Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has announced the upcoming launch of Arkham Exchange, a trading platform designed to cater to retail crypto traders. Aimed at competing with major exchanges like Binance, the new Arkham Exchange will support both spot and perpetual trading pairs while emphasizing transparency. The platform will debut with live on-chain audits and real-time proof-of-reserves to assure users of its commitment to security and accountability.
In response to the increasing demand for transparent trading platforms, Arkham Exchange is setting new standards for accountability in crypto. The platform’s live on-chain audits will allow users to verify the platform’s holdings in real-time, providing unparalleled access to exchange reserves at any given moment—a feature likely to appeal to retail investors looking for reliability in a volatile market.,
Adding to its unique offerings, Arkham Exchange will implement a points-based rewards system. Users can accumulate Arkham points based on trading volume, with VIP accounts enjoying an additional 10% points boost. After the initial 30-day trading period, users will be able to redeem these points for ARKM tokens, enhancing the platform’s appeal to frequent traders. VIP members will also have access to additional benefits, including referral and nomination opportunities through Arkham’s Intel Platform.
Regional Exclusions and Market Timing
Arkham Exchange will not be accessible to traders in certain regions, including the United States—a restriction possibly linked to local regulatory considerations.
The timing of the launch could not be more opportune; in September alone, crypto derivatives trading volumes surpassed $3 trillion, demonstrating strong market demand. Arkham Intelligence’s entry, backed by $12 million in funding from investors like OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, positions Arkham Exchange to capitalize on this interest, potentially emerging as a preferred platform for retail traders globally.
With a reputation for blockchain analytics, Arkham Intelligence is stepping confidently into the exchange arena, aiming to disrupt the market with its transparency-focused approach and competitive features.
