LayerZero will launch an institutional-grade on-chain trading platform called ATLAS

BlockBeats News, August 25th, LayerZero will launch the blockchain trading platform ATLAS in the fall of 2026, targeting mainly financial institutions with no consumer-facing applications.

ATLAS will be based on LayerZero's Zero blockchain announced in February this year, initially supporting spot crypto assets and perpetual contracts, with future plans to expand to prediction contracts, futures, and options.

Citadel Securities, DTCC, and the parent company of the NYSE, ICE, are all partners of Zero. LayerZero stated that on the first day of ATLAS's launch, top global market makers will provide liquidity.
