New decentralised perpetual exchanges live or launching—what it means for self-custody traders
Extended, a perpetual futures DEX on Starknet, entered early-access mode with deposits live and over 50 markets available at up to 100x leverage. EdgeX, another perpetual and spot DEX built on StarkEx, is positioned as a low-latency alternative focused on self-custodial mobile and web trading. Both platforms emphasise removing intermediaries and letting users control private keys throughout trading. If self-custody and avoiding custodial exchange risks matter to you—or if you're concerned about platform solvency—these tools offer an alternative path, though liquidity and volume may be thinner than centralised venues. Early-stage platforms also carry smart-contract risk, so due diligence on audits and protocol maturity is essential.
Multiple new token listings across major exchanges—increased trading pairs but unchanged core security
Backpack ($BP) listed on Bybit, OrangeX, and Gate.io; Incentiv ($CENT) reached MEXC; and Nesa (NES), Tea Protocol (TEA), Lighter (LIT), and Re Protocol (RE) appeared on KuCoin, OKX, Bitrue, and Upbit. New listings expand where and how you can trade, but they do not alter the security model or custody arrangements of the exchanges themselves. If you are already comfortable with a particular exchange, new listings there simply give you more options. If you are unfamiliar with any platform, check its regulatory status, insurance policies, and withdrawal processes before depositing funds.
Trending tokens show mixed momentum—Illuvium rallied 20% whilst Hunter Biden's Laptop fell 7.9%
Pudgy Penguins, Illuvium (up 20.3%), and Hunter Biden's Laptop saw the most search volume in the past three hours, reflecting retail interest in niche and meme-oriented assets. Larger weekly moves tell a clearer story: Illuvium gained 18.5% over seven days, whilst STONK surged 443.7%. These tokens carry considerably higher volatility than the major cryptocurrencies and are often illiquid on smaller exchanges. If you are considering storing or trading these assets, prioritise exchanges with strong withdrawal systems and avoid leaving large holdings on platforms with thin order books or questionable custodial practices.
Bitcoin and Ethereum remain stable; Solana dipped 0.6%—a quiet day for core holdings
Bitcoin held at $77,220 with just a 0.1% daily gain, whilst Ethereum moved up 0.2% to $2,522 and Solana slipped to $101.46 (−0.6%). The subdued price action reflects low intraday tension across the largest and most liquid markets. For traders and holders of major assets, this environment favours focused attention on custody security, fee structures, and exchange reliability rather than short-term directional bets. A quiet day is a good time to audit your holdings: confirm private-key access, check exchange withdrawal limits, and review any staking or lending terms if relevant to your strategy.
