Wintermute launches WTI crude oil contract for difference

On March 25, crypto market maker Wintermute launched WTI crude oil contracts for difference (CFD), an over-the-counter derivative that allows traders to speculate on oil prices around the clock. Flexible execution methods and margin options allow traders to use fiat or crypto assets as collateral through chat, over-the-counter electronic platforms or APIs. Unlike the "one size fits all" model of exchange-listed standardized perpetual contracts, CFDs provide customization flexibility.
