Hedging

A hedge is an investment made to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in an asset or an existing investment position. It usually involves taking an offsetting position in a related security, such as a futures contract. For example, someone who owned a stock might sell a futures contract promising to sell that stock at a set price. 
One can use a wide variety of products and strategies for hedging, including options (e.g. purchasing a put option in order to offset at least partially the potential losses from owning a stock). Hedges reduce potential losses but also tend to reduce potential profits.

Some widely used types of hedging are:
Using hedging to manage exposure to commodities. For example, airlines buying or selling oil futures to protect them from rising fuel prices. The futures contract cushions the blow of the higher oil prices, acting as insurance.

In a June 24, 2020 interview, Hehmeyer told CoinDesk that he found the cryptocurrency and blockchain space dynamic and that it could lead to new types of products. “I hope to see people liberated from the burdens of intermediaries and liberated in their interactions with other people,” he said. “I think it allows people to have more control of their lives and their assets." 
On February 10, 2021, Hehmeyer LLC announced an agreement to merge its electronic liquidity provision business with Nortide Capital AG, a Swiss-based market maker in digital assets.
