Arkham launches crypto perpetuals exchange
Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has launched a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, according to a Nov. 6 announcement.
The exchange will reportedly target retail traders and compete with existing platforms such as Binance.
It will integrate Arkham’s research and feature live on-chain audits and proof-of-reserve (PoR), Arkham said in a post on the X platform.
Trading will commence next week but the exchange will not be available to people in the United States, Arkham said.
