PAX Ostium

Ostium's points are being underestimated. - 1st derivatives platform in web3 connecting with TradFi liquidity for RWAs - best onchain place to open large positions, cheaper than Hyperliquid and Variational - no funding/overnight fees - data client of Nasdaq early.

@fevrdad @VictorTopDefiG @megapot they did the same with lighter, look at where it is now

Ostium is already doing the RWAs tradfi liquidity, they were the first movers there, var saw the opportunity and copied it but usng CT KOLs for mass distro. DragonFly invests in every trash including @megapot and other sht, they just pump and dump. I was more bullish before, but all these CT KOLs shilling variational are making me bearish cause it means the dump on day 0 will be massive. Anyways, im a user. Unlike CT, I actually trade there, but pisses me off seeing CT cabal shilling var like that, it’s a red flag to me. You guys (CT paid KOLs) are the purest trash of this industry.

deja vu all over again!! variational just closed a $50M series A, led by dragonfly, with bain capital crypto and coinbase ventures also in. and here’s the full picture. they raised $10.3M seed back in 2021, then a $1.5M strategic round in june 2025. this $50M brings total raised to ~$61.8M. same energy as when lighter announced their raise, except var still hasn’t dropped a valuation, which is actually the more interesting part. lighter raised $68M at $1.5B valuation. roughly a ~22x multiple on the raise. if variational is anywhere close to that math, we’re looking at a $1B valuation easy. with dragonfly leading and coinbase ventures in the mix, we’re prolly looking at $500M–$1B+ imo. these guys don’t bet on mid projects. people farming rn are still early, this raise just confirmed the thesis. don't forget the rwa play, this is the real one. variational is literally building to bring tradfi liquidity onchain. oil, commodities, real world assets on a perp dex. literally a bridge to the $100T tradfi market. trade on variational or stay sidelined, sign up with my ref for a 15% point boost: omni.variational.io/?ref=OMNIVICTO…

@fevrdad @VictorTopDefiG @megapot @Ostium @kaledora

@fevrdad @VictorTopDefiG @megapot spot on

@crankfaktory @hosseeb lmao

@hosseeb Wow a trade xyz wrapper is so sick i wish i had thought of that

CLOBs are not going to take us to the RWA promised land. Today Hyperliquid owns the liquidity for a handful of RWA macro names. But outside the top 10 traded assets (which are ~90% of volume) liquidity falls off a cliff. When there's enough retail demand, order books can work. But "perps on everything" is a different problem, and TradFi solved it decades ago. The answer isn't every venue rebuilding its own order book. That's not what Robinhood does, it's not what Schwab does, and it's not what DeFi should be doing either. Building your own book for every asset means bootstrapping demand ticker by ticker, renting liquidity with subsidies, and ending up with thin markets that blow out 200x the moment news hits. It's like sucking the ocean of TradFi liquidity through a straw. Variational skips all of it via the RFQ model. RFQ is how institutions like Dragonfly actually trade. In RFQ, dealers quote just-in-time and hedge on the primary venue as orders come in. This lets Variational mainline TradFi liquidity directly and mirror it on-chain. Margin in smart contracts, settlement in stablecoins, liquidity aggregated from the people who already trade on the biggest underlying markets, like the CME and NYSE. It makes it permissionless to access the same depth and spreads the big boys get. With the cold start problem gone, new markets can ship at the speed of software. By next year I expect RWA perps to be the biggest contract class on-chain, bigger than BTC and ETH perps combined. That's how crypto truly becomes the market for everything. I believe the platform that wins that won't look like a traditional exchange. Proud to lead Variational's $50M Series A. Watch this space.

@CallumOnCrypto @variational_io interesting, how many points on ostium?

I spent 4 figures on fees trading on @variational_io during the beta The Airdrop Points I got from this are already valued Mid 5-Figures I am now trading RWAs (mostly Gold and Oil) as they've just been added and will likely earn extra points for now omni.variational.io/?ref=OMNICALLUM

@muarmemuar @variational_io @nadoHQ @krakenpro @tradexyz @extendedapp @pacifica_fi @xStocksFi with Ostium bro, Ostium, Ostium is the RWA venue they are competing with nado, extended, pacifica? really? you're comparing var with trash

RWA season coming to @variational_io? Absolute madness - just look at how many markets there are. This creates so many arbitrage opportunities with @nadoHQ, @krakenpro, @tradexyz, @extendedapp, @pacifica_fi Buy on spot @xStocksFi and short the same markets on Var. You can also organically short overheated stocks on traditional markets, especially in the AI sector. Grandpa Buffett didn't sit in cash all this time for nothing. Gonna be a busy summer.

@kaledora @emilylai @Ostium wen will you list cattle? wanna 10x leverage long cows onchain ultimate asset, free moni making machine :P

@emilylai @Ostium so lucky to have you!!

