Every DeFi venue talks about capital efficiency. Almost none of them offer collateral reuse.

Capital Efficiency Isn’t About Leverage

It’s not about TVL.

And it’s definitely not about “points.”

It’s about how many trades your capital can support — simultaneously.

Because capital that’s siloed, double-counted, or stranded is capital that isn’t working.

The Illusion of Efficiency

Protocols love to advertise low margin requirements.

But look closer:

• You post collateral on one pair
• Then post again for another
• Then again for a hedge
• Then again to trade the inverse

Suddenly, your capital is posted four times — and used once.

There’s no efficiency in that.

Only marketing.

If your platform doesn’t recognize collateral reuse, you’re not saving capital — you’re burning it.

What Real Capital Efficiency Looks Like

• Unified collateral pool
• Risk-based netting
• Margin relief for structured positions
• Zero fragmentation between pairs, legs, or trade types

Capital should move with your strategy — not get stuck in separate silos.

That’s what allows desks to:

• Run simultaneous positions
• Size trades dynamically
• Hedge without locking liquidity
• Scale without leverage hacks

How Jetstream Reuses Collateral

Jetstream clears every trade against your portfolio — not just your position.

That means:

• Collateral is evaluated holistically
• Hedged positions reduce requirements
• Structured legs unlock efficiency
• Capital moves across markets and strategies

You’re not penalized for being sophisticated.

You’re rewarded for managing risk.

Bottom Line

DeFi doesn’t lack capital.

It lacks capital mobility.

Jetstream brings reuse, compression, and netting — so your balance sheet works as hard as your trading strategy.
