Decentralized Exchange dYdX Plans U.S. Market Entry by Year-End

The decentralized trading platform dYdX, widely used for perpetual contract derivatives, announced on October 30, 2025 that it plans to launch a U.S.-facing operation by the end of the year.
Until now, U.S. users were barred from accessing dYdX’s full suite of products. The firm says it will introduce spot trading for cryptos such as Solana while keeping perpetual contracts (which do not expire) outside U.S. jurisdiction—pending regulatory guidance. With over $1.5 trillion in lifetime trading volume, dYdX’s entrance into the U.S. marks a key inflection point in how decentralized exchanges view the regulated market. The platform also announced plans to reduce trading fees to between 50 and 65 basis points to attract liquidity. In context of evolving U.S. policy favoring more crypto-friendly regulation, the move underlines how DeFi is increasingly engaging with traditional regulatory arenas.
