Overview
Rage Trade
Rage Trade is a multi-chain perpetual aggregator that transforms on-chain derivatives trading by intelligently routing orders across leading protocols including GMX, Synthetix, dYdX, Aevo, and Hyperliquid. Rather than locking traders into a single venue's liquidity and pricing, Rage Trade acts as a smart order router — comparing prices, funding rates, and available incentives in real-time to surface the optimal execution path for every trade. The protocol combines the familiar convenience of centralized exchange interfaces with the transparency and self-custody guarantees of decentralized platforms. Traders no longer need to manually monitor multiple protocols or manage accounts across different chains — Rage Trade unifies the fragmented perpetuals landscape into one seamless experience. Hyperliquid's inclusion as a core routing destination brings unmatched execution speed and capital efficiency to the aggregator. With its native token and growing DeFi integrations, Rage Trade serves both active traders seeking best execution and yield-oriented users looking to capitalize on funding rate differentials and protocol incentives across the multi-chain perpetuals market.
Visit websiteTrade.xyz (HyperUnit)
Trade.xyz, developed by HyperUnit, made history as the first protocol to acquire a HIP-3 ticker on Hyperliquid, securing the XYZ100 listing. The platform enables 24/7 trading of tokenized US stocks and ETFs — assets that traditional markets restrict to weekday trading hours. By bringing equities like Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and major ETFs on-chain, Trade.xyz solves a fundamental problem: global investors, particularly those outside the US, face geographic restrictions and time-zone barriers when accessing US stock markets. On Hyperliquid's high-throughput order book, tokenized equities benefit from near-instant settlement, deep liquidity, and the same seamless trading experience as crypto perpetuals. The XYZ100 ticker functions as an index exposure product, giving users diversified equity exposure in a single position. Tokenization is handled in a trust-minimized manner, ensuring price fidelity with underlying assets. Trade.xyz represents the convergence of TradFi and DeFi — crypto-native infrastructure meeting traditional asset classes — and is a flagship demonstration of what Hyperliquid's HIP-3 standard enables for real-world asset trading at any hour of the day, seven days a week.
