In his latest column for @CoinDesk, Senior Crypto Market Strategist @martin_gaspar1 argues the market may be repeating a familiar cycle – similar to the climate backlash against Bitcoin mining in 2021.

.@CMEGroup's expansion into ADA, LINK, and XLM futures underscores where institutional crypto markets are headed: deeper, regulated access across a broader asset set. FalconX executed the first block trades in LINK and XLM futures on CME in partnership with @MarexGlobal, supporting clients as liquidity builds across listed venues. As regulated futures markets broaden across altcoins, institutional participation continues to deepen. Being first matters. But what matters more is helping unlock regulated, institutional-grade markets across the broader crypto asset class. Our team is focused on building infrastructure - trade by trade, venue by venue. tradingview.com/news/newsbtc:e…

This weekend was a reminder of why 24/7 markets matter. As geopolitical tensions escalated in the Middle East, traditional exchanges were closed. Investors who needed to hedge macro risk in real time had only one place to go: on-chain markets. While TradFi was offline: ✓ On-chain gold and silver perpetuals saw hundreds of millions in volume within 24 hours. ✓ Oil perps moved ~5% as markets priced in geopolitical risk instantly. ✓ Open interest in tokenized commodity markets (HIP-3) hit record highs, crossing $1B. ✓ Move limits were triggered in energy markets – a sign these venues are adopting mature risk controls. At @FalconXGlobal, we’re bringing prime brokerage standards to on-chain markets, enabling margin financing on HyperliquidX with up to 5x leverage and unified portfolio risk. We are witnessing real progress in diversifying activity away from strictly crypto instruments as on-chain markets adopt traditional safeguards, demonstrating a level of maturity that was largely missing during previous market shocks.

What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas – especially when it’s about the future of capital markets! FalconX is on the ground at @Strategy World 2026 this week as leaders across finance and digital assets gathered to discuss market structure, innovation, and where institutional capital is heading next. @austinreid21, our Global Head of Revenue & Business, joined @Duncanmoir (@21shares) for a session on new market structures using STRC & Bitcoin-linked products – unpacking how emerging capital instruments are packaging and scaling BTC-backed exposure, and what that means for institutional access going forward. Big thanks to the Strategy World team for convening such a high-signal forum.
