Example 1: Investing in BTC to buy a BTC_USDT dual currency product
User A invested in $1 BTC to buy a Gate.io Dual currency product with a linked price of $20,000. When the product expired on February 1, 2021, user A would receive:
(1) If the settlement price of BTC_USDT < 20,000 USDT, the payment will be settled in BTC, and the payment amount is = 1 BTC * (1+100%/365*31)=1.0849 BTC
(2) If the settlement price of BTC_USDT is ≥ 20,000 USDT, the payment will be settled in USDT and the payment amount is = 1 BTC * 20,000 * (1+100%/365*31) = 21698.63 USDT

Example 2: Investing in USDT to buy a BTC_USDT dual product
User B bought $20,000 USDT on Gate.io Dual currency product at $20,000. When the product expired on February 1, 2021, user B would receive:
(1) If the settlement price of BTC_USDT ≤ $20,000 USDT, the payment will be settled in BTC and the amount of the payment is = $20,000USDT/20,000*(1+100%/365*31)=1.0849 BTC
(2) If the settlement price of BTC_USDT > $20,000 USDT, the payment will be settled in USDT, and the payment amount is = 20,000 USDT*(1+100%/365*31) = $21,698.63 USDT
In summary, when the product is settled, users can get 108.49% of the collection of payment. However, the numerical relationship between the settlement price and the linked price can change the final currency collected by the user.

Q7. When is the best time for users to get started with a Dual Currency product?

- Make profits: To earn part of the investment profit and obtain higher income, users can sell the cryptocurrency held at the target price;
- Buy at a low price: When the market is going down, users can buy cryptocurrency at the target price, that's, to obtain higher yields by "buying the dip";
- Increase cryptocurrency holdings: Users can buy more cryptocurrencies when they have already held some cryptocurrencies and want to continue profiting from them;
- Hold more stablecoins: Users can purchase more stablecoins when they have already owned some stablecoins and want to continue profiting from them.


Q8. Why is the APR of Dual Currency Products so high?

A Dual Currency Product is a financial product derived from selling options. When you sell options, you will get the premium from the buyer, and the premium will be used to pay interest to users. The amount of premium varies with the difference between the underlying price and the linked price. The closer the underlying price is to the linked price, the higher the APR and the higher the risk.


Q9. What are the risks of Dual Currency Products?

- It doesn't allow users to withdraw assets within the holding period, which will decrease the liquidity of the asset.
- According to the product rules, the settlement currency is determined by the comparison between the price of the linked currency and the linked price at the time of expiry and delivery. When the market fluctuates drastically, it is difficult to predict the comparison outcome of the settlement price and the linked price at expiration. This puts currency-based investment users at the risk of investment currency being converted. However, Dual Currency products also provide yield compensation for currency conversion risks. The higher the probability of currency being converted, the higher the yield of the product.
