Dual Currency product Introduction:
Dual Currency Product is a non-principal protected investment product with floating return. The yield of the product is secured at the time of purchase, while the currency in which the product will be settled changes depending on how the Settlement Price compares with the Linked Price.
Dual currency linked price is a fixed price that for comparing settlement price after the redemption of the product;Settlement price is the the average of the BTC price Index in the last 30 minutes before 16:00 (UTC+8) on redemption Date.
Dual Currency Settlement Rules:
If the Settlement Price is below the Linked Price, the product will be settled in the Investment Currency, i.e. BTC
If the Settlement Price is above the Linked Price, the product will be settled in the form of USDT
Dual Currency Example:

On 2020/06/01, User A bought 1 BTC notional of the above product.
On 2020/07/01
If the Settlement Price is below USD 10,000, Users A receives his/her original investment and the 0.4% yield in BTC. Therefore, she receives 1*(1+0.4%) =1.004 BTC.
If the Settlement Price is at or above USD 10,000, User A receives his/her original investment and the 0.4% yield in USD. Therefore, she receives 1*10000*(1+0.4%) USDT = 10040 USDT
Simply put, User A will be guaranteed a 0.4% yield on the expiry date. The only uncertainty is whether she will receive the return in BTC or USDT, depending on where BTC/USD stands on the redemption date.

A:Yield and Linked Price are two important parameters of Dual Currency Product and would change hand in hand. Highest yield does not always indicate the best option- risks and returns go hand in hand as well, please select product your risk tolerance.
