Alongside our most recent announcement for SOL and SUSHI Perpetuals, we saw user activity on our Layer 2 product surge. As we close in on $500m in overall trading volume and over 10,000 trades on Layer 2, we are excited to launch two additional Perpetuals, which are available now to eligible traders outside of the United States.
Over the upcoming months, we plan to add 1-2 additional markets every week from sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), emerging Layer 1 blockchains, and so on. To learn about our plans and for the most recent updates regarding dYdX, join us on Discord and Twitter.
