Abstract
Digital structured products are still in their infancy but there is a growing interest in these products in particular from investors searching for higher-yielding assets in a low-interest-rate environment. Structured digital products such as Arca U.S. Treasury Closed-End Fund or the Genesis Capital cryptocurrency-backed lending are grounded in traditional financial principles enhanced with the efficiency of the blockchain. Others are novel applications of innovative blockchain technology, such as the Ethereum smart contract in the cryptocurrency-backed Dai stablecoin.
