The reactions to the NYSE <> AVAX news say it all. I’m convinced that over the next twelve months, some other “dead” L1s will gain traction, and CT will recoil in disbelief again. They can’t fathom that people are thinking bigger and building for an audience beyond CT. Not everything is about memecoins and perps, fellas.

I am NOT a Chinese spy.

We believe trading is going social. That's why we've built a trading app that combines everything you need to trade onchain, with a social and competitive layer on top. Speed has always been one of our biggest priorities. Instead of relying on third-party relay APIs or plugging into someone else's trading stack, we've built our own trading infrastructure and execution algorithms from the ground up. We've spent the last two years developing and optimizing them to deliver the best possible execution speed, pricing, and trade outcomes. Dirol brings together Spot, Perps, and Arena. And Arena is probably the most interesting part of what we're building. It's a competitive trading platform where you can challenge your friends and other traders in 1v1 or 3v3 matches, earn ELO, and climb the global leaderboard. Think Facet, but for trading. I've spent over 15k hours playing competitive CS, participated in hundreds of tournaments, and experienced firsthand how platforms like Faceit can turn a game into an entire competitive ecosystem. They gave players a place to compete, improve, and eventually make their way into professional esports. Now we're bringing that same competitive environment to crypto trading. With Coinbase, Frontiers, and other teams starting to experiment with trading tournaments, we're seeing a clear signal that traders are becoming the new esports players. We believe there's enormous potential in this space, and we want to build the infrastructure that makes competitive trading accessible to everyone. That's why we're building Dirol: an all-in-one social trading platform where you can trade everything onchain, without KYC needed. We believe this can become much bigger than another trading app. Excited to build what's next for crypto trading.

BREAKING: Upcoming NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform’s core clearing and settlement layer will be built on top of Avalanche technology. Avalanche will support the platform’s clearing firm, supporting the development of infrastructure for 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement. A landmark step toward the next generation of global financial markets.
