09-30 02:07	Avantis	Other	The macro backdrop hasn’t changed much, but the reactions across markets have. Yields are pushing back toward multi-decade highs and equities are struggling to get much traction. $XAU is bouncing after getting hit hard, while $BTC has managed to recover toward $84K. That divergence is where this week gets interesting, and the crew is diving in tomorrow at 12:30pm ET 📺 @verantaxyz on X ↗
09-29 13:32	GRVT	Other	UPDATE: 74 of 109 RWA markets traded in week one. Gold led, Korean semis second, US brokerage third. Makers paid on all of them. @grvt_io on X ↗
09-29 08:55	ApeX Omni	Other	Quiet tape. S&P -0.8%, NASDAQ -0.9%, gold and oil barely moved. The 10y keeps grinding: 5.240%, another 13bp since Thursday. bitcoin:native $83,983 +1.3%, $ETH $2,712 +2.6%. $31M into spot ETFs, an eighth straight day. Fear and greed 73. @OfficialApeXdex on X ↗
09-28 20:36	BingX	Other	Core PCE takes center stage Wednesday 👀 A cooler print could lift gold, while a hotter one may boost USD and pressure stocks. Trade $XAU on BingX TradFi 👇 @BingXOfficial on X ↗
09-28 15:58	BingX	Other	Gold fell over $115 today to its lowest level since August. Higher bond yields, a stronger dollar, and high oil prices are pushing the market down 👀 @BingXOfficial on X ↗
09-28 15:17	Ondo Perps	Product	Introducing spot trading for @Ondo Stocks. This brings the basis trade onto a single platform: 1. Buy Ondo Stocks 2. Deploy them as collateral 3. Short the corresponding perp to collect funding Because the spot holding doubles as long exposure and collateral, delta-neutral strategies become more capital efficient. Running both legs on a single platform also eliminates the risks of managing positions across separate platforms. Starting with 12 assets: ✅ Silver (SLVon) ✅ Gold (GLDon) ✅ Micron (MUon) ✅ Tesla (TSLAon) ✅ Circle (CRCLon) ✅ NVIDIA (NVDAon) ✅ SpaceX (SPCXon) ✅ Sandisk (SNDKon) ✅ Alphabet (GOOGLon) ✅ S&P 500 ETF (SPYon) ✅ Invesco QQQ (QQQon) ✅ Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAMon) ✅ & more to come For the first time, Ondo Stocks are available for permissionless trading (outside the US) on a spot central limit order book. Ondo Stocks opened access to tokenized equities, supporting them as collateral made those holdings productive, and now, spot trading on Ondo Perps brings the entire workflow to a single platform. Another step closer to onchain prime brokerage. To celebrate the launch, spot trading is fee-free for the first 30 days. Build a basis trade → @OndoPerps on X ↗
