On-chain derivatives — perpetuals, options, structured products, prediction markets, and volatility instruments.
Variational, an Arbitrum-based derivatives venue, has closed a $50 million Series A round led by Dragonfly Capital…
The share move from 2.9% to 8.0% looks small in absolute terms, but it was carved almost entirely out of spot — a structural re-routing of retail flow onchain, not a CEX bleed.
A pair of crypto wallets opened coordinated 10x leveraged long positions on $PEPE at the same time, accumulating a…
The headline is a 24-hour $5.78B print and a fresh weekly record — but the real story is that Solana's perps stack is now absorbing flow at a scale that puts it in the same conversation as…
Ostium's institutional-grade data link comes as equity perps have already carved out 20% of the $75B RWA perps market — and signals Nasdaq is building a deliberate onchain strategy, not a one-off bet.
Jeff Yan's disclosure lands as ICE and CME have been lobbying to restrict the protocol, making compliant U.S. access the deciding variable for Hyperliquid's next leg of growth.
