Arkham Research Launches a Perp Trading Exchange
Arkham Research, a leading blockchain analytics firm, announced on Wednesday that it has launched an exchange for trading perpetual futures ("perps"). This latest development marks Arkham’s entry into the cryptocurrency trading ecosystem.
Arkham added that the cryptocurrency exchange would provide live onchain auditing, traceable proof-of-reserves and support spot/perp trading pairs. The exchange also comes with a tie-in with the company's data dashboard, used across the crypto industry to track transactions and label wallets.
Arkham added that the exchange will go live next Wednesday, but prospective users must register before onboarding. However, the exchange will not be available in certain jurisdictions, including the United States.
Perpetual swaps are a type of derivative contract without an expiration date. Traders use this product to leverage up or hedge their positions without holding a token physically.
Arkham’s native token, ARKM, has performed well over the last few days. It has been up 4% in the last 24 hours and now trades at $2.10 per coin.
