    Daily market commentary from 04.12.2020

    Good Morning!

    Chart: Tradingview

    A pretty early stage protocol called Horizon (horizon.finance) has caught my attention. Horizon is trying to bring interest rate swaps into the DeFi space. This is a super exciting prospect for me as a former interest rate swap trader.

    I have to say, however, that when I read the white paper it is not entirely clear to me yet just how this will work. Also, I am struggling a bit to see the use: who would be on the fixed leg side, and who on the floating leg side? This is a similar problem seen with HASH-rate futures.

    Nevertheless, it is definitely a project I will follow closely and check on from time to time.

    Now, happy trading, and have a good weekend!
