**February 13: Perp DEX Extended—founded by ex-Revolut team members—has launched its first six stock perpetual contract trading pairs, per official sources.** The pairs include Google parent Alphabet, Nvidia, AMD, Tesla, Strategy, and Amazon. In a statement, Extended noted the main reason stock perpetual contracts haven’t scaled meaningfully on-chain is insufficient liquidity. The platform is actively addressing this gap and will share further updates down the line.

February 13th — Official sources confirm Hyperliquid has activated the cross-margin feature for its HIP-3 permissionless perpetual contract market on testnet (mainnet support is not yet live). Notably, this feature qualifies for Hyperliquid’s mainnet-level bug bounty program. For HIP-3 deployers: An asset must first have cross-margin enabled before users can utilize it for cross-margin trading. How it works: Under a unified account, all cross-margin perpetual contracts using the same collateral asset can share margin across multiple DEXs. Assets from different DEXs are protected up to their maintenance margin threshold to prevent automatic liquidation caused by sharp price swings on other DEXs. This “protective cross-margin” system balances system solvency with user experience. Key caveat: Cross-margin is not designed for DEX abstract interfaces, and such interfaces should not support cross-margin usage via abstract trades. Users should use a unified account or portfolio margi

**Binance Founder CZ’s Key AMA Takeaways (Feb 13)** 1. **Meme Trading & Markets** Meme traders need personalized strategies, CZ said. Meme coins require strong cultural roots for long-term success (e.g., Dogecoin, Floki’s loyal fan bases). This bear market may not follow the 4-year cycle—traders must assess risks carefully, but the industry will thrive long-term. 2. **Industry Builders** Developers shouldn’t fixate on short-term swings. Projects must update offerings and engage communities regardless of market conditions. Long-term outlook: Market growth, Bitcoin/major cryptos outperforming, most mainstream public chains succeeding. Teams should refine products (skip competitor comparisons) and prioritize users: protect funds, low fees, fast speeds, top UX—“everything else is noise.” 3. **Personal Focus** CZ values societal impact over the “richest person” label. He’s fortunate to have resources (capability, team, funding, time) to do meaningful work: “Few my ag
