dYdX Charts US Expansion, Aims for 2025 Entry with Strategic Spot Trading Offering

Reading Time: < 1 minute

In a key strategic move, the decentralized exchange dYdX is targeting a US market entry before the close of 2025. Company President Eddie Zhang emphasized the critical importance of a US presence for fulfilling dYdX’s future roadmap.

The initial US offering will be a spot crypto trading service, priced aggressively with fees of 50-65 basis points to attract users. However, the exchange will have to navigate a significant regulatory constraint: its flagship perpetual futures product cannot be offered at launch.

Zhang indicated this is a temporary limitation, citing recent statements from the SEC and CFTC that they are considering allowing such innovative contracts.

This potential regulatory shift aligns with the Trump administration’s pro-crypto agenda, aimed at positioning the US at the forefront of the digital asset industry.
