Avantis Finance Launches Multi-Asset Perpetuals Exchange on Base
馃攢 Markets merge onchain
Avantis Finance has launched a perpetuals exchange that unifies traditional and crypto markets on a single blockchain infrastructure.
Key Features:
- Trade gold, oil, forex, and cryptocurrencies with leverage
- All assets available onchain through Base network
- Eliminates separation between traditional finance and crypto trading
What This Means: Traders can now access leveraged positions across multiple asset classes without switching platforms or dealing with separate custody solutions. The platform brings traditional market instruments like commodities and foreign exchange into the decentralized finance ecosystem.
The exchange represents a shift toward unified trading infrastructure where asset class boundaries become less relevant for traders seeking exposure across markets.
What if traditional markets and crypto traded on the same rails? @avantisfi is a perpetuals exchange for everything. Gold. Oil. Forex. Crypto. All leveraged, all onchain, all on Base.
