dYdX Launches Solana Spot Trading, Zero Fees in December
Solana spot trading is now officially live on dYdX! For the first time ever, traders can buy and sell Solana native assets directly on-chain through dydx.trade’s web interface, alongside perpetuals trading.
Solana has become the epicenter of high-speed retail trading. With this pilot rollout, dYdX is providing a Solana-optimized spot trading interface for traders who want a fast, trusted, and convenient on-chain trading experience. The pilot reflects an early iteration and reflects a small first step in offering a fully-featured Solana trading terminal.
- Access the full Solana ecosystem: Trade Solana blue chips, memes and pre-launch assets, including on launchpads like pump.fun and bonk.fun
- Unified Perps + Solana interface: Solana memes now sit directly alongside dYdX perpetuals in the familiar dydx.trade interface that our users love
- Market Orders Types: Start trading today with fast market orders. Support for limit orders, take-profit, stop-loss, and other advanced order types are coming soon
- Start trading instantly: Connect a wallet from Solana or any other chain or via our Turnkey-powered social login to deposit and trade instantly. dYdX automatically provides dedicated deposit addresses for both spot and perps.
- Zero Fees* in December: As part of this pilot, there will be 0 fees for Solana spot trading during the month of December. This may be modified in the future. [Any fees charged in the future could be used to supplement the community DYDX buyback program.]
*Note, third party fees will apply (e.g. fees from launchpads, spot liquidity pools and the Solana network).
dYdX Expands Access to U.S. Traders*
This launch also marks a major step toward our mission of democratizing access to financial opportunity: dYdX is now available to U.S. traders for the first time, starting with Solana spot trading. U.S. users can now trade Solana assets on-chain and interact with the protocol through a fully decentralized, self-custodied interface.
“We’re excited to bring dYdX to the United States and provide American traders with access to institutional-grade decentralized trading infrastructure” Eddie Zhang, President of dYdX Labs said, adding:
“This expansion represents an important step forward as the regulatory environment evolves to accommodate digital assets. By launching with competitive fee structures and spot trading on Solana, we’re committed to delivering the deep liquidity and advanced trading tools that professionals demand, while maintaining the transparency and self-custody principles that define decentralized finance.”
*Note, only Solana spot markets are available, dYdX perpetuals trading is not available in the United States and Canada and other restricted jurisdictions.
Community Governance
Solana spot trading is becoming a core product pillar for dYdX, driving greater access, deeper liquidity, and broader ecosystem participation. Spot trading on Solana was made possible through the dYdX community’s governance process. As always, dYdX’s progress reflects the input, guidance, and shared vision of the ecosystem. dYdX will continue to evolve through community-led decisions that shape what we build next.

Looking Ahead
We’re expanding the Solana spot trading experience with advanced order types (limit, take-profit, stop-loss), a major mobile upgrade, and a suite of social trading features inside the Pocket Protector Bot. Traders will soon be able to follow friends, monitor performance, discover trending assets, and copy-trade top performers.
Together with our community, we’re expanding what’s possible on dYdX – from launching Solana on-chain trading to opening access in the U.S. These milestones reflect the shared vision of our ecosystem and the direction we’re building toward.
Thank you for being part of this journey – the best is still ahead.
