How it works
One hedge, from wallet to close.
OXHEDGE lets you protect against, or trade, moves in emerging-market currencies using stablecoins in your own wallet. This page walks through a single hedge step by step.
The problem
Stablecoins moved the money. The currency risk stayed behind.
A Lagos importer can pay a supplier in USDC in seconds. Hedging that same invoice against the naira still takes a bank line, a forward contract and weeks of paperwork, if the bank offers it at all.
OXHEDGE puts the hedge where the money already is.

Hedge gains ₦35,003,000 and offsets it. You pay funding and fees only.
Hedge: Buy USD / Sell NGN · Margin at 5x ≈ $50,000 · Est. liquidation 1,148.10 · Rate 1,400.12
What this means
You owe $250,000 and earn in naira. If the naira weakens 10%, the same bill costs ₦35.0M more.
A Buy USD / Sell NGN hedge of $250,000 gains roughly the same amount, so your cost stays close to what you planned.
You put up $50,000 in at 5x. Lower means more margin but a price further away.

Who uses it
One market. Four reasons to be in it.
Lock in what your imports cost.
If you earn in local currency and pay in dollars, every devaluation eats your margin. A hedge on OXHEDGE gains when your currency weakens, so the invoice costs what you planned.
