Arkham Intelligence Set to Launch New Crypto Derivatives Exchange

Arkham Intelligence, a crypto analytics platform, is reportedly preparing to launch its own derivatives exchange next month, aiming to compete with industry leader Binance.

According to Bloomberg, a source familiar with the situation revealed that Arkham is working on an options exchange, backed by high-profile investors, including OpenAI CEO and Worldcoin founder Sam Altman.

The new platform, which will not cater to U.S. customers, is set to operate under a Dominican Republic free-trade zone license, which is still being finalized.

Despite Binance’s dominance in the crypto derivatives space, the source pointed out that its market share has recently hit a four-year low.

The platform, launched in 2020, currently boasts around 880,000 active users per month, which it hopes to leverage to attract customers for the new derivatives exchange.
