Had a blast meeting and exchanging ideas with so many people in the space about the future of both onchain finance and the growing opportunities for binary contracts and short-term markets. Excited to see where things go next!
Our CTO @Sebastianq2001 and founding engineer @Jasonvu123 had a great time at @nextpredictio!
Great getting to meet so many people in the space and talk about the future of onchain finance.
If we didn't get a chance to meet, our DMs are open! Always looking to connect as we continue growing.

Couldn't agree more. Onchain finance is creating a massive opportunity for new trading products, but liquidity infrastructure needs to scale alongside them.
@tradeupdown seeing this firsthand as we continue onboarding MMs to support our fast moving 5, 15, and 60 minute markets. Lots of opportunity ahead!

With the amount of new trading products and novel defi primitives being launched, demand for market makers, liquid funds and general liquidity providers is growing rapidly.
There simply isn't enough liquidity, risk capital, or market making infra to support the pace of the new products being launched so I suspect we will see incumbents scale aggressively and potentially an opening for new firms to enter. I see a golden opportunity for onchain finance.

Updown is officially launching with @alliance !
Markets move every second, so why should trading take hours or days?
We're making short-term trading more accessible with simple Up/Down markets on stocks, crypto, and pre-IPO assets. Take a position on where prices are headed over the next 5, 15, or 60 minutes, with optional leverage.
Big thanks to the Alliance team for supporting us. We're just getting started.

This is lowkey mind boggling. Doing 3x the weekly revenue of an offchain giant like Hyperliquid off something as seemingly gimmicky as 1000x leverage is crazy.
At the same time, pretty powerful signal of market demand. The appetite for short-term derivatives and asymmetric upside has never been clearer.

JUST IN: PAPERTRADE CROSSES $55M IN WEEKLY REVENUE
MORE THAN 3X THAT OF HYPERLIQUID

Affiliate-provided liquidity isn't a new concept. Cold-starting liquidity is one of the biggest obstacles for new exchanges, which is why Kalshi had its affiliate Kalshi Trading providing liquidity early on, as its 2021 filing shows.
As markets grow, onboarding independent MMs is key to scaling liquidity and moving away from relying on a single source of market making.

FACT: Kalshi owns Kalshi Trading LLC, a Kalshi affiliate market maker that, per Kalshi’s own filings, was "established as a profit-making enterprise" to support liquidity through spread trading.
So yes, Kalshi’s affiliate trades on the other side of your bets.

liquidity is a huge part of building better short term markets.
our trade API is now live and we’re looking to onboard market makers that want to quote Updown programmatically across our interval markets.
public market data, REST order entry and live websocket feeds are all available. if you’re building an MM or trading system and want access, DM us!

Been reminded recently while working on the @tradeupdown app how important a good mobile UI really is.
Whether you're targeting consumers or prosumers, the onramp, deposits and trade flow have to feel effortless. Every extra step takes the user further away from actually the market.
Traders ultimately want to feel like they have an edge. Giving them the fastest path from seeing an opportunity to expressing a view might be one of the most critical parts of retention.

Exciting to get positive signals from users on how easy it is to jump into short term markets on @tradeupdown
Biggest hits so far have been the 5 min markets for stocks, which you really can’t find anywhere else.
Traditional markets are closed on Saturday, but Updown users are still trading 24/7⏰
