Arkham launches points program to woo derivatives traders

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the finance and technology sectors, I find it fascinating to witness the rapid evolution of the cryptocurrency market. The latest move by Arkham Intelligence to launch a points program for its newly-launched derivatives exchange is an intriguing development that underscores the growing competition among players in this space.


As an analyst, I’m excited to share that we, at Arkham Intelligence, have initiated a rewarding loyalty program to attract traders to our cutting-edge cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, as announced on November 14th.

Traders have the opportunity to accumulate points by engaging in spot cryptocurrency trades and trading perpetual futures contracts, as stated by Arkham. This event spans over a period of 30 days, with the accumulated points being exchangeable for Arkham’s own token, ARKM.

On the 6th of November, Arkham introduced a digital asset derivatives trading platform. This platform is said to cater primarily to individual traders and aims to rival established players like Binance in the market.

In a recent post on the X platform, Arkham explained that their platform combines Arkham’s research findings with real-time on-chain audits and proof-of-reserve (PoR) verification mechanisms.

It is not available to people in the United States, Arkham said.
