dYdX is an exchange for margin trading in digital assets and perpetual contracts. It offers exchange, trading, and lending services. The platform runs on smart contracts on the Ethereum network. Transactions are made between users directly (P2P).

In April, dYdX denied rumors of mass blocking of customers from Russia. In August, the exchange blocked users whose addresses interacted with Tornado Cash, a crypto mixer that had previously been put on the US sanctions list.

In November, analysts at Santiment named DYDX as one of the main beneficiaries of the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried.

DYDX was among the top 5 altcoins to benefit from the FTX bankruptcy. For what other coins made the list, read GetBlock Magazine’s special feature.
