Arkham&#8217;s new platform will primarily focus on <strong>attracting retail investors<\/strong>, although <strong>it<\/strong> <strong>will not be available<\/strong> to users in the United States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In an effort to optimize its operation, Arkham <strong>will move its offices<\/strong> from London and New York to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Although Binance continues to lead this segment, <strong>its market share has decreased due to various regulatory actions<\/strong>. In September 2024, the trading volume of derivatives on centralized exchanges reached<strong> $3.07 trillion<\/strong>, accounting for approximately <strong>71% of the total cryptocurrency volume<\/strong>. This offers an opportunity for Arkham to capture a portion of this lucrative market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To support the growth of its new platform, the company relies on its <strong>existing user base<\/strong>. Its data analysis platform, which mainly offers free services, has around <strong>880,000 monthly active users<\/strong>. Furthermore, the company has intensified its promotional campaigns, signing a sponsorship deal with the Turkish football team <strong>Galatasaray<\/strong>, which will help increase its visibility among consumers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR Arkham Intelligence plans to launch a cryptocurrency derivatives platform in November 2024, focused on attracting retail investors.
