Ostium Labs has launched a decentralised execution layer for global markets, with Jump and other institutional participants serving as hedging partners. The protocol has processed over $50 billion in cumulative volume and generated nearly $35 million in revenue across 26,000 traders. The platform enables self-custodial trading of traditional assets including stocks, commodities, indices and foreign exchange through perpetuals. Unlike previous decentralised platforms that rebuild liquidity for each asset, Ostium leverages pricing from traditional market venues through institutional partners. The new architecture separates trade settlement from directional exposure hedging, with a capital pool programmatically hedging net exposures offchain through institutional partners. This allows open interest to scale dynamically based on underlying market depth. Ostium has raised over $27 million from General Catalyst and Jump Crypto.

Ostium, a perpetual swaps platform for real-world assets, is using QUODD's real-time market data to power its oracle infrastructure, providing pricing for equities, foreign exchange and commodities. The partnership enables institutional-grade execution for onchain trading whilst maintaining tight spreads and reduced slippage. Unlike traditional decentralised finance platforms that rebuild liquidity onchain, Ostium sources pricing directly from underlying traditional markets. QUODD's real-time data provides reliable pricing, bid-ask spreads and market depth across global assets, supporting Ostium's expansion into US equities, FX pairs and commodities. The platform targets non-US traders familiar with contracts for difference and traditional brokerages, offering onchain access to global markets. Ostium, founded by Harvard and Bridgewater alumni, is backed by General Catalyst, Jump Crypto and Coinbase Ventures.
