro Spreads facilitates the execution of various basis trading strategies. Institutional traders can employ popular delta-one spread strategies like calendar spreads, future rolls, and funding rate farming, all presented in an order book format.
