TradFi Assets (Derivatives)

The TradFi Assets (Derivatives) category covers crypto tokens and protocols that represent or facilitate derivative instruments originating from traditional financial markets, including futures, options, and structured products linked to conventional assets such as equities, indices, interest rates, or commodities. Unlike traditional derivatives that rely on centralized issuers or clearinghouses, tokens in this category typically operate without a single identifiable issuer, instead using smart contracts or decentralized protocols to create synthetic exposure to TradFi-derived instruments. This category is distinct from broader DeFi derivatives categories in that it specifically focuses on products bridging traditional financial markets and on-chain infrastructure, rather than crypto-native perpetuals or options on digital assets alone.
