Singapore, Singapore, September 18th, 2024, Chainwire – New global crypto exchange offers competitive leverage and yield-earning cash sweeps, offering users up to 8% on cash and stablecoin balances.

Figure Markets, a leading decentralized custody marketplace for digital assets, today unveiled its global crypto exchange based out of the Cayman Islands, offering a wide array of new features and yield-earning opportunities. One of the standout offerings is a new yield sweep for eligible global users on cash and stablecoin balances with rates up to 8% annualized. U.S. users may also benefit from earning up to 3% annualized on USD balances held at an FDIC-insured bank.

Following its U.S. launch in August, the launch of the Cayman-licensed global crypto exchange is part of Figure Marketsโ€™ ongoing mission to democratize finance by providing robust trading options and advanced financial products to users worldwide. The global platform is designed to enhance the trading experience by offering a high cash leverage and a decentralized custody solution and cross-collateralization that keeps users in control of their assets, reducing the risks associated with traditional centralized exchanges.

โ€œWeโ€™re committed to righting the wrongs of the past and providing users with the tools they need to trade, borrow, and invest on the platform while minimizing exchange risk,โ€ said Mike Cagney, CEO and Co-Founder of Figure Markets. โ€œThis global expansion is a major milestone for us in addressing the issues caused by centralized exchanges and leveling the playing field for all traders. We are building a financial ecosystem where everyone has the opportunity to be an owner.โ€

Cash yields on non-USD and stablecoin balances are derived from an innovative fund backed by real-world assets on blockchain. The fund operates with daily liquidity and automatic sweeps to ensure user funds are always working to generate returns.

โ€œWe are excited to introduce this innovative feature that directly addresses the needs of our members,โ€ said June Ou, President of Figure Markets. โ€œBy offering the ability to earn high returns on idle cash while mitigating trading friction, we are empowering our traders to optimize their capital and enhance their overall trading experience.โ€

Along with the new yield offering, the exchange is also offering qualified members up to 5:1 margin. Exchange members can cross-collateralize their positions seamlessly – using BTC balances to buy ETH, for example. This will be complemented by upcoming higher and expanded leverage offerings, including a broad set of perpetuals covering crypto, commodities, FX and equities by year-end.
