Gain­ing access to high yields on your Ethereum through fija’s ful­ly auto­mat­ed strate­gies, pack­aged as a reg­u­lat­ed security

This strat­e­gy gen­er­ates dynam­ic returns by pro­vid­ing ETH liq­uid­i­ty, earn­ing from trad­ing and bor­row­ing fees, while smart­ly hedg­ing to main­tain full Ethereum expo­sure. Seize this oppor­tu­ni­ty to reap high returns DeFi has to offer in a ful­ly com­pli­ant and very sim­ple way — through fija.

With robust risk man­age­ment trig­gers and auto­mat­ic rebal­anc­ing mech­a­nisms, your invest­ment stays pro­tect­ed and opti­mized for max­i­mum efficiency.

 

The strat­e­gy oper­ates on GMX, a lead­ing DeFi plat­form, by pro­vid­ing liq­uid­i­ty in form of ETH to the ETH-USDC pool. Returns are gen­er­at­ed through trad­ing and bor­row­ing activ­i­ties of traders in the pool. To main­tain the full expo­sure to ETH price move­ments, the strat­e­gy builds a hedge on Aave.

 

Invest in the fija ETH GMX Strat­e­gy and lever­age the pow­er of top DeFi pro­to­cols at the click of a but­ton — ful­ly regulated.

FIJA STRATEGY OVERVIEW

High yields on Ethereum by pro­vid­ing liq­uid­i­ty to GMX liq­uid­i­ty pools and hedg­ing volatil­i­ty and open inter­est risks on Aave for a ful­ly Ethereum delta-neu­tral strategy.

 

fija ETH GMX Strategy

The fija ETH GMX Strat­e­gy is based on the decen­tral­ized per­pet­u­al exchange GMX that oper­ates on the Arbi­trum and Avalanche net­works. The plat­form has under­gone an update to V2 in 2023 (read more about V2 here) and since then has been one of the most used plat­forms for traders and liq­uid­i­ty providers in the DeFi space.

 

Key Facts:

• Blockchain: Arbi­trum One
• Deposit Cur­ren­cy: ETH
• Tokens used: USDC, ETH
• Pro­to­cols used: GMX, AAVE

DETAILED STRATEGY DESCRIPTION

Liq­uid­i­ty pro­vid­ing on GMX

To gen­er­ate a return, the strat­e­gy pro­vides liq­uid­i­ty in the deposit cur­ren­cy ETH to the GMX liq­uid­i­ty pool ETH-USDC which facil­i­tates var­i­ous activ­i­ties for traders includ­ing long/short posi­tions and swap trades. Pro­vid­ing liq­uid­i­ty gen­er­ates returns from sev­er­al streams such as trad­ing & swap fees, trad­er liq­ui­da­tions and bor­row­ing fees that traders pay for using the pro­vid­ed liq­uid­i­ty. The annu­al return gen­er­at­ed by the pool is dynam­ic and depen­dent on the trad­ing activ­i­ty with­in the GMX ecosys­tem. The more trad­ing vol­ume gen­er­at­ed by traders, the high­er the return of the strategy.

Hedg­ing on Aave

By pro­vid­ing liq­uid­i­ty to the ETH-USDC pool on GMX, part of the deposit cur­ren­cy ETH gets auto­mat­i­cal­ly swapped to USDC as the pool is com­posed of both assets. As the strat­e­gy is delta- neu­tral with regards to ETH, it’s imper­a­tive to keep the full expo­sure to the price behav­ior of Ethereum. The strat­e­gy achieves this through a hedg­ing mech­a­nism uti­liz­ing the decen­tral­ized lend­ing plat­form Aave, where USDC is bor­rowed and used to buy ETH which is also pro­vid­ed as col­lat­er­al, effec­tive­ly cre­at­ing a long posi­tion for ETH.

