“We've seen large demand from customers to get exposure to a broad base of DeFi (decentralized finance) products,” CEO Sam Bankman-Fried told CoinDesk in a private message.
The futures index allows traders to use a traditional cryptocurrency exchange to access markets native to the new decentralized trading platform, while paying lower fees and using leverage.
The index provides traders on FTX, the leading cryptocurrency exchange by order book liquidity, with “exposure to 100 markets without paying gas fees 100 times,” Bankman-Fried told CoinDesk, referencing skyrocketing network fees on the Ethereum blockchain.
Surging demand to trade on Uniswap pushed the trading platform's volume in August above its July record high in less than two weeks.
