Ostium introduces its v2 - the only place onchain to long or short the S&P, Nasdaq, gold, oil, & JPY at up to 200x leverage

Ostium has launched Ostium V2, an upgraded version of its onchain perpetuals exchange focused on real‑world assets (RWAs) such as equity indices, commodities, and forex. The protocol, deployed on Arbitrum, allows users to long or short markets like the S&P 500, Nasdaq, gold, oil, and JPY pairs directly from self‑custodial wallets, using synthetic perpetual contracts settled in stablecoins. V2 introduces leverage of up to 200x on supported markets, alongside lower listing and trading costs and a revamped engine designed for better performance and tighter, more dynamic spreads, especially on lower‑liquidity assets. The V2 rollout is part of Ostium’s broader push to position itself as a specialized RWA perps DEX, extending beyond crypto to stocks, global and U.S. indices, commodities, and additional FX pairs. To drive usage and liquidity around the upgraded platform, Ostium has also paired V2 with a points program that tracks trading, referrals, and liquidity provision, distributing at least 500,000 points weekly after an initial 10 million‑point retroactive allocation to early users. This combination of high‑leverage RWA exposure, onchain execution, and incentive programs aims to differentiate Ostium from other perpetuals DEXs that focus mainly on crypto markets, and to attract traders seeking centralized‑exchange‑style macro exposure without giving up self‑custody.
