Big news: @dYdX is entering the US market 🇺🇸
The decentralized exchange giant is launching Spot trading on @solana for American traders by the end of 2025.
The details ↓
Why is US availability such a big deal?
The US is the most important market in crypto. Period.
dYdX has been a powerhouse globally, but being locked out of the US market meant missing the biggest pool of capital and traders.
That changes now.
What is dYdX?
Unlike Coinbase or Kraken (centralized exchanges), dYdX is a DEX, meaning:
• No middleman
• Direct peer-to-peer trading on blockchain
• You control your assets
It's best known for perpetual contracts (derivatives without expiration dates)
What's launching in the US?
✅ Spot trading on Solana + linked cryptos
❌ Perpetual contracts (not yet)
Perps remain unavailable due to regulatory uncertainty, BUT there's hope, SEC & CFTC recently signaled they may allow crypto perps on regulated platforms
The timing couldn't be better
This comes as:
• Trump administration embraces crypto
• Regulators dismiss lawsuits against crypto platforms
• SEC/CFTC work on specialized digital asset rules
The pricing play is aggressive
Trading fees cut by up to 50%:
New fees: 50-65 basis points
This is a direct shot at centralized exchanges. dYdX is coming for market share, and they're pricing to win.
The game is changing.
