Bullish, a technology company developing products for the
digital assets sector, announced today that since the initial
launch of its flagship product, the Bullish exchange, total trading
volumes on the platform have now exceeded US$5 billion and total
24-hour trading volume exceeded US$300 million on Jan. 25.
The trading platform, which launched in November 2021, leverages
innovations in decentralized finance (DeFi) with regulatory
compliance frameworks, giving institutional and retail traders
access to deep liquidity and low-cost transactions.
Key 24-hour trading volume milestones on Bullish exchange
since launch in November include:
- Nov. 30, 2021: US$5 million+
- Dec. 1, 2021: US$10 million+
- Dec. 7, 2021: US$50 million+
- Dec. 9, 2021: US$100 million+
- Dec. 14, 2021: US$150 million+
- Jan. 24, 2022: US$200 million+
- Jan. 25, 2022: US$300 million+
An evolution from the traditional exchange, Bullish’s
proprietary Hybrid Order Book pairs the high-performance of a
traditional Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) with Automated Market
Making (AMM) — a protocol that uses a mathematical algorithm to
facilitate prices in a transparent, market-neutral, and
deterministic manner. Bullish Liquidity Pools offer clients the
ability to manage balanced portfolios while earning passive yields
at scale across highly variable market conditions.
The Bullish exchange leverages a private blockchain in order to
integrate the strategic advantages of blockchain’s inherent
capabilities into the platform design, and achieve a new degree of
security, transparency, and resiliency. Combined with WebAuthn
standards, which eliminate many security vulnerabilities inherent
with passwords by using public key cryptography, users will
experience a password-free authentication environment, creating a
more secure onboarding process and ongoing account access.
Bullish previously announced its intention to go public on the
NYSE through a business combination with Far Peak Acquisition Corp
(NYSE: FPAC), a special purpose acquisition company. The Bullish
exchange is operated by Bullish (GI) Limited and regulated by the
Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.
