dTrade raises $6.4 million in seed funding
Derivatives are contracts that represent an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a digital asset at a pre-determined price and date in future. Decentralization is at the heart of cryptocurrencies. The market was created to shift power away from central authorities and put it in the hands of the people. However, centralized trading platforms have dominate the cryptocurrency space until now. Now, new companies are springing up to change that narrative.DeFi platform dTrade has raised $6.4 million from a seed funding round. The seed funding was led by investors Three Arrows, DeFiance, Huobi and Polychain. Evidently, the firm wants to become the first derivatives exchange built on Polkadot. Polkadot is operated by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) which uses blockchain technology to offer a secure digital ledger that tracks financial interactions.
The platform wants to capture a slice of the crypto derivatives market. In effect, the cryptocurrency derivatives market is a multi-billion industry. Still, the derivative alternatives only captures a small portion of the market. Granted, it is heavily centralized at the moment.
Platforms like FTX and Binance process billions of dollars in derivatives volume daily. According to its press release, dTrade wants to play a bigger role in the market. It intends to remove custodial and counterparty risks from crypto derivatives trading. DTrade co-founder Nikodem Grzesiak revealed that most of the contracts are going through audits ahead of their official launch in June. The second version of the perpetual swap exchange is live on the Edgeware testnet. Indeed, dTrade will carry out the public testnet in a few months.
Decentralized platforms are miles behind the centralized exchanges
Grzesiak revealed that decentralized exchanges process less than 1,000th of the crypto derivatives market’s perpetual swap volumes. However, he is hopeful that dTrade’s perpetual swaps and options support can reduce the deficit.“Ultimately, the thesis is that decentralized platforms are better at distributing value to the end-users, so there is simply a better value proposition for traders,” he added. Grzesiak assured the crypto space that dTrade will operate differently. He disclosed that holders of the protocol’s DET governance token would get to decide where to use the revenue generated by the platform. This contrasts with centralized exchanges where the funds flow to the management or the holding company behind the platforms.
dTrade will be available to traders in various parts of the world. However, it won’t be available to US traders due to the country’s regulatory stance on leveraged derivatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
