Ostium Adds Perpetual Futures Linked to Real-Time Nasdaq Data

Ostium, an on-chain derivatives trading protocol, is adding perpetual futures trading for U.S. stocks using real-time Nasdaq market data.

Ostium Labs said on May 22 that it had completed an integration with Nasdaq Basic, Nasdaq’s real-time stock market data service. The integration allows crypto traders around the world to trade real-time perpetual futures on the Ostium platform based on live U.S. stock prices. Major U.S. technology names including Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft, Google, Meta and Apple are among the main trading targets.

Since its official launch in October 2024, Ostium has surpassed $54 billion in cumulative trading volume. It has attracted more than 26,500 traders globally and generated about $38 million in protocol revenue. In addition to stocks, the platform supports trading in commodities, indexes, exchange-traded funds, cryptocurrencies and foreign exchange.

"All liquid markets on Earth will ultimately move on-chain. That has been our founding belief," Ostium co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Kaledora Kiernan-Linn said. The integration of Nasdaq data marks the most important milestone in building a gateway to global capital markets, Kiernan-Linn added.
