About Crude Oil (WTI)
WTI is the US crude benchmark and one of the most heavily traded commodities anywhere. It responds to OPEC meetings, weekly inventory prints and geopolitics, on schedules that ignore the NYMEX session. Synthetic exposure skips the commodity account and the delivery question entirely.

When you can trade it
24/7 on Continuum (vs. NYMEX limited hours)
OPEC+ meets on Sundays more often than not, and the decision is public well before any futures pit opens. EIA inventories land Wednesday mid-morning US time, and the tanker and pipeline news that repriced crude in 2022 and 2024 arrived at every hour of the day.
What people do with WTI
The two legs
WTI-L (Long Token)
Rises when Crude Oil (WTI) does. Hold it as long as you like: there is no funding and no carry on the long leg.
WTI-S (Short Token)
Rises when Crude Oil (WTI) falls, which is what makes it a hedge. The short leg carries a volatility decay, so it is not free to hold.
