STRAPTRADEWhitepaper

NFTs moved culture.
Now, let’s move
the market.

Milady collectible portrait

Collections have communities, conviction and value. What they need next is financial infrastructure.

STRAPTRADE is building a decentralized exchange for leveraged exposure to NFT collections, without buying or selling the underlying NFTs.

The culture evolved.
The tools need to follow.

01 / LIQUIDITY

Collection exposure without waiting on one NFT sale.

Trading an individual NFT depends on finding a buyer for that asset. Collection-level synthetic exposure creates another way to participate in the direction of a collection.

02 / MARKET ACCESS

Trade the collection view, not the collectible choice.

A trader may have a view on a collection without wanting to own a particular item. A synthetic index separates that market view from ownership of the underlying artwork.

03 / HOLDER UTILITY

Collateral expands what ownership can do.

The protocol design includes eligible NFT collateral and NFT-backed credit, extending the proposed role of a collectible beyond simply buying, holding or selling it.

Different perspectives.
A shared market.

01 / COLLECTORS

Keep the connection to your collection.

NFT-backed credit is proposed as a way to access liquidity using an NFT as collateral. Borrowing terms and eligible assets are still to be defined.

02 / TRADERS

Trade the direction, not an individual item.

Synthetic collection indices are designed to support long and short exposure. Positions remain distinct from ownership of the underlying artwork.

03 / COMMUNITIES

A financial layer around shared culture.

The vision is to bring more market tools to the collections people already follow, while keeping collection identity at the center.
