RateX Launches on Solana: World’s First Leveraged Yield Exchange teaming up with Jupiter and Jito
RateX Goes Live on Solana Mainnet on 17th Oct 2024. RateX, the world’s first leveraged yield exchange, has officially launched on the Solana mainnet, marking a significant milestone in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Built with innovation at its core, RateX enables users to trade synthetic yield tokens (YT) of various yield-bearing assets (YBA) with leverage of up to 10x. This powerful platform introduces groundbreaking solutions to maximize capital efficiency, while addressing common DeFi challenges, such as impermanent loss and limited yield-trading opportunities.
RateX, a proud recipient of a grant from the Solana Foundation and the first-place winner of the Solana Renaissance Hackathon (MCM), aims to push the boundaries of decentralized finance. The platform’s unique value proposition comes from its use of synthetic yield tokens, which track the yield of different assets and allow traders to take positions with leveraged exposure. This gives users more flexibility and opportunities to capitalize on fluctuations in yields, empowering them to generate higher returns on their investments.
The introduction of RateX also brings a cutting-edge Time-Decaying Automated Market Maker (AMM) to the forefront. This AMM is designed to improve capital efficiency while reducing the risks traditionally associated with liquidity provisioning, particularly in expiring contracts. The mechanism minimizes the potential for impermanent loss—a common issue for liquidity providers (LPs) in volatile markets—and aims to eventually eliminate it altogether. As a result, RateX offers a more robust and rewarding environment for both traders and liquidity providers.
In addition to its leveraged yield trading capabilities, RateX caters to users looking for stability by providing fixed-yield options. These options allow users to lock in specific yields over a predetermined period, offering more predictable returns compared to the highly variable DeFi market. Whether traders are seeking high-risk, high-reward opportunities or more stable, consistent gains, RateX provides an ecosystem that accommodates diverse trading strategies.
Key Partnerships with Jupiter and Jito
Further bolstering its platform, RateX has announced strategic partnerships with two prominent players in the Solana ecosystem—Jupiter and Jito. These partnerships not only strengthen RateX’s technological infrastructure but also extend its reach within the DeFi and staking communities.
Jupiter, one of the largest decentralized trading platforms on Solana, is known for its high liquidity and strong governance framework. With an extensive community and a focus on enabling smooth cross-asset trading, Jupiter plays a pivotal role in bringing liquidity to the RateX platform. This partnership ensures that RateX users will benefit from deep liquidity pools, efficient price discovery, and seamless execution of trades. Jupiter’s active governance community also opens the door for collaborative development efforts, allowing RateX to evolve in line with community-driven innovations.
On the staking side, RateX has joined forces with Jito, the leading liquid staking platform on Solana. Jito’s expertise in liquid staking will enhance RateX’s offerings by providing users with access to staking-derived yield-bearing assets. By leveraging Jito’s technology, RateX can integrate liquid staking into its synthetic yield ecosystem, offering even more diverse options for traders to earn yield. With this partnership, users can expect enhanced staking efficiency, better capital utilization, and a broader range of yield-bearing assets available for leveraged trading.
A New Era for DeFi: RateX as a Pillar of Infrastructure
The launch of RateX comes at a time when the DeFi sector is evolving rapidly, and the demand for more sophisticated financial products is higher than ever. By pioneering leveraged yield trading and forming key partnerships with Jupiter and Jito, RateX is positioning itself as a crucial pillar of the Solana ecosystem and DeFi infrastructure at large. RateX’s mission is to redefine how yield movements are traded, making the entire process more efficient, transparent, and accessible to both seasoned traders and new entrants to the space.
As the world’s first leveraged yield exchange, RateX is primed to play a central role in shaping the next phase of decentralized finance, often referred to as the “next DeFi summer.” With its innovative platform, strong partnerships, and focus on capital efficiency, RateX is setting the stage for a new era of financial freedom and opportunities for DeFi enthusiasts worldwide.

How Bitcoin’s price rise has increased the number of cryptocurrency payments
NOWPayments Announces Significant Gain in Crypto Payments
NOWPayments, a leading crypto payment gateway, is excited to announce the significaте Increase of Crypto Payments since the beginning of November.
Why Bitcoin took a new ATH in November?
Starting in January 2024, Bitcoin’s price was around $48,717, marking a period of cautious optimism following a tumultuous 2023. Throughout the first half of the year, Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations as market dynamics shifted, driven by regulatory developments and increased institutional interest. By November 2024, Bitcoin had reached a pivotal moment, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $75,000 on November 8 and then surging to $89,000 shortly thereafter.
