The dYdX Foundation recently hosted the November 2025 Analyst Call, covering market structure, protocol performance, and ecosystem strategy.
@Nethermind joined as a special guest to share research updates.

Onchain derivatives continue to expand.
October recorded $1.3T in onchain derivatives volume - a new high - reflecting the structural shift toward transparent, decentralised execution.
CBOE’s plan to launch perpetual-style BTC and ETH futures further signals the influence of DeFi-native market architecture on traditional derivatives venues.
dYdX’s core metrics remain strong:
🔹 $1.528T lifetime volume
🔹 240 markets listed
🔹 96,200 token holders
🔹 33,800 active stakers
🔹 $49.2M staking rewards
🔹 Monthly volume reached $9.32B.
Governance approved an update to protocol economics: increasing the buyback allocation from 25% → 75% of protocol fees.
This materially strengthens value alignment and enhances long-term supply reduction.
Nethermind highlighted ongoing contributions - including Rust and Python trading clients, the TradingView integration, technical documentation, and tokenomics tooling - reinforcing institutional readiness and developer access.
November trading incentives included:
🔹 Trading Leagues (performance-based rewards)
🔹 Surge Season 8 (50% fee rebates + $1M DYDX prize pool)
🔹 BTC & SOL fee holidays
These programs drove meaningful increases in activity and liquidity.
@MoonPay’s integration introduced seamless fiat on-ramping via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major payment methods - reducing friction for new users and improving capital inflows.
The @CCXT integration expands dYdX’s connectivity to algorithmic and institutional users, enabling easy access through one of the most widely used unified trading APIs.
A revamped prediction markets pilot introduced leveraged trading on a real-world baseball event, demonstrating the adaptability of dYdX’s perpetuals infrastructure and informing future non-crypto market exploration.
