Decentralized exchange dYdX is setting its sights on the US market, with plans to launch its services by the end of 2025. President Eddie Zhang stated that this move represents a significant step for the platform, as dYdX seeks to expand its offerings to include spot trading of cryptocurrencies, notably Solana (SOL).
According to a report by Reuters, dYdX views the United States as a critical strategic market. Zhang commented, "It’s very important for us as a platform to have something available in the United States, because I think it represents, hopefully, the direction we’re trying to move in."
dYdX is renowned for its specialization in perpetual futures trading, a type of derivative that allows users to speculate on cryptocurrency prices without actually owning the underlying asset. This type of trading is popular in the crypto world but is also subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny.
Zhang indicated that the evolving regulatory environment in the United States, particularly under the administration of President Donald Trump, is a key driver behind the move towards the US market. He expressed hope that government agencies would provide clear guidance on perpetual contracts, facilitating dYdX and other platforms in offering these services in a legally compliant and structured manner.
Notably, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced in September that they would consider bringing perpetual contracts onshore for US traders.
In addition to its expansion plans, dYdX recently announced an open vote for users impacted by an approximately eight-hour operational pause during a market crash in early October. The governance vote proposes compensating users with a total of $462,000 from the protocol’s insurance fund.
According to data from Nansen, the price of dYdX’s native token (DYDX) has decreased by approximately 50% in the last 30 days, falling from $0.60 to $0.30. Cointelegraph reached out to dYdX for comment but had not received a response at the time of publication.
