Recently, there are two things that make people take a closer look at @ OstiumLabs. Firstly, it has just received a new round of funding: $20 million in Series A, led by General Catalyst and Jump Crypto, along with a previous strategic investment, bringing the total funding to approximately $27.8 million According to recent reports, the cumulative trading volume of Ostium since its launch has exceeded $25 billion (including commodities, metal assets, etc.), with metal assets alone having a trading volume of $5 billion. More importantly, it claims that the vast majority (>95%) of its open interest contracts are not cryptocurrencies - but traditional assets such as stocks, commodities, commodities, forex, and Real World Assets (RWAs) @OstiumLabs is not just 'creative in the head', it is trying to activate a new channel of 'combining traditional assets with leverage derivatives and on chain clearing' - if successful, this could lead to a true intersection between traditional investors and the crypto world. For ordinary people/small and medium-sized fund holders, it may mean accessing gold, copper, indices, oil prices, etc., without the need to go to centralized securities firms/brokers that you can't even imagine I see Ostium as a 'tentative dimensionality reduction blow to traditional finance in the on chain world' - it attempts to make traditional assets live within the rules of DeFi, but this path is full of both opportunities and pitfalls @OstiumLabs @Bantr_fun @0xMantleCN Ostium Bantr
