AI compute is creating new opportunities for derivatives markets.
@HyperliquidPC is urging the CFTC to bring compute perpetuals to the U.S., supporting @DouroLabs' proposed standards for reference indices, including multi-contributor price feeds like Pyth.

The CFTC is considering what it takes to bring energy perpetuals and 24/7 trading to U.S. markets.
Two filings tackle that question from different angles: @HyperliquidPC & @tradexyz make the case for these markets, while @DouroLabs’ most recent comment addresses the reference pricing needed to support them.
Douro Labs retweeted
Tokenized securities need reference prices that reflect how they actually trade.
@DouroLabs & @HyperliquidPC submitted a joint letter supporting the SEC’s proposed Rule 611 rescission and outlining the role Pyth can play.

Market structure should evolve with the markets it governs.
Douro Labs & @HyperliquidPC submitted a joint letter supporting the SEC’s proposed Rule 611 rescission and best execution guidance for tokenized securities, 24/7 markets & reference prices like those on @PythNetwork.
Tokenized securities introduce new considerations for best execution, from 24/7 trading & onchain reference prices to gas costs, MEV, & atomic settlement.
Douro Labs & @Securitize submitted recommendations to FINRA on Rule 5310 guidance for how these markets actually trade.
This week, Securitize and @DouroLabs jointly submitted a comment letter to FINRA in response to Regulatory Notice 26-15, which requests comment on modernizing FINRA's best execution guidance under Rule 5310.
This is the first time FINRA has formally invited the market to weigh in on how best execution obligations should apply to tokenized securities executing onchain.
Our letter takes on a set of genuinely novel issues:
- How best execution should be determined when transactions are settled instantly and atomically, and executed at speeds not measured in microseconds
- How transaction costs like gas and prefunding fit into the existing cost framework
- How MEV should be treated as a best-execution factor
Our joint submission recommends that FINRA update its Rule 5310 guidance to address order-specific pricing, reliable onchain reference prices, total transaction costs, 24/7 trading, cross-market routing, execution-quality reviews, and investor-directed slippage protections.
The goal is to preserve the investor protections at the heart of Regulation NMS and best execution while adapting them to how tokenized securities are actually traded and settled.
We see this as an important starting point, not necessarily a final answer. These are challenging, largely unaddressed questions, and we encourage others to add their perspective to FINRA's docket before the comment period closes September 25, 2026.

As the CFTC reviews the future of prediction markets, @DouroLabs has submitted a comment letter on how these markets should be structured.
The submission makes a clear case that event contracts fit within the existing swaps framework, and that resolution data is the critical point of integrity and risk.
In prediction markets, everything comes down to how outcomes are resolved.
Pyth provides a transparent, first-party data layer sourced directly from the firms setting prices, with built-in auditability and real-time confidence. Trusted by the two largest prediction markets: @Polymarket and @Kalshi
Purpose-built infrastructure for reliable, scalable prediction markets.
Douro Labs is joining @TheHUB as a validator.
High-performance, low-latency infrastructure is what onchain markets need to compete with TradFi.
This is how deeper liquidity, tighter spreads, and a new wave of institutional participation is unlocked.

ICYMI: The conversation around modernizing Regulation NMS Rule 603 continues to gain attention.
Traders Magazine features @DouroLabs’ proposal to replace the current Vendor Display Rule with a Fair Quote Presentation framework that enables competitive and verifiable pricing systems like Pyth.
Douro Labs retweeted
As the SEC reviews Regulation NMS Rule 603, @DouroLabs has submitted a comment letter outlining why the Vendor Display Rule should be modified to reflect modern, innovative markets.
The proposal introduces a Fair Quote Presentation Rule that preserves investor protection while allowing modern, verifiable pricing systems like Pyth to support tokenized and real-time trading environments.
Pyth delivers real-time pricing sourced directly from the firms actively setting prices.
Douro Labs retweeted
For 20 years, U.S. equity markets have evolved faster than the rules designed to govern them.
@DouroLabs has submitted a white paper to the SEC outlining why Regulation NMS no longer reflects how modern markets operate, and why Pyth represents a modern path forward for price discovery in a tokenized, globally distributed market.
Pyth delivers real-time pricing sourced directly from the firms actively setting prices, creating a consolidated, low-latency view of the market.

The era of copy-paste chains is over ⛓️
@DouroLabs BD Lead @Genia_XBT breaks down what actually drives long-term ecosystem success.
A strong product still matters — but the bar’s way higher now. 📈
@pythnetwork says the days of “Rollup X” copy-pasting an L2 playbook are over.
Too many chains. Too little differentiation.
If you’re not adding real, net-new value…
you won’t stand out ❌
