MATIC STRADDLES ARE HERE! ✨

We are extremely excited to unveil the launch of our cutting-edge Atlantic product for Polygon users - Matic Straddles! This distinctive and innovative design offers users a new and engaging way to speculate on Matic’s price volatility. By depositing USDC, users can now contribute to the Matic Straddle pool, providing ATM (At The Money) short put option liquidity or long volatility through the purchase of "Matic Straddles." This feature allows users to capitalize on market fluctuations and potentially earn profits. We believe this new addition to Polygon will provide immense value to users, bringing forward a new financial tool for distinct strategy composability, and we really look forward to seeing all of you take advantage of it.

How does it function?⚡

By providing liquidity to the Matic Straddle pool, users are effectively selling a Matic ATM Put. This means that they are giving the buyer of the put the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specific amount of Matic at a specific price (the ATM, or at-the-money price) at a specific date in the future. By doing so, users are able to earn a premium for the risk they are taking on.

On the other hand, by purchasing a "Matic Straddle," users are buying a Matic ATM Put and borrowing 50% of its collateral to swap it for Matic (the underlying) to form a synthetic call payoff. A 50% put + a 50% call creates a "Straddle" like strategy, where users are able to profit from both a rise and a fall in the price of Matic. This is a highly speculative and advanced trading strategy that can be used to generate profits in volatile markets.
