Speaking about this raise, Antonio Juliano, Founder, dYdX, said:
“It is a raise that’s coming pretty soon after the previous one. The reason for this is we just see a huge opportunity in crypto derivatives and especially the way that decentralized derivatives can play into the market.
We want to make dYdX one of the biggest crypto exchanges period, but on a three to five-year time horizon.
Our goal really is to get to a point where we’re only publishing open-source code and all of dYdX is run natively on the blockchain, and the blockchain is available to more people in more places in the world,”
– Founder, dYdX
