About Luxor & Hashrate Derivatives
The Luxor team has built a range of solutions for scaling blockchain infrastructure, including a globally distributed mining pool, firmware, an ASIC brokerage desk and RFQ platform, a wide variety of blockchain software, as well as Hashrate derivatives markets and tools.
Luxor has launched multiple OTC markets for Hashrate derivatives and will soon be launching a Hashrate Futures contract as well. Our products are designed for two main use cases:
A tool for Bitcoin Miners and those in the ecosystem, to be able to manage their revenue risk exposure.
A financial instrument that allows market participants to gain and manage exposure to Bitcoin Mining.
Our roadmap includes building out these markets as well as launching future financial instruments. As such we are expanding our Derivatives Team, seeking to hire an Associate Director - Derivatives Sales.
