US regulators threw the doors open for US perpetual futures in May, but trading volume got off to a slow start. Now, it seems to have found its footing.
Stork Research’s latest report looks at activity on US perpetual futures—by underlying, by venue, and by category, including RWAs.

We’re excited to announce that Spout has raised a $2m strategic round from @DraperDragon, @Anchorage, @FlowTraders, @Taisu_Ventures, @VesselVC, @solayer_labs, @2SquareCapital and @Bering_Waters, with strategic backing from @solanalabs
Borrowing against your own stock doesn’t have to cost interest.
Post tokenized US equities as collateral. Borrow USDC at a flat 50% LTV. Pay 0% interest for as long as you hold the loan.
The lender is paid out of covered call premium written weekly against that collateral, not out of a rate the borrower pays. That is the whole trick.
Stork partner @reya_xyz proved real volume and revenue in v1. Now the perp DEX has launched v2, a fully onchain orderbook designed to bring institutional and high-frequency trading flow onchain, initially settling on Reya Network ahead of a planned move to a zk-verifiable exchange on Ethereum.
How Reya v2 works:
1. Replaces a proof-of-concept AMM ($135B volume) with a central limit orderbook, matching bids and asks directly instead of pricing against a pool.
2. Built to bring Institutional and HFT order flow onchain.
3. A finite Season 2 incentive pool rewards early participants.
On the v2 roadmap: sub-millisecond order acknowledgement, 200k TPS, zk-verifiable orders and executions using EigenDA for data availability, and a based-rollup architecture that removes single-sequencer risk.
Stork will be there every step of the way.
v2 is now live in Private Beta!
We say goodbye to the AMM (v1) that delivered $135bn in volume and served 10,000 traders. And say hello to the orderbook; the first stage of the v2 roadmap, built to deliver a high-throughput, low-latency, zk-verifiable exchange.
Private Beta only for now, as institutional market makers ramp up and as we expand the list of tradable markets.
Join the waitlist to be among the first to trade in Season 2.
Being early is your edge.
RWA perps volume dipped in September, replacing levered AI frenzy with a rotation back to gold, oil, and macro.
The major exception was @Aster_DEX, with a surge in RWA perps quoted in the $USD1 stablecoin issued by Trump-founded @worldlibertyfi. 🧵 👇
Welcome to Stork Research’s monthly report on RWA perps volume. All this plus a look at new pre-pre-IPO perps on Polymarket, the company.

US financial institutions and crypto-native operators alike see an opportunity in onshoring RWA perpetual futures.
There's a wrinkle to this dream, however, and it's called downstream entitlements.
The latest article from Stork Research covers the convergence of differing approaches to market data, and the potential solutions.

The integration is announced. Today, the teams behind it explain how it works.
We're going live with @dreamDEXSomnia and @StorkOracle to talk through how the price feeds work, why latency matters for Perpetuals, and what this opens up for DeFi on Somnia.
