Architect has partnered with @MarketVector to bring an entirely new product to exchange-listed futures markets: interest rate perpetual futures tracking on-the-run US treasuries. We’re launching 2, 5, 7, 10, 20, and 30 year US treasury perps with no fees and up to 100x leverage. Interest rate derivatives are the largest segment of global derivatives markets, trading a combined $10 trillion notional daily across exchange-traded interest rate futures and OTC interest rate swaps. Legacy interest rate futures have complex delivery baskets, require cheapest-to-deliver calculations to price correctly, and carry basis risk tied to futures expiry. Perpetuals are a clear solution. Market Vector Indexes has $150B+ in AUM linked to its benchmarks across 25+ ETP issuers globally. We’re proud to partner with them and leverage their rigorous indexing methodology in our new interest-rate perpetual futures. AX is available to institutional customers. If you would like to learn more about our market maker programs and taker incentives, please reach out.

Crypto strategy vaults have demonstrated an important emerging financial industry model: tokenize a basis trade, distribute yield on-chain. Perpetual futures are critical to extending that model beyond crypto to traditional asset classes. How and why below.

Turns out, writing about @OrnnExchange last week was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Capital Markets in the Compute world. I took a step back and looked into the ingredients needed for Capital Markets to form around a commodity.

Today we’re launching BRLUSD-PERP on AX, perpetual futures on the Brazilian Real to USD conversion rate. Institutions can email sales@architect.co for an invite code to sign up and trade.
