At the time of researching this book, the literature on crypto derivatives was still sparse. While I used a range of sources for this chapter (see below), I drew a lot of knowledge from following blog post: Berenzon, Dmitriy: “Synthetic Assets in DeFi: Use Cases & Opportunities” Sep, 6 2019, accessed Feb 2023. https://defiprime.com/synthetic-assets-defi
