Victoria, Seychelles, April 26th, 2023 — Bitget, top crypto derivatives and copy trading platform, has announced the addition of Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) as a margin option for Bitget Coin-margined Futures, making it the first centralized exchange to provide such products on the market. This new feature will allow traders to continue earning staking rewards while also utilizing their staked assets for trading purposes.

Bitget Coin-margined Futures is a unique product designed for crypto-enthusiasts, supporting multiple currencies as a margin for various futures trading pairs. With the introduction of LSDs as collateral, traders can now access the liquidity of staked assets without having to unstake them. Currently, Bitget supports stETH as collateral for the first rollout, and plans to expand support for more assets for LSDs collateral in the future.

Using LSDs as a margin offers a range of benefits for cryptocurrency traders. It provides increased flexibility and diversification, helping users manage risk more effectively and potentially offering a more efficient way to use staked assets for trading. This can be particularly advantageous for traders looking to expand their trading strategies beyond holding or staking cryptocurrencies. Furthermore, using LSDs as a margin can help investors increase the liquidity of staked assets. By earning staking rewards while providing liquidity for trading, LSDs can create a more vibrant trading ecosystem and potentially increase the overall value of staked assets.

“With this latest addition, Bitget continues to solidify its position as the leading crypto derivatives trading platform with multiple innovative products. Traders can now take advantage of this new feature by logging into their Bitget account and selecting LSDs as a margin option. By offering LSDs as a margin option, we are giving our users greater flexibility and more diverse trading strategies, which we believe will drive further innovation and growth in the cryptocurrency derivatives market. We are proud to be the first exchange to offer this cutting-edge feature and are excited to continue leading the way in providing our users with the most advanced trading tools and options.“ said Gracy Chen, Managing Director of Bitget.

Bitget is a top crypto derivatives exchange, which launched the first USDT-margined futures and USDC-margined products in the industry. According to Coingecko, Bitget is currently a top 5 futures trading platform  supporting 170+ futures trading pairs.

Stabull Finance Launches Stablecoin and Real World Assets DEX on Ethereum and PolygonProspera, Honduras, December 13th, 2024, Chainwire Stabull Finance, a decentralized platform providing an alternative to SWIFT and CME for on-chain FX and tokenized commodity swaps, has officially launched on Ethereum and Polygon. The platform’s launch follows six months of beta testing, processing over $2 million in stablecoin swaps since October. Now open to the public, Stabull Finance invites stablecoin issuers and liquidity providers to participate in its liquidity pools and join us in bringing the multi-trillion-dollar FX and commodity markets on the chain. Stabull Finance offers a 24/7 decentralized exchange (DEX) providing fast, low-slippage, and low-cost swapping between supported stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The initial launch features tokenized gold (PAXG) on Polygon, along with eleven fiat-backed stablecoins across Ethereum and Polygon. Supported stablecoins include BRZ (Brazilian Real), COPM (Colombian Peso), EURS (Euro), GYEN (Japanese Yen), NZDS (New Zealand Dollar), PHPC (Philippine Peso), TRYB (Turkish Lira), XSGD (Singapore Dollar), with three USD-backed stablecoins; USDC, USDT, and DAI. Additional stablecoins and tokenized RWAs will be regularly added to the platform on an ongoing basis. While non-USD currencies account for over 40% of global Forex trading, less than 1% of on-chain volume involves non-USD stablecoins. With more than 25 million crypto wallets holding stablecoins and major players like Visa, Stripe, BlackRock, and Goldman Sachs entering the space, demand for on-chain FX solutions is set to surge. Stabull is poised to meet this growing demand, enabling instant and transparent swaps for web3 and institutional use cases such as e-commerce, cross-border payments, merchant settlement, point-of-sale, payroll, and B2B invoicing. Generalized automated market makers (AMM’s) such as Uniswap and Curve are not optimized for RWA’s where price discovery largely occurs off-chain. This results in stale pricing, impermanent loss, and poor yields for liquidity providers (LP’s), and has contributed to the slow adoption of FX stablecoins. To solve this problem, Stabull’s AMM dynamically concentrates liquidity around an off-chain, Chainlink oracle (e.g. EUR/USD price), resulting in higher capital efficiency for LP’s, price improvement for traders, and relieved peg pressure for issuers.
