Carbon Unveils On-Chain Derivatives Venue with 950+ Markets

Carbon, an on-chain prime broker for global markets, has launched its TradFi-Native On-Chain Derivatives Venue. This platform offers traders access to over 950 markets in one account, including 250+ traditional financial (TradFi) markets and 530+ crypto perpetuals.

The new venue combines the benefits of on-chain trading with the stability and security of regulated TradFi venues. Each position is hedged 1:1 at a regulated broker off-chain, allowing traders to maintain self-custody while still accessing deep liquidity.

Carbon's solver architecture connects on-chain traders to institutional liquidity through bilateral 1:1 hedging, delivering Wall Street-grade depth and stable carry with on-chain settlement. This launch marks a significant milestone in the development of decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling traders to access traditional financial markets directly on-chain for the first time.

The platform is live since 2023 and has processed over $20 billion in cumulative trading volume across 36,000+ unique traders. Carbon operates on Arbitrum, a popular layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum.
