By purchasing a <mark style="color:green;">C</mark><mark style="color:yellow;">R</mark><mark style="color:red;">T</mark> token series ex. **crt**ETH instead of ETH, you are taking advantage of **risk management** and **risk mitigation**; allowing you to make profit from short term price trends. While purchasing cryptocurrency directly such as ETH , users are using money and leaving ETH position directly exposed to price corrections i.e. "naked position' that mean revert over time.

With <mark style="color:green;">C</mark><mark style="color:yellow;">R</mark><mark style="color:red;">T</mark> Token trading (each token is nominally pegged to 1 USD) you can profit if Ethereum price rises, without taking on all of the downside risk that would result from owning ETH. Your losses are limited to **only what you have submitted** as <mark style="color:green;">C</mark><mark style="color:yellow;">R</mark><mark style="color:red;">T</mark> collateral, for a price difference between spot and some future value, giving users flexibility to short or long any asset for any specified amount of time . These short term trends are prevalent in crypto markets, with a finite `contract expiration` , users could supplement their crypto holdings with synthetic <mark style="color:green;">C</mark><mark style="color:yellow;">R</mark><mark style="color:red;">T</mark> contracts taking advantage of mean reverting trends..
