Paradigm has acquired 14M+ $DIME (~5.5% circulating / ~1.4% total supply) in the past 1.5 weeks via open market purchases and will continue to support Paradex and $DIME, including by periodically acquiring $DIME.
Combined with the DIME Assistance Fund, 16M $DIME (~6.3% of circulating / ~1.6% of total supply) has been bought back since TGE.
All buybacks can now be tracked on https://t.co/yNZShCq1iJ
Paradigm Flows – March 16
BTC flows saw March puts lifted while ETH flows featured the December 2.2k / 3.2k call spread (dealers sold) and a March - April put calendar (dealers bought).
Paradex remains fully committed to building the DeFi supercenter and driving long-term value for the $DIME ecosystem.
This week, we will:
+ Expand $DIME to additional blockchains and exchanges
+ List RWAs for perps with more to follow
+ Roll out expanded MCP and CLI functionality for advanced agentic trading
+ Share further updates on $DIME buybacks and additional value-accretive initiatives
What makes Paradex unique has not changed:
Paradex is the only place to trade perps, spot, and options with zero fees and privacy-preserving infrastructure. Fee sensitivity may vary across users, but agents will ruthlessly optimize for best execution, fees, privacy and capital efficiency. That is why Paradex is focused on building the best infrastructure and tools for agentic trading.
Because market news and narratives materially influence sentiment and flows, Paradex will also soon rebrand @Paradex_ECO to create a more direct link between real-time developments and onchain trading opportunities.
Paradex is building for the long term, for users, for agents, for privacy, and for the continued growth of the $DIME ecosystem.
Paradexio 🔥
Paradigm has supported and will continue to support Paradex and $DIME, including by periodically acquiring $DIME. This reflects a long-term belief in the Paradex ecosystem and confidence in $DIME.
In our commitment to transparency, purchases of $DIME will be shared periodically.
