Solana's official announcement "Building Fully On-Chain Perpetual Contracts on Solana" aims to vigorously promote the ecological construction of fully on-chain perpetual contracts (Perps) in the future, with the goal of making Solana the world's strongest on-chain financial derivatives infrastructure. Currently, the trading volume of crypto derivatives is mainly concentrated on centralized trading platforms or hybrid models that rely on off-chain matching engines, which Solana believes is a transitional phase. It hopes to make a truly fully on-chain derivatives market a reality through the characteristics of high-performance blockchain—where all processes such as order submission, price updates, matching, and clearing are completed on-chain, while maintaining institutional-level speed and low costs.The Solana Foundation will provide funding, technical support, and resource allocation, focusing on supporting projects that meet the following criteria: fully on-chain execution, price discovery based on real bilateral liquidity (rather than purely pool pricing), Solana priority with revenue flowing back on-chain, teams with derivatives experience, and core code being open source. It also welcomes the co-construction of surrounding infrastructure such as front ends, aggregators, vaults, and market-making tools.

According to Jinshi reports, during Trump's second term, trades that were strategically positioned before the announcement of significant policies may have brought millions of dollars in profits to some traders. Several legal experts have stated that these trades should be investigated to maintain market fairness and determine whether there was any information leakage.According to a Reuters summary, before the Trump administration made a series of key decisions regarding tariffs, Venezuela, and Iran, there were already suspected trades in the market that appeared to be positioned in advance. These trades involved different types of markets and assets, such as options, commodity futures, and prediction markets.Andrew Wostein, an insider trading expert at UCLA School of Law, stated that these trades look very suspicious. Although the number of cases is limited, these patterns align perfectly with expectations—if government officials and their friends trade using information advantages, such situations will arise.Eitan Gorman, former director of the CFTC Enforcement Division and former federal prosecutor, stated that such trades typically attract regulatory attention; however, the insider trading laws in the commodity markets are relatively complex, and there are still few precedents in this area.
