VCs & Asset Managers

Venture capital firms and asset managers can deploy customized option strategies to generate yield across different assets.

1️⃣ Covered Calls on Locked Tokens

VCs and large investors can write covered calls on locked tokens to unlock liquidity without violating transfer restrictions.

✅ Key Benefits:

• Unlock liquidity while complying with vesting schedules

• Earn upfront option premiums

• Enable over-the-counter (OTC) matchmaking via perpetual hedging

Example:

📌 A VC holds $10M in vested WLD tokens, unlocking in 180 days. By writing a covered call with:

• 180-day expiry

• 50% strike price

• $4.95M upfront premium received

🔹 Outcome Scenarios:

• If WLD does not fall by 50% in 30 days → VC receives $5M in USDC (in-the-money).

• If WLD falls below the 50% strike → VC keeps their WLD tokens (out-of-the-money).

🔹 Execution Possibilities:

• Even if underlying tokens remain locked, trading firms can hedge exposure via perpetual futures.

• Depending on the vesting structure, settlement can be on-chain (via smart contracts) or off-chain (via escrow + legal agreements).
