In the Context of Derivatives, How Might an Established Company Use a Token to Hedge Risk?

An established company can issue a token whose value is inversely correlated with a specific business risk, or whose utility mitigates that risk. For example, a commodity-producing company could issue a token that grants future access to the commodity at a fixed price.

This effectively hedges against future price volatility of the commodity. The company can also use token futures or options contracts to lock in prices for services denominated in the token.
