Carbon Unveils Over 950 On-Chain Markets With Launch of TradFi Derivatives Venue
Carbon, an on-chain prime broker for global markets, has launched its TradFi-native derivatives venue with over 950 markets in one account. The launch includes 250+ TradFi markets spanning equities, indices, forex, and commodities, which are hedged 1:1 at regulated TradFi venues. This makes Carbon the largest TradFi-native on-chain derivatives venue.
The company'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 and self-custody. The launch also opens the Carbon Liquidity Provider (CLP) vault to public deposits, offering a delta-neutral yield product that funds the hedge behind trader flow.
Coinciding with the launch, roughly 30 assets are live as both TradFi markets and real-world markets, allowing traders to hold one against the other and capture the difference between the two financing rates without leaving the account. The global market Carbon connects to is substantial, clearing over $1.5 trillion daily in CFDs across thousands of markets.
According to Levy, Co-founder and CEO of Carbon, 'Traders have had to choose between the assets they want and the execution they need. Carbon ends that trade-off.' The launch also features a quote from David Garcia, Ecosystem Lead at Arbitrum Foundation, who states 'Carbon is operating an architecture that connects on-chain trading with established market infrastructure while preserving self-custody.'
