Onchain FX Options for
Emerging Markets
Secure the right to receive USD stablecoins at a fixed exchange rate. Every option is fully collateralised before sale.
Why Ledig Derivatives
Bringing Emerging-Market FX Protection Onchain
Ledig is building the derivatives and settlement infrastructure needed to make stablecoin-to-fiat FX more predictable across Africa and other emerging markets. Ledig Derivatives brings fixed terms, pre-funded collateral, and transparent settlement to FX agreements that are often managed offchain today.
Fully Collateralised
Writers lock the full USD stablecoin amount before an option can be offered.
Transparent Settlement
Series terms, quotes, purchases, and settlement are recorded onchain.
Built for Emerging-Market FX
Designed around real stablecoin and local-currency exposure, not generic crypto speculation.
