edgeX secures Circle Ventures backing to expand stablecoin-powered perpetual trading infrastructure across DeFi markets.

February 10, 2026 – edgeX, a decentralized trading infrastructure for perpetual markets and broader trading, today announced a strategic investment from Circle Ventures.

edgeX supports perpetual trading use cases where stablecoins are used for trading and settlement, an area that aligns with Circle’s broader focus on expanding stablecoin utility within decentralized financial systems.

Circle plans to integrate native USDC and its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) with the EDGE Chain, subject to completion. The EDGE Chain is a blockchain that powers edgeX, and is purpose-built for performance-intensive trading applications. The upcoming launch of native USDC and CCTP on EDGE is expected to enable new use cases for institutions, developers, traders, infrastructure providers, market makers, and other EDGE ecosystem users.

According to internal metrics, edgeX currently supports hundreds of thousands of transacting addresses and processes billions of dollars in daily trading volume, with substantial open interest and liquidity across its markets. The edgeX mobile application has seen strong adoption, particularly across Asia, reflecting a broader shift toward mobile-first trading behavior.

More recently, RWA-linked perpetual markets, such as stock and commodity perpetuals – have emerged as a key area of growth for edgeX, alongside spot trading and prediction markets. In parallel, the company continues to develop the EDGE Chain to support performance-intensive, trading-focused applications.
