dYdX Plans to Enter U.S. Market by Year-End as Crypto Rules Ease Under Trump

dYdX, one of the most praised decentralized exchanges, is planning on making an entry into the US market. It is for the first time that dYdX will be entering the American market, and they plan to do so by the end of the year.

According to a Reuters report, dYdX is planning on introducing spot trading for Solana. Along with Solana, dYdX will slowly expand its domain to other cryptocurrencies in the US market.

What is dYdX Exchange?

dYdX is a decentralized exchange platform that was founded in San Francisco. With a total of 1.5 trillion dollars worth of transactions processed since its inception, dYdX has truly withstood the test of time.

dYdX offers specific services in the perpetual contracts instrument. This enables investors to speculate on the price of cryptocurrencies without actually owning them.

Implications of Entry Into The US Market

What does operating on US soil bring to an exchange? Why is the USA such a gold mine for exchanges worldwide? There are certain important answers that make it clear as to why it becomes important for an exchange to have an identity within US regulatory boundaries.

Regulatory reputation and client credibility are one of the major uses of getting a chance to operate within the US market. Additionally, the US market opens up new avenues of user interaction. There is a much higher investor potential in the US market compared to other markets. For an exchange to be unable to enter this market is bad news.

Partnerships or identity registrations with US institutions make it easy for partnership integrations with stronger and larger institutional-grade enterprises and fintech companies. This is one of the major reasons why exchanges queue up at America’s doorstep.

Planning Growth And Expansion Through Lower Fees

The president of dYdX, Eddie Zhang, said that the entry into the US market is largely facilitated by the newer rules imposed by US President Donald Trump, which are really crypto-friendly. Eddie Zhang also expects the platform to grow by expanding into newer territories.

dYdX plans to increase its popularity and attract investors by cutting the fees in half, by 50 to 65 basis points.

Even though dYdX is entering the US market by late 2025, they will not be offering their derivatives product initially. However, the company has high hopes for its perpetual contracts, which it believes will be approved for use by the regulatory authorities.

If a regulatory approval is obtained for the perpetual contracts, dYdX will be able to offer these derivative instruments to the domestic investors of America. A joint statement was released by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission regarding this matter. They said they are planning to consider legalizing the perpetual trading of derivatives on regulated exchanges.

If this statement becomes a reality, dYdX can surely benefit from its intrinsic operational system, which can then be deployed in the US as well. Investors can also benefit from this move as dYdX is considered one of the most trustworthy decentralized perpetual contract providers in the world.

dYdX – A Platform That Evolves With Time

2026 is going to be an active year for dYdX. This year, dYdX has plans for product expansions, governance updates, etc., which are all aimed towards making the user experience more friendly. This will also give the users of dYdX more direct access to more instruments and trading options.

dYdX had acquired Pocket Protector, a social trading platform that used Telegram’s messaging section to trade cryptocurrencies. The acquisition of Pocket Protectors means that dYdX can now tap into the 900 million user base of Telegram as well. This is a massive expansion movement.

dYdX has some of the industry’s state-of-the-art techniques to enhance the appeal of an exchange. Two programs require key mention here. The ‘MegaVault’ program that incentivizes liquidity providers and the ‘Unlimited’ program that provides instant approvals on perpetual contracts of any assets without the need for governance or intermediaries.

If an exchange aims to be a personal favorite of many users, there are many factors it needs to consider. dYdX has integrations with THORWallet, Skip Protocol, etc., to facilitate an enhanced market execution. This is also helpful in boosting deposit speeds, which is vital when it comes to trading and leveraging arbitrage opportunities.

Conclusion

For most exchanges, operations become a hassle when there is too much government interference. For decentralized exchanges, this becomes an even tougher challenge. Under the new government led by President Donald Trump, America is on a new crypto journey, and exchanges like dYdX are trying to capitalize on the opportunity.

This raises the question as to whether more exchanges will follow the path that dYdX has taken. With major events like the XRP ETF onboarding, the wind is shifting in a favorable direction within America for cryptocurrency and its associated products.
