🔧 Parcl real-world utilities
Parcl v3's underlying vision is to deliver a secure, open platform for users to get exposure to real estate with maximum efficiency — namely the lowest marginal costs, highest liquidity & the lowest barriers to entry.
Beyond speculative trades, what are some of the different ways to leverage Parcl organically in real-world use cases?
Let's explore 👇
Utility 1: Hedge your RE investments
If you are a homeowner, chances are that your RE investment overshadows every other allocation in your portfolio in absolute terms.
But, how do you hedge your risks here?
→ With instruments like REITs, you cannot short with geo-specificity. Users only get general access to commercial RE like shopping malls, office buildings etc.
→ Messing with your loan structure is a sub-optimal solution
You realize that the only available avenue would be to sell your property and move out. But, you don't want to move, nor do you wish to relinquish your great mortgage rates.
What other alternatives do you have?
Enter, Parcl.
If you own an apartment in Paris:
1️⃣ Head over to the Paris index on app.parcl.co
2️⃣ Lock in a short trade at 4-5x leverage
3️⃣ Realize gains, or keep hedging — as your strategy dictates.
Utility 2: Synthetic insurance
🏡 You have exposure to a property in a coastal city. You are alerted of an extreme weather event bearing down on the location.
How do you protect the value of your property? Getting a last-minute insurance is out of the question.
Here again, Parcl is an ideal solution. You can short the city with leverage and hedge — minus the funding rates.
Utility 3: Hedge your downside as a renter
You are a student, relocating to a new university, new city. You rent an apartment.
You anticipate a significant appreciation in real estate prices,
You wish to gain some exposure to the upside (without owning a home) and/or hedge your downside (rent appreciation).
Before Parcl, this was an impossible trade. Now, it is as simple as 1,2,3...
