Seven perp DEX tokens listed in the past year, and only ASTER and EDGE are in the green on FDV — the rest are off 30-55%, a sobering read on a sector that priced in billions.
The Brent and WTI perpetual contracts land on a regulated venue the same week ICE and CME flagged onchain rivals as a systemic risk to benchmark oil markets.
A targeted exploit on the prediction market's optimistic-oracle bridge — not its main AMM — underscores how interconnected DeFi composability keeps turning a single adapter into a system-level risk…
Japan is a top-3 prediction-market TAM and Polymarket is currently blocked there — but the path runs through a Penal Code that criminalizes habitual gambling, and Kalshi is closing the volume gap…
The payments firm is now the on-ramp for regulated institutions into stablecoins, tokenized funds and onchain lending — a build-out underwritten by a high-eight-figure Decent.xyz acquisition and a…
Dragonfly led the Series A with Bain Capital Crypto and Coinbase Ventures joining, as Variational pushes past $200B in lifetime volume and launches perpetual futures on gold, silver, copper and WTI…