I've joined Ostium to lead marketing! There is a massive market opportunity ahead using blockchain rails to build better financial platforms for traders and investors globally I first met @kaledora in 2024 at Bangkok Devcon. In 2025, I visited the @ostium office where she looked me dead in the eyes and said she wanted to build a $10B company; I asked where can I send my (small) check. After a few months of learning more about the team and vision, I joined full time in March. Angel investor to employee arc activated What excited me most came down to the people, product, and vision: - The infrastructure was intentionally built to disrupt the opaque broker space and better serve digitally native traders around the world - Over 19m people trade CFDs, companies like IBKR are valued at $150B - market size is bigger than this channel - Passionate, intense co-founders that care a lot. War time mode CEO and CTO doesn't turn off. Yes, @contrarianmarco showed up in a suit in our first call - Getting to work with a cracked team of engineers, product developers, quants, and traders - supported by some of the best on the cap table - Top 20 revenue generating protocol in the whole industry - White glove customer service, a team focused on retention and users - @FlowTraderTM honestly needs to sleep more - Some more major product and partnership announcements in the works In the last two months I've been here, we've started running growth experiments across 8+ channels, brought on two more senior growth marketers, listed sixteen new assets, revamped the liquidity engine, and announced a data partnership with a major exchange. I'm having fun and there's a lot more work to do. Looking forward to this next chapter. If you're a user, trader, or growth marketer - dms are open

@vc_larp @Ostium @Nasdaq why dont you try to become a data client of nasdaq then? All data clients are their partners, low iq boy

@Ostium @Nasdaq the banner literally says you’re a client, “partnership” is a stretch seems to be the ostium playbook given the whole bridgewater associates stolen valor fiasco last year

Live with Nasdaq. This partnership brings us a step closer to unlocking access to global financial markets. More assets, more liquidity.

Equity supercycle on Ostium.

@variational_io rwa summer

The Phase 1 launch of RWAs is right around the corner. Phase 1 will stress-test the cross-margin engine by listing $CL, $XAU, $XAG, and $COPPER using aggregated crypto-native liquidity. Once the pipes are tested, Phase 2 will bring TradFi liquidity directly on-chain in June.

@muarmemuar @variational_io stick with majors, or trade alts on ostium for ex

How does zero-fee trading actually work on @variational_io? Trying to close my position - unrealized PnL is -$37. But with the platform's 1% slippage on ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2, do I really have to overpay literally 5.3x more just to exit? This is insane. $BTC, $SOL, $ETH, $XRP and $HYPE have excellent slippage (<0.01%), but on lower-volume alts with low OI the slippage is straight-up ridiculous. I genuinely don't know who is supposed to trade these coins. Strongly recommend the team focuses on slashing slippage on altcoins. Sure, 456+ markets sounds cool, but what's the point if they're basically untradeable? Any serious trader will just go to Bybit or MEXC for low-cap shitcoins instead. At 0.5-1.5% average slippage, it's not viable right now.

@CallumOnCrypto what about Ostium?

Portfolio Update Holdings: > 50% Cash > 50% $HYPE I have burned through a decent amount of cash farming other Perp DEX's over the past 1 year - My Points Holdings are as follows: Extended - 32,500 Variational - 3,900 Pacifica - 150,000 Current Strategy: In this market, I think that holding just cash and HYPE is fairly safe. Cash is used for airdrop farming, and generating some okay yield HYPE is the best asset I've ever owned. I trust in the project and the team, and deeply understand where the value of the token comes from (and where the room to grow is. My HYPE is split between staking on a few HyperEVM projects, e.g. Kinetiq, and also the official Hyperliquid Validators. Understanding the value in your investments is key. Don't blindly listen to others - an expensive lesson for myself. - I'm happy with my Perp DEX points holdings. I've spoken a fair amount with all 3 teams for which I'm holding large points for. Again, just like with Hyperliquid, I feel I have a very comprehensive understanding of where the value of their respective tokens will come from. There is of course risk here, but I was very selective with which Perp DEXs I farmed, and I feel there are scenarios for all 3 of these projects to reach high valuations. I don't even need all of them to pay off - I believe at least 1 of these will preform very well and pay for the cost of farming all 3 of them, plus return a nice profit. Premarkets for these projects are looking pretty solid here too - which backs up my assumptions. - Currently Extended and Variational are my farming targets. (@variational_io especially looks good right now. Use code OMNICALLUM to get access to trade there and earn 12.5% extra points!) Regular trading, delta-neutral funding arbitrage, and focusing on Open Interest seem to work well for maximising points. You can even hedge the value of your points on premarkets like @aspecta_ai or @Polymarket - For years I held no cash in my portfolio, but having some provides a level of responsiveness to opportunities, flexibility, and greatly reduces stress! I will deploy cash in various opportunities as we get more conformation of a bull market, so I'm happy to sit on my hands for a while. @extendedapp's Vault is one of the places I have capital deployed right now. The APY for the last 30 days is 8.32% so I'm very happy earning that there rather than take on extra risk. Also you earn points for your vault deposits, although far less than for trading. (Again I have an affiliate link here if anyone wants boosted points for trading on there :) app.extended.exchange/join/CALLUM) - How are you guys positioned for the current market? Happy with your positions, or looking to pivot?

Variational @variational_io 的积分明显变卷了，上周我交易了有 10M 交易量，只拿到了 142 分。 现在离 Q3 越来越近了，留给我们的时间不多了！

Fun fact: this was the 32nd biweekly update since we began posting them in February 2025. In the first biweekly update, Omni had processed $8.8M in cumulative volume.

variational doing numbers. can't quite believe how many people are STILL saying only $200M FDV it's so obvious this isn't just another perp dex
