CanHav Research: Simplifying the complex and fast-evolving world of crypto derivatives
The volume is at 4x spot-market levels, reaching a record $8.94 trillion in August 2025!
On October 10th, more than US$19.13 billion in leveraged positions were wiped out in 24 hours as over 1.6 million trader positions were closed due to extreme volatility.
Beyond macro and political uncertainty, these events happen because most traders don’t understand the metrics and risk signals that drive crypto derivatives.
CanHav’s mission is to change that by helping every trader, investor, and analyst read the data that matters before it’s too late!
CanHav’s Mission
CanHav is incubated at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, founded by Wazarat Hussain, a Master’s in Financial Innovation & Technology graduate with nearly a decade of experience in finance and over five years working on crypto-specific projects.
CanHav’s first research project was launched at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, one of the world’s largest crypto conferences, marking CanHav’s debut as a data-driven research initiative focused on derivatives analytics, risk mitigation and market clarity.
