Academic framework for the recalibration of yield benchmarks in tokenized institutional markets (v2.0, 2026).
The Covered Call Efficiency Ratio (CCER™) is a proprietary primary metric developed by DCM Core to quantify the impact of DLT-native settlement on option overlay strategies. Unlike the standard Omega or Sharpe ratios, CCER accounts for the atomic-delta provided by instant liquidity.
Traditional Sharpe calculations (Targeting 0.4 - 0.5 for simple yield) neglect the reduced cost-of-carry in tokenized environments. DCM Core models a theoretical baseline of ~1.1 for institutional covered call overlays on RWA collateral.
Note: σ_tech represents the smart-contract and oracle risk premium, currently modeled at 15-25 bps depending on the registrar (DORA compliant).
All model outputs presented on this site are derived from 5-year longitudinal backtesting using the following datasets:
| Asset Class | Source Dataset | Volatility Proxy |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Bonds | DCM Internal Registry (GTSR) | Bloomberg Barclays US Agg (Adj) |
| Institutional RWA | Chainalysis / Blockworks Research | Modeled 10-Year Treasury Yield |
| Option Premia | Deribit / CBOE VIX Data | DCM Core Volatility Model |
Our models assume 99.9% uptime of the underlying DLT settlement layer. High-frequency smart contract failures or systemic oracle lags are not fully reflected in the baseline Sharpe ~1.1. Backtest results (2021-2025) incorporate periods of extreme market volatility; however, past simulated performance is not an indicator of future audited results.
