If you’re looking to offer derivatives to your clients, Rails gives you the complete stack. Perpetuals, options, regulation, execution and liquidity, all through a single integration.

Seeing all this @PhoenixTrade and @HyperliquidX drama makes me more bullish on @rails_xyz.
While the purple friends push another no-KYC, non-compliant platform (which I’m sure its awesome and can’t wait to try) the real excitement is happening around hybrid structures with full onchain custody that can compliantly power centralized mainstream fintech and TradFi venues. Best of both worlds.
TradFi and fintech powered by DeFi. Coming sooner than most think.
TradFi wants crypto. They just don’t want the regulatory risks.
Institutions want to offer crypto derivatives without building the infrastructure or taking on the compliance burden.
DEXs aren’t an option.
That’s where Rails comes in.

We sat down with @StellarOrg to break down the thinking behind Rails’ institutional-grade vault infrastructure. From liquidity ownership to fund separation and more.

We recently announced Rails’ Institutional-grade Vaults, built on @StellarOrg
These vaults support Rails’ role as an infrastructure provider of crypto derivatives to institutions, unlocking deep liquidity required to scale with institutional demand.

I've been in crypto since late 2014. I've seen the boom and bust cycles, the speculation, the hype-driven narratives. That era is dead. In a grown-up world, crypto is a financial tech stack, not just tokenized culture driven primarily by speculation.
At @rails_xyz, we built regulation-first because we believed this convergence was inevitable. We're CIMA registered with NFA pending. Institutions don't integrate with unregulated venues. They can't. So we built the stack they need. That thesis is proving out. We've had significant institutional interest with many active conversations underway.
Where we are today since launching Rails last June and Play V2 in December:
* Close to $4B in total volume
* Revenue generating across both Rails and Rails Play with over 35,000 signups combined and growing
We're still early. Regulation creates onboarding friction by design. The progress despite that tells us we chose the right path.
What's coming this year:
* Options markets
* Institutional Vaults powered by @StellarOrg
With vaults, Rails owns the liquidity stack. More liquidity on the platform means tighter spreads across both our perps and options markets. Better experience for traders. Sustainable infrastructure for us as a middleware liquidity provider to our institutional partners.
Today our token goes live on @krakenfx. It will power @Railsplay_xyz directly over the coming weeks as the primary way to purchase evaluations. Like the rest of our stack, the token is a product in our ecosystem and we'll treat it like one.
We have no concerns over the short term. Our primary focus is building a great long-term company and growing revenue. Let the rest take care of itself.
We chose the hard path on purpose. Regulation first. Infrastructure first. Revenue first. We think it performs well in the long run.
Excited for what's ahead.

"A retest of $100,000 through $106,000 is not out of question, as it is common in bearish setups.” said @sat_bam_ , CEO of hybrid exchange Rails. “For BTC to be bullish it would need to reclaim and hold onto $106,000 on the weekly basis to have another stab at all time highs.”

Couldn't agree more. Regulatory controls today are often outdated, ineffective, too vague or too burdensome for companies without massive resources to implement. This stifles innovation for the good guys, while the bad guys outpace us.
At @rails_xyz, we're building a strong foundation of compliance and security from day one. Doing it right early sets us up for long-term success.
🎥 Satraj Bambra (Managing Partner & CIO of Round13 and @rails_xyz Co-Founder) on the $19B meltdown:
The cascade was "a mechanical failure"—not fraud, created by the potent mix of mispriced oracles and excess leverage.
“Not fraud — a mechanical failure.”
Our Co-Founder @sat_bam_ explains the root cause behind the $19B meltdown with @CoinDesk.
A mix of mispriced oracles, excess leverage, and poor risk propagation.
