The headings
are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction of this Agreement. Expressions in the singular form
shall include the plural and vice versa, and all references to
the masculine genders shall include the female and neuter
genders and vice versa.
-
The words
“include” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by
“without limitation” or “but not limited to” whether or not they
are followed by such phrases or words of like import, and
“otherwise” shall not be construed as limited by words with

-
Features of BLVT
-
BLVTs are a
type of derivative product that allows you to gain leveraged
exposure to an underlying Digital Asset, without the requirement
to pledge collateral or meet certain margin requirements and
without the risk of liquidation.
-
Wealthmark is the
sole issuer of BLVTs and also a market maker in BLVTs. You may
request to subscribe for BLVT, redeem existing BLVT or trade
BLVT on the secondary market through functionality available on
the Platform.
-
Each BLVT has
an associated segregated account on the Platform (each, a
“BLVT Account”) that holds a dynamically
adjusted basket of USD(S)-M Futures Contracts referencing the
relevant Underlying referred to (the “Basket”).
For example, the “BTCUP” Token will reference a Basket of long
positions in BTCUSDT USD(S)-M Futures Contracts. The number and
type of USD(S)-M Futures Contracts included within a Basket are
automatically selected by a Wealthmark proprietary algorithm by
reference to the Target Leverage Ratio that the Basket is
looking to maintain.
-
The price at
which each Token issued with respect to a BLVT may be subscribed
for or redeemed (the “Token Price”), is
referred to on the Platform as the “NAV” and is intended to
reflect the current market value of the Token. This takes into
account the Basket Value of the associated BLVT Account that has
issued the Token and the applicable Leverage Ratio. It is
important to note that the Token Price will always differ from
the price of the Underlying.
-
If, at any
point, the Leverage Ratio of a BLVT falls outside the Target
Leverage Range, Wealthmark will rebalance the associated Basket
by
either buying additional USD(S)-M Futures for inclusion in the
relevant Basket or selling a certain number of USD(S)-M Futures
Contracts included within the relevant Basket, so as to bring
the Leverage Ratio back within the Target Leverage Range (a
“Rebalancing”). It may not always be possible
for the Leverage Ratio to be within the Target Leverage Range at
all times, such as in periods of extreme market volatility.
-
The Target
Leverage Ratio is not fixed and varies from time to time. As
such, Rebalancing will only occur when market conditions deem it
necessary rather than at predefined intervals. This reduces the
risk of any front-running of BLVT. Further information with
respect to Rebalancing of BLVT can be found here:
What Is
Wealthmark Leveraged Tokens Rebalancing.
-
In order to
provide a better trading experience for users, Wealthmark may,
from
time to time, make a BLVT subject to a reverse token split
process to consolidate the existing number of Tokens into a
smaller number of proportionally more valuable Tokens (a
“Reverse Token Split”). When extreme market
fluctuations decrease the value of a Token, a Reverse Token
Split may be initiated to boost the Token’s liquidity and price.
Wealthmark will announce the arrangements for Reverse Token
Splits
through the Platform prior to the effective time. Further
information on Reverse Token Splits can be found here:

Transacting in
BLVT through the Platform
-
In order to
subscribe for, redeem and/or trade in BLVT through the Platform,
you must have:
(a) set up a
valid Account;
(b)
successfully passed a user knowledge assessment to confirm your
understanding of the risks and features of Leveraged Tokens as
complex cryptocurrency instruments; and
(c) read,
understood and accepted the
Wealthmark Leveraged
Tokens
Risk Disclosure Statement (the
“BLVT Risk
Disclosure”) and the terms of this Agreement.
-
A list of all
Tokens available for subscription/redemption through the
Platform can be found on the following webpage:
Wealthmark
Leveraged Tokens | BLVTs. Each Token references a
specific Underlying. You may choose to take positions in “UP”
Tokens and/or “Down” Tokens. “UP” Tokens follow the price
movements in the Underlying and allow for you to realize between
1.25x-4x leveraged gains when the price of the Underlying rises,
whereas “DOWN” Tokens take an inverse position to the Underlying
and allow for you to realize between 1.25x-4x leveraged gains
when the price of the Underlying declines. Each BLVT Account
associated with an “UP” Token will take a long position in
USD(S)-M Futures Contracts referencing the Underlying whereas
each BLVT Account associated with a “DOWN” Token will take a
short position in USD(S)-M Futures Contracts referencing the
Underlying. For example, a BTCUP Token will reference a Basket
of long positions in BTCUSDT USD(S)-M Futures Contracts whereas
an ETHDOWN Token will reference a Basket of short positions in
ETHUSDT USD(S)-M Futures Contracts.
