GMTrade has launched Forex Perpetuals on Solana, opening the door for crypto users to trade major global currency pairs on-chain. The update was shared through posts on X.
Forex is the largest financial market in the world. It handles trillions of dollars in daily trades. Until now, most forex trading stayed inside banks and traditional platforms. GMTrade aims to change that by moving forex trading onto blockchain rails.
With Forex Perpetuals on Solana, traders can take positions on major currency pairs without owning the assets. These contracts do not expire. Traders can stay in positions as long as they manage risk and margin.
GMTrade says Solana’s fast speed and low fees make it a strong base for this product. Transactions settle quickly. Costs stay low. Data remains open and transparent.
The launch supports four major forex pairs. These include GBP/USD, EUR/USD, AUD/USD, and NZD/USD. These pairs reflect key global economies and are widely traded in traditional markets.
By offering Forex Perpetuals on Solana, GMTrade is targeting traders who follow global macro trends. This includes interest rates, inflation data, and central bank decisions. The goal is to let users trade these themes directly on-chain.

From Crypto Tokens to Global Currencies
GMTrade is not starting from zero. The team also shared that its total value locked has crossed $10 million. TVL shows how much capital users have placed into a protocol. A rising TVL often signals growing trust and usage.
The platform says this milestone came as more users explored its products. The forex launch may help attract a wider audience beyond crypto-native traders.
Forex markets run 24 hours a day. Crypto markets do the same. GMTrade believes this makes on-chain forex a natural fit. It also allows traders to stay fully self-custodied while accessing global markets.
Forex Perpetuals on Solana could mark a shift in how traders access currency markets. If adoption grows, more real-world financial products may move on-chain. For now, GMTrade’s launch shows how fast decentralized finance continues to expand.