 

While this pro­ce­dure is a cap­i­tal-effi­cient way to elim­i­nate the USDC price expo­sure of the strat­e­gy, there is one more aspect that needs to be con­sid­ered to achieve full ETH delta-neu­tral­i­ty. The liq­uid­i­ty pools serve as coun­ter­par­ty for users on GMX trad­ing the respec­tive mar­ket pairs (in this case ETH-USDC). This means that liq­uid­i­ty providers stand to gain when traders incur loss­es and vice ver­sa. As the posi­tions of traders and hence their wins and loss­es con­tin­u­ous­ly change, the strat­e­gy con­stant­ly mon­i­tors the open inter­est of the trad­ing pair which is a clear sign if traders are cur­rent­ly long or short on the trad­ing pair. The net effect of the open inter­est on the liq­uid­i­ty pool is includ­ed in the hedg­ing mech­a­nism, effec­tive­ly reduc­ing or increas­ing it depend­ing on the net posi­tions of traders.

Risk Man­age­ment & Optimization

To ensure the delta-neu­tral­i­ty of the strat­e­gy and the effec­tive­ness of the hedge mech­a­nism, the strat­e­gy has two dis­tinct rebal­anc­ing mechan­ics and trig­gers. The strat­e­gy con­stant­ly mon­i­tors the effec­tive expo­sure to the Ethereum price (which is intend­ed to be 100%). Should that ETH expo­sure become <98% of the total strat­e­gy val­ue, the rebal­anc­ing mech­a­nism is trig­gered, the hedge adjust­ed, and the ETH expo­sure re-gained.

 

The sec­ond rebal­anc­ing mechan­ic con­cerns the hedge mech­a­nism itself. The effi­cien­cy of the hedge posi­tion on Aave can be tracked using their so-called Health Fac­tor. The Health Fac­tor mea­sures the rela­tion between pro­vid­ed col­lat­er­al and loans that are bor­rowed against that col­lat­er­al. The Health Fac­tor has a low­er lim­it where posi­tions with a Health Fac­tor <1 are sub­ject to liq­ui­da­tion. The strat­e­gy has a defined tar­get Health Fac­tor of 1.5. The rebal­anc­ing of the strat­e­gy will trig­ger should the Health Fac­tor fall below the val­ue of 1.2 to avoid liq­ui­da­tion. On the upper side, the strat­e­gy will also rebal­ance should the Health Fac­tor rise above 1.7 to ensure max­i­mum cap­i­tal efficiency.

TOKEN CLASSIFICATION

The bonds are secu­ri­ties with­out a fixed term, with­out cur­rent inter­est and with­out fixed repay­ment. The bonds to be issued are each no-par val­ue, uncer­tifi­cat­ed, sub­or­di­nat­ed, token-based bonds that are sub­ject to a pre-insol­ven­cy enforce­ment block. For each bond to be issued, an issue-relat­ed fija Token with an issue-spe­cif­ic denom­i­na­tion (the “fija Token”) will be issued by the Issuer to the investors (the “Investors” or “Investor”) rep­re­sent­ing the rights under the bond.

 

To gen­er­ate the fija Tokens, the Issuer has had a smart con­tract cre­at­ed that links the fija Tokens to the bonds. This smart con­tract is called the “Vault Smart Con­tract” by the Issuer. A reg­is­ter is stored in the Vault Smart Con­tract. Investors are not entered in the reg­is­ter by name, but with their blockchain address.

 

The bonds do not have a fixed matu­ri­ty date. Matu­ri­ty of the bonds is sub­ject to ter­mi­na­tion by the investors or the issuer. Investors have the right to ter­mi­nate the bonds in whole or in part at any time with­out observ­ing a notice peri­od. The bonds do not bear inter­est on an ongo­ing basis. In the event of ter­mi­na­tion of the bonds, the investor is enti­tled to the deliv­ery of cryp­to assets in accor­dance with the for­mu­la set out in the Token Terms and Con­di­tions. The bonds will not be redeemed in fiat cur­ren­cy. After ter­mi­na­tion of the bonds, the investor receives the cryp­to assets iden­ti­cal in type and class to those which they sent to the issuer when sub­scrib­ing to the bonds.
