Atlas Launches Cardano Perpetual Futures Exchange With Stablecoin Collateral

Atlas launched a decentralized perpetual futures exchange (DEX) on Cardano on Nov. 2, allowing traders to use stablecoins as collateral for leveraged long or short positions. The 12 largest decentralized exchanges offering perpetual futures recorded $1.7 trillion in notional volume in Q2 2026, down from $2 trillion in Q1. Those figures aggregate activity across the 12 venues and do not establish trading activity on Atlas or Cardano. Simon Yoon reports on blockchain technology for TokenPost.
