The derivatives market is a trillion dollar market all over the world. Derivatives are either listed or over-the-counter derivatives (OTC). Foreign derivatives are usually forward contracts, while listed derivatives are futures, options and swaps. A good explanation of these derivatives is here. At the time of writing, the Indian derivatives market value is 15 times that of the stock market. Our goal is to put the derivatives and securities markets in a block chain. In real world, derivative contracts are created, traded and settled by centralized or centralized exchanges. This intensive party creates derivatives, verifies buyers and sellers, guarantees transactions, and receives fees from buyers and sellers. The central party solved the issue of information asymmetry

Derivatives are contracts that derive value from other things (related assets). Futures, futures, options and swaps are popular derivatives types. Derivatives have two main elements: basic currency and underlying asset. When the underlying asset moves, the user enters or loses the reference currency. For example, the S & P 500 index trades in the future CME in dollars (base currency) and derives value from baskets (underlying assets) of S & P 500 shares. Why is this important for the encryption world? There are also tokens that are designed to provide token owner utilities. For example, if you have XYZ tokens, you can borrow and lend those platforms. The price fluctuation of the token may exceed the utility related to the ownership of the token. Market agreements allow traders to hedge price risks associated with owning tokens while maintaining XYZ token storage and utility consumption.

Siafunds is a revenue sharing token. I believe Siafunds is token-based security, not a practical token. Utility tokens are mainly evaluated by being used in a distributed network. In contrast, Siafunds derives value from the current and future value of storage - related transactions over the Sia network. Chartered Securities can be generally sold through Chartered Securities Products (TSO). This requires regulatory compliance to protect investors. The current TSO model is flawed (ie, the restrictions of recognized investors) but we believe this is a better and more honest funding model than ICO.
