It started with @EthPrague and continued with 3 other highly relevant FinTechEvents during #FinTechWeekCEE.
Next week we are at Blockchain Week Vienna - meet us there.

Great chart @DeriveXYZ@0x_Atreyu.
Compressed IV tempts you to sell strikes closer to spot just to collect meaningful premium โ that's where the real risk lives.
Keep your strike distance disciplined and wait for vol to reprice before sizing up.
Volatility has been crushed across the board; ETH and BTC IV both halved in a month.
One trader on Derive recently expressed: "The lower IV gets, the more asymmetric the payoff for buyers and the more exposed the sellers."
๐ธ a16z nailed it: AI agents are becoming real economic actors, but they lack portable identity (KYA), verifiable permissions, and programmable payments.
Margarita Finance solves this with Agentic Yieldcoins.
Tokenized, rule-based strategies managed by agents. Agent-powered backend. Fully DeFi-composable and permissionless.
x20 Yieldcoins deliver institutional-grade option-based strategies on native tokens โ capturing option premium while protecting downside exposure.
Backed by Wall Street-type yield strategies. Wrapped into permissionless yield coins (e.g. CC20 targeting 20.1% APY + real-time portfolio mixer).
Plug & play infrastructure for agentic yield strategies. Decentralized AI agents and institutional AI agents now access via API & direct integration.
L1 treasuries (NEAR Foundation + Solana Foundation) already using it for treasury management.
Blockchains provide the rails.
Margarita delivers agentic capital at scale โ on-chain, auditable, and programmable.
The agent economy is earning yield. ๐ฅ
The recent DeFi hacks are deeply concerning.
The KelpDAO incident alone triggered over $13 billion in TVL outflows across major protocols, highlighting persistent smart contract and operational risks in the space.
In volatile markets like this, disciplined investors prioritize capital preservation.
If only there were just some rug-proof, yield-bearing tokens offering institutional-grade strategies. ๐
Stay vigilant and always DYOR
There are thousands of tokens with no options market.
No Deribit. No on-chain protocol. No puts. No calls. Nothing.
You can still write options on them.
An option is a bilateral contract. Two parties. One term sheet. If there's enough spot liquidity to delta hedge, you can price it.
We're doing this on tokens ranked 200, 300, 500+ on CoinGecko. Zero listed derivatives.
DEX pool with depth? CEX with volume? That's your hedge venue. That's all you need.
The crypto derivatives universe is 100x larger than what's listed on any exchange.
Most people are staring at the menu when they could be cooking.
PROMPT-TO-DERIVATIVE ๐คฏ
Left yesterdayโs @thecryptovalley event in Zรผrich with one takeaway: the "chatbot" era is over.
Algos drive 80% of TradFi volume, yet Web3 is still stuck on manual clicks. Our agentic features bridge that gapโturning natural language prompts into instant derivative execution.
By cutting human hesitation, we reduce execution latency by 90%. No more fumbling with dashboardsโjust intent meeting logic.
Three weeks ago we launched the $NEAR20 yield bearing token on @rhea_finance .
If you still have some questions on how those tokens work we recommend to check out our FAQ

ATTENTION: NEAR20, an Agentic Yield-Bearing Token has just launched via @margfinance
"The launch of NEAR20 represents a significant milestone in bringing institutional-quality yield products to the NEAR ecosystem" - Philipp Suarez, Head of Finance at NEAR Foundation
CoinDesk just ran the numbers: Aave's USDC yield sits at 2.61%. Interactive Brokers pays 3.14%. DeFi investors are now earning less than a traditional brokerage โ with smart contract risk on top.
The problem isn't crypto. It's the yield source. Lending-based DeFi yield was always a function of leverage demand, and leverage demand has collapsed.
Structured products yield a different source entirely: options premiums from institutional market makers. It doesn't compress the same way.
At Margarita Finance, our x20 Yieldcoins target ~20% APY by running revolving institutional time-tested strategies.
The yield crisis in DeFi is real. But it's a category problem, not a crypto problem.
"DeFi yields are crashing so hard that they can't compete with a traditional savings account."

The signal was clear โ tokenization of institutional-grade products is one of the stickiest use cases crypto has ever had. Real yields. Real structures. Real cash flows. On-chain.
Right time. Right space.
See you next year โ and weโre throwing a proper Margarita party next year @EthCC . Stay close.