This remarkable growth didn’t go unnoticed by the business world. Companies across various industries quickly recognized the massive business opportunity Bitcoin presented. The ATH sent a clear message: Bitcoin was no longer just a speculative asset but a powerful tool for transactions, store of value, and an entry point into the broader crypto economy.
Businesses’ interest in Bitcoin grew for several reasons:
- Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions rolled out Bitcoin-based services, providing legitimacy and opening doors for mainstream use.
- Global Payment Integration: Bitcoin’s borderless nature appealed to businesses seeking efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly as inflation and currency instability impacted traditional fiat systems.
- Hedge Against Inflation: As global economies faced ongoing inflationary pressures, Bitcoin became a preferred asset for protecting wealth, especially for businesses looking to diversify holdings.
Climbing to $75K
The journey to $75,000 began with a series of positive developments in the cryptocurrency market. Following the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs and increased institutional buying, Bitcoin’s price steadily climbed. On November 7, 2024, Bitcoin reached approximately $76,999 before closing at around $75,820. This surge was fueled by a bullish market sentiment as investors reacted positively to the election results and anticipated regulatory clarity under Trump’s administration.
Breaking Through $80K
Following its initial surge to $75K, Bitcoin quickly surpassed the $80,000 mark on November 10, 2024. The momentum continued as traders rushed to capitalize on the positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. By this point, BTC was trading at approximately $80,976, reflecting an increase of nearly 9.64% from the previous day.
Approaching a New BTC All Time High at $90K
As of November 12, 2024, Bitcoin’s price soared to around $89,000. This represents a staggering increase within just a few days following the election and highlights the cryptocurrency’s volatility and potential for rapid gains. The combination of strong demand from both retail and institutional investors has driven BTC prices higher as they anticipate further growth.
How has the new ATH for BTC led to an increase in crypto payments?
We decided to analyse how the rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency – BTC affected the number of payments. NOWPayments team took the number of payments before the U.S. election and compared it with the data after the Trump has won. The result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the growth of BTC from $72,729.89 to $90,750.94, the number of payments increased by as much as 8%. This significant change indicates the increased interest in cryptocurrency and the correlation of BTC price and cryptocurrency usage.
- Correlation Between BTC Price and Crypto Payments:
The 8% increase in the number of payments demonstrates a clear correlation between Bitcoin’s price growth and the rising adoption of cryptocurrency for transactions. As BTC’s value surged, so did user engagement with crypto payments.
- Increased Interest in Cryptocurrency:
The significant rise in payments highlights growing public and business interest in cryptocurrencies as a viable payment method, especially during moments of market optimism fueled by events like the U.S. election.
- Market Events Drive Crypto Adoption:
The post-election Bitcoin rally, combined with its ATH, underscores how political and economic events can directly impact crypto adoption, encouraging more users to explore cryptocurrency as both an investment and a practical payment tool.

Digital Assets Underinsured: Report Identifies $19 Billion Coverage Deficit, Less Than 3% Secured
A recent report, Furthering Digital Assets 2024: Pioneering Insurance Solutions for the Web3 Era, highlights a substantial coverage gap in digital asset insurance, revealing that only 3% of digital assets are currently insured. This gap leaves billions at risk, with an estimated $19 billion in losses from fraud and security breaches since 2011.
The report emphasizes significant incidents that illustrate the vulnerability in the sector. These include a $650 million breach at Ronin in March 2022 and a $614 million loss from PolyNetwork in August 2021. As investments in digital assets increase, so does the call for comprehensive risk management solutions, particularly from institutional stakeholders.
With more than 90% of crypto hedge funds expressing a desire for mandatory insurance on exchange-based assets and around 40% of institutional investors now holding cryptocurrency, the demand for tailored insurance products is clear. Further Ventures, the report’s creator, points to a growing interest from institutions seeking ways to protect their digital assets through robust insurance policies.
The report also sheds light on recent regulatory responses. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), for example, has set mandates for digital asset custodians, requiring 50% insurance coverage on cold storage and 100% on hot wallets. Despite these initiatives, high premiums remain a challenge, with average rates around 0.5%-5% for custody insurance and 5-10% for slashing events and Directors & Officers (D&O) policies.
According to the report, addressing the insurance gap in the digital assets industry will likely require innovation in policy structure, more accessible premium rates, and a regulatory environment that supports the development of effective, comprehensive solutions. As the sector evolves, insurance options may play a critical role in fostering institutional confidence and broader adoption of digital assets.
