A new era of options infrastructure is coming to Injective. Just one day after launching the Super Intelligence Compute Index ($SICI), Injective is officially unveiling Injective Options, introducing an entirely new financial primitive for developers, institutions and users. Now LIVE on testnet. The initial launch brings fully backed calls and puts across six distinct markets: → SICI: The first onchain AI compute index → US500: The top 500 US companies → US Tech: The top 100 US technology companies → Gold, Silver and Oil: Global commodities Every option is fully collateralized using native Injective USDC, as USDC becomes a canonical standard across more than 20 blockchains. But these initial markets only represent just a fraction of what’s possible on $INJ starting now Developers can leverage the new options infrastructure to build white label exchanges, launch their own derivatives protocols and introduce entirely new financial products without building the underlying infrastructure from scratch. Institutions can create customized derivatives and hedging products, while users gain access to new markets and the ability to trade or write options directly onchain. As more applications launch, they can generate entirely new revenue streams for builders while bringing additional trading activity, liquidity and fees to Injective and its broader ecosystem. Injective isn’t building just another options exchange. It’s introducing the composable infrastructure for an entire ecosystem of options protocols to thrive and interact with financial primitives across the onchain universe. And this is only the beginning.

Today, Injective introduced a brand-new options infrastructure primitive, allowing developers and institutions to leverage next-gen onchain options in just a few clicks. Here is a live demo showcasing onchain RWA options markets on $INJ in action.

ICMYI: This month, Injective CEO @ericinjective met with officials from the White House, SEC and CFTC in Washington, joined by our General Counsel, Head of Policy and Head of Research. Injective has spent years building the regulatory foundation to bring tokenization and onchain finance into the U.S. financial system. That work is already translating into tangible milestones: → Injective Institutional Services is an SEC-registered transfer agent, providing regulated ownership recordkeeping services for tokenized securities. → INJ futures are listed on CFTC-regulated U.S. markets, connecting Injective to regulated financial infrastructure. → Injective is developing institutional-grade infrastructure to bring tokenized stocks, funds and real-world assets onchain. → Our legal and policy teams continue engaging directly with U.S. lawmakers and regulators to help shape the future of digital asset regulation. While much of the industry is only beginning to navigate the American regulatory landscape, $INJ has been laying the groundwork for years. The next era of finance will be built onchain, and Injective is positioning itself to help lead that transformation in America. Join the journey with us.
