Hedging: Achieving a Market-Neutral Position

The Market Neutral Strategy focuses on balancing both long and short exposures to achieve a market-neutral position. The process involves these steps:

  1. Start with a deposit of assets.

  2. Borrow USDC and ETH as needed to open both a long and a short position.

  3. Achieve a market-neutral stance through effective hedging of both exposures.

By employing this strategy, you can benefit from high APY on your paired assets while minimizing risk through hedging techniques.
