dYdX launches Solana spot trading with zero fees for US users

dYdX Labs, the team behind one of the world’s leading decentralized derivatives exchanges, has launched its first spot trading product and opened access to U.S. users for the first time.

The initial rollout includes Solana trading, marking a major expansion for the platform known for its perpetual contracts.

To attract new users, dYdX is offering zero trading fees throughout December. The move signals a strategic pivot as the exchange builds out a full-service decentralized trading platform while maintaining its core DeFi principles of transparency and self-custody.

“By launching with competitive fees and Solana spot trading, we’re delivering the tools professionals need while expanding access in a regulated way,” said Eddie Zhang, President of dYdX Labs.

With over $1.5 trillion in cumulative trading volume since 2017, dYdX is positioning its platform for broader adoption across both retail and institutional markets. While perpetual contracts remain unavailable to U.S. users, the company said it will monitor regulatory developments closely to determine future availability of derivatives.
