GMXSOL launches first RWA perpetual contract for S&P 500 ETF

2 min read

GMXSOL, the Solana-based decentralized leveraged trading platform, has launched its first real-world asset perpetual contract for the exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500.

Summary
  • Solana-based decentralized exchange protocol GMXSOL has launched a perpetual contract for the S&P 500 ETF.
  • Chainlink will power the RWA perpetual contract, having recently unveiled the Chainlink Data Streams for U.S. equities and ETFs.

Decentralized finance protocol GMXSOL, which is built on the Solana (SOL) blockchain, debuted the real-world assets perpetual contract market for the S&P 500 ETF on Friday, Aug. 8. The perpetual contract for the SPY/USD pair will be powered by Chainlink (LINK), GMXSOL said.

The S&P 500 ETF, listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol SPY, is one of the most liquid exchange-traded funds tracking the benchmark U.S. index. It represents a portfolio of the 500 companies included in the S&P 500.

GMXSOL’s move comes amid growing demand for tokenized real-world assets. Forecasts put the global real-world asset sector on track to reach $30 trillion by 2030. As of August 8, 2025, the total onchain value of tokenized assets exceeds $25.4 billion, with asset holders increasing by more than 17% over the past 30 days.

U.S. equities and ETFs onchain

Major developments within the crypto regulatory landscape, including the landmark stablecoin law GENIUS Act, is buoying investors. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Paul Atkins recently launched “Project Crypto” as it looks to bring America’s capital markets onchain. 

GMXSOL is one of the DeFi protocols eyeing expansion in this space, with a major step being the strategic integration with Chainlink. 

Recently, Chainlink unveiled its Data Streams for the U.S.-listed equities and ETFs. On-chain perpetual and spot exchange GMX, which allows for trading of BTC, ETH and SOL perpetual futures with up to 100x leverage, and DeFi protocol Kamino, have also adopted Chainlink Data Streams to tap into real-time pricing for top stocks and ETFs. 

Tokenized assets available to traders across the platforms include SPY, CRCL, QQQ, NVDA and AAPL. Chainlink’s Data Streams are live across 37 blockchain networks.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
