Tonight we’re hosting with @RWA_xyz
They have the best data on real world assets
We’re building the venue where you trade them
Come talk RWAs, trading, or all things markets
World Markets need world-class data.
The best data in tokenized assets comes from the deepest institutional relationships. @RWA_xyz has both. Glad to be building with them.
Better data, Better markets
Tonight at CryptoMondays Wall Street, we’re hosting Office Hours with Talos.
Talos is the gateway between institutional capital and crypto markets. World Markets is the RWA DEX on the other side of it, the only venue with unified margin for RWAs.
Lucas (CEO, World) and Kelly Ye (Head of Research, Talos) on where RWAs go from here.

we built options on top of our spot + lending markets. i.e. same liquidity thats used for spot and lending supports all options trading
it’s an ROI play
World Markets pairs decades of TradFi experience with DeFi-native design to build what traditional markets structurally cannot.
Lucas's new paper is one example: options constructed using spot and lending markets.
Composable Options
Everyone is bullish on tokenization. Why?
In this article we explore why tokenization matters and who reaps the benefits
This Sept we emerged from stealth.
Our goal: To merge institutional capital markets knowledge with a native understanding of crypto.
We were privileged to discuss this convergence at the Luxembourg Embassy alongside, @Coinbase, @CoinBridge_US, and @MarketRebels.

My latest World Markets trade: nitter.gq/0xbeiu/status/20559048…
There's another opportunity on @worldmarketsinc right now
With $ETH funding at -55% you could just:
1) Borrow ETH
2) Sell ETH spot
3) Long ETH perps
Delta Neutral while earning the funding
Despite the recent fud for WM - I enjoy using this app
There are multiple loops that can earn you $ uf you pay attention
I agree the UI and liquidity is not great - also some bugs here and there
But the app is still in Beta and I genuinely believe they can make it work
Also some recent news on MegaETH telling there was some wrong for WM points distributed - users affected will get the points next week

The current $ETH funding rates on @worldmarketsinc are an absolute gold mine, currently at 77% !!!!
Thanks to their unique ATLAS risk engine, I am able to open a 3000$ delta neutral position with only about 80$ of collateral.
I just borrow $ETH to sell it on spot and long on perps.
At current rates, I'm earning almost 10% of my collateral DAILY !!
My thesis is volume/variety+high count transactions are more valued than automated, mono-action farming and LP for Terminal points.
As soon as @Euphoria_fi incentives go live, I believe it will be a massive activity/volume generator, so watching out for that one!!
Right now I'm boosting:
> @AveForge : I will be taking part in their new tournament Galactic Rush and am already climbing the leaderboard.
> @OffshoreOnMega : I am hooked on the ponzi and am very active on there, now collecting $USDm from the Swiss Vault every 8 hours on top of the $DIRTY rewards.
> @PrismFi_ : I'm doing all my swaps on there, have my $MEGA LP'd and remember : if you trade on @Polymarket, doing it on Prism will generate Terminal activity too 👀
Also, the highest NFT points boost on MegaETH is still @badbunnz_ who saw +500 pledges since last week.

Binance makes more money than Goldman Sachs.
Binance is an 8 year old exchange.
Goldman is a 156 year old bank/broker with an amazing RFQ system, it’s so good! But it is not an exchange.
Brokers and dealers are inherently transitory businesses. NYSE existed ~300 years before Schwab and it will continue to exist after Schwab. Liquidity - where the matching happens - not only wins, but monetizes everything which happens downstream. Liquidity wins because it compounds.
The only reason the traditional exchanges are not 10x larger and more profitable is because of regulation, conflicts of interest, and platform risk, all of which are uniquely solved in DeFi....
CLOBs are not going to take us to the RWA promised land.
Today Hyperliquid owns the liquidity for a handful of RWA macro names. But outside the top 10 traded assets (which are ~90% of volume) liquidity falls off a cliff. When there's enough retail demand, order books can work. But "perps on everything" is a different problem, and TradFi solved it decades ago.
The answer isn't every venue rebuilding its own order book. That's not what Robinhood does, it's not what Schwab does, and it's not what DeFi should be doing either.
Building your own book for every asset means bootstrapping demand ticker by ticker, renting liquidity with subsidies, and ending up with thin markets that blow out 200x the moment news hits. It's like sucking the ocean of TradFi liquidity through a straw.
Variational skips all of it via the RFQ model. RFQ is how institutions like Dragonfly actually trade. In RFQ, dealers quote just-in-time and hedge on the primary venue as orders come in. This lets Variational mainline TradFi liquidity directly and mirror it on-chain. Margin in smart contracts, settlement in stablecoins, liquidity aggregated from the people who already trade on the biggest underlying markets, like the CME and NYSE.
It makes it permissionless to access the same depth and spreads the big boys get. With the cold start problem gone, new markets can ship at the speed of software.
By next year I expect RWA perps to be the biggest contract class on-chain, bigger than BTC and ETH perps combined. That's how crypto truly becomes the market for everything.
I believe the platform that wins that won't look like a traditional exchange.
Proud to lead Variational's $50M Series A.
Watch this space.

World Markets co-founder says they just shipped the first onchain exchange that conforms to Vitalik's actual DeFi definition point by point.
Spot, perps, lending. No back-end. UI shipped an hour ago.

Ton of appreciation for what Lucas built with @worldmarketsinc.
Entire exchange, with spot, lending, perps, and entire desk....without a backend. No indexers.
Pretty insane, really. Your browser directly to the RPC.
"Better Than CEX" | @worldmarketsinc
Fully onchain orderbook on MegaETH. Spot, perps & lending. No backend. No indexers. Browser talks directly to RPC.
