Together, we’re creating a holistic approach to cyber risk management to help organizations strengthen their security posture while maintaining focus on their core mission of optimal patient care.”

The partnership will deliver six key solutions focused on de-risking M&A and vendor partnerships, leveraging frameworks, and optimizing cybersecurity investments, including:

Cybersecurity Investment Management: Helping organizations better understand which cybersecurity investments are providing a strong ROI, using such solutions as Clearwater’s Security Controls Validation Assessment.

M&A Transformation: Supporting the M&A transformation process during due diligence by conducting an in-depth, streamlined review of policies and procedures, governance programs, organizational structure, and security practices to provide an early indication of areas of excess risk.

Digital Health Acceleration: Working with digital health developers to advance strong cybersecurity and compliance programs that ensure the solutions they bring to market meet industry requirements and customer expectations.

Matrixport Launches Exclusive Structured Product “Buy Now Pay Later”, Pioneering Crypto Financial Derivatives Development

Published

By

SINGAPORE, Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Matrixport, the world’s leading all-in-one crypto financial services hub, announces the official launch of its exclusive structured product “Buy Now Pay Later(”BNPL”)”, providing users with a new option for crypto investments. Following the exclusive launch of its structured product “Dual Currency,” BNPL is another groundbreaking offering from Matrixport, potentially spurring the next wave of innovation in the crypto financial derivatives market.

As a unique crypto-structured product exclusively launched by Matrixport, BNPL combines crypto assets with installment payment warrants, allowing users to secure the potential returns of their investment targets in advance. On the maturity day, users can either pay the final payment to obtain shares of the investment target or choose to forgo the final payment and directly settle the down payment portion of the target in cash or opt to extend the contract. Presently, Matrixport’s BNPL supports BTC and ETH as investment targets, with more cryptocurrencies to be supported in the future.

Matrixport is committed to continuously diversifying the crypto financial derivatives offerings in the industry and driving crypto financial innovation. “Installment Warrants”, as a mature traditional financial investment tool, are not only the most popular type of warrant on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) but also a leveraged instrument used in Australian Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs). Matrixport’s BNPL innovates on these mature traditional financial products, closely catering to user needs. With the BNPL product, users can leverage small amounts of capital for large returns, fully utilizing the leverage effect without the need for additional margin, significantly enhancing capital utilization without taking on excessive liquidation risks.

John Ge, Matrixport CEO stated, “Crypto innovation is the bedrock of Matrixport’s long-term development. From the launch of the Dual Currency product to the introduction of BNPL, we have always been committed to providing users with user-friendly and easy-to-use crypto investment products, helping users capture more rational returns amid market volatility. As the crypto industry remains in its early stages, Matrixport will continue to promote the integration of traditional finance and crypto finance, lower the barrier for traditional capital to enter crypto finance, and drive the mainstream adoption of crypto finance.”

Recently, Matrixport has been accelerating its global expansion, acquiring a licensed Swiss crypto asset management company (formerly CFAM) to foray into the pan-European-compliant crypto asset management market. It has also initiated a brand upgrade, launching a Chinese brand name and slogan to enhance differentiated local operations worldwide. In addition, the structured product sector has also been continuously advancing, with the upgraded Shark Fin, Smart Trend, Seagull, and “Buy Now Pay Later” products all being successively launched on the Matrixport App. As Matrixport’s product line continues to be improved and its global-compliant operations develop, Matrixport is moving closer toward its goal of becoming the gateway to crypto finance.
