Carbon Brings Institutional Depth to On-Chain Trading with 950+ Market Launch

Crypto prime broker Carbon has launched an on-chain derivatives venue that combines traditional financial (TradFi) markets with cryptocurrency perpetuals and real-world assets. The platform now offers over 950 tradeable instruments in one account, including 250+ TradFi markets spanning equities, indices, forex, and commodities, as well as 530+ crypto perpetuals and 150 24/7 real-world assets.

The launch also introduces Carbon's own on-chain instrument, TradFi, which allows traders to open positions directly on the platform without leaving self-custody. This removes the 'cold-start problem' that has hindered the adoption of real-world assets on-chain, as each market opens with full institutional depth inherited from regulated brokers.

The Carbon Liquidity Provider (CLP) vault is also now open to public deposits, offering a delta-neutral yield product that funds hedges behind trader flow rather than taking directional positions. The CLP's APY ranges from 20.3% at launch utilization to 57.1% at maturity.

Celebrating the launch, Carbon co-founder and CEO Levy said, 'Traders have had to choose between the assets they want and the execution they need. Carbon ends that trade-off.' The platform has processed over $20B in cumulative trading volume across 36K+ unique traders since its inception.
