Variational Is Quietly Climbing the Perps Leaderboard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've covered Hyperliquid and Lighter a good bit this year, which is fitting considering that these platforms are very dominant onchain perpetuals exchanges. Yet take note, as there's a fresher challenger becoming a force to be reckoned with in this field, and it's doing so through an app that's impressively still in private beta. This challenger is Variational. As you can see in my screenshot of DefiLlama's perps tracker above, Variational's facilitated +$1.59B in trading volume on the day, put
Coinbase Enters the Tokenized Stock Wars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Coinbase Tokenized Stocks went live on Base this morning. We've got four big names available out of the gate, namely Nvidia, Meta, Apple, and Google.

Read excerpt
If you sort the top 100 cryptocurrencies by 7-day gains right now, a handful of DeFi heavyweights jump out. Indeed, among the biggest risers on the week were Lighter (LIT +16%), Morpho (MORPHO +15%), Arbitrum (ARB +13%), and Uniswap (UNI +9%). These projects are in different verticals, of course, but they share an obvious tactical throughline regarding their momentum, namely that each of them has factored, in a big way, into Robinhood Chain's explosive launch.
