Key Trends of International Trade in Derivatives

Abstract

In spite of global economic after-effects of pandemic (both biological and economic) risks of world economy fragmentation and severance of finance integration international trade in derivatives keeps on growing as a tool of ‘finance conciliation’ and it makes it necessary to research opportunities of this phenomenon widening. The article provides analysis of derivative market and shows key precedents that they set in international trade between different political blocks. The authors study the emerging market of crypto-derivatives, as development of blockchain technologies creates a new reality, which according to analysts, could embrace the next 400 years. Investigations of many investment companies show that extension of derivative market results in sustainable positive changes in various segments of economy, because now they cannot be controlled by political powers in different countries. However, this situation will remain intact only till the moment, when political structures learn to control their dynamics. The system of blockchain register changes traditional models and exercises positive impact on crypto-derivative market characterized by highest growth rate. Similar situation can be observed on digital asset market. Practical importance of the research implies the opportunity to estimate chances of developing mechanism of perfect competition, at least on this segment, which could permit to support positive economic changes and stability.
