A leading platform's aggressive expansion: integrating stocks, prediction markets, and DEX trading to create an all-in-one asset platform

【Chain Wen】The cryptocurrency trading sector is once again making a big move. A leading compliant platform is undergoing its most aggressive product expansion in its 13-year history, no longer focusing solely on crypto asset trading but aiming to build a true “all-in-one exchange”—integrating stocks, prediction markets, DeFi trading, derivatives, stablecoins, and payment infrastructure into a single platform.

Ambitions for Multi-Asset Integration

Starting with stock trading. The platform has launched stock trading features for US users, with plans to gradually add thousands of other stocks. More interestingly, they are preparing for perpetual futures linked to stocks, enabling users outside the US to trade US stocks continuously and efficiently. Although tokenized stocks are not yet live, there are plans to expand access to stock perpetual futures early next year, and they are also preparing an institutional platform, with more details expected to be announced in 2026.

Fusion of Prediction Markets and DEX

In collaboration with prediction market platforms, they have launched event-based contract trading, with plans to add more partnerships in the future. Regarding DEX, the platform has directly integrated Jupiter, the largest DEX aggregator in the Solana ecosystem, into its interface. This means millions of assets on Solana and its native Base network are now accessible by default. Future plans include expanding DEX integrations to more networks.

New Approaches to Stablecoins and Payments

A new highlight is custom stablecoins—allowing companies to issue branded stablecoins supported by flexible collateral (including USDC and other dollar-pegged stablecoins) with a 1:1 flexible structure. They have also applied for a national trust company license from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is currently under review. In payments, the platform has expanded its developer API covering custody, payments, trading, and stablecoins, and emphasizes promoting the development of the open payment standard x402, working with partners like Cloudflare to develop related infrastructure.

Derivatives and AI Assistant

Derivatives are also being simplified and expanded—introducing a more intuitive trading experience for futures and perpetual futures within the main app, lowering the barriers to entry. Additionally, an AI financial assistant has been launched, allowing users to ask questions, build investment portfolios, and receive personalized recommendations. Early users are gradually gaining access to the beta version.

Enterprise and Ecosystem Layout

The platform’s all-in-one on-chain application has been launched in over 140 countries. In enterprise services, it has fully rolled out enterprise-level products in the US and Singapore, providing traditional companies with crypto-native banking and payment alternatives—startups and small businesses can send and receive funds globally, manage crypto assets, earn balance rewards, and automate financial processes. Future plans include enabling enterprise users to access all expanded trading features on the retail platform.

This round of moves reflects the clear strategy of leading platforms: no longer limited to crypto trading, but aiming to become the unified gateway for both traditional assets and Web3 assets, covering both retail and enterprise sectors.
