"this has fundamentally never been done before, at least at the scale that you see" CEO @fiddybps1 on launching the first Bitcoin VTF at @consensus2026 vaults earn yield by selling $BTC options. all on-chain, powered by high throughput derivatives trading.

most people can’t run a long vol or short vol strategy themselves. don’t have the time, the tools, or the desire to manage it. Cole, founder of Volmex & BVIV on @dimetvhq: “the value of vaults is you codify a more complicated strategy into a simpler UX and make it more accessible. vaults can automate strategies — long vol, short vol, mean reversion — all codified into a vault platform.” that’s a VTF. try our vaults now on app.paradex.trade/vaults

Founder of Volmex & BVIV @ColeGotTweets on @dimetvhq talking about why vaults work: "vaults are a great form factor for institutions and retail to access yield products and other structures. It makes it really simple to get a particular exposure. It's a very passive and simple product and can potentially onboard a lot of users to DeFi, yield stuff, different derivative strategies." VTFs execute complex vol strategies 24/7. fully on-chain. for everyone. app.paradex.trade/vaults

why institutions hide their options trades CEO @fiddybps1 on @dimetvhq explaining the privacy problem: trading 1000 BTC? your order moves the market while you're executing markets are reflexive. traders see your size, prices react. you create adverse slippage against yourself RFQ (Request for Quote) solves this: size, atomic execution, and privacy your trade will settle on paradex without tipping off the market one price. full size. no slippage. RFQ will soon be embedded directly in the paradex UI. trade anything 24/7 with full privacy. app.paradex.trade/options

CEO @fiddybps1 on RFQ coming to Paradex: pair trades in size (long $BTC / short $ETH, spot vs perp) with bulk leg execution basket trades: one RFQ, one price, 50-asset portfolio exit your entire book instantly. no working orders across multiple books mix perps & options into programmable portfolios "nothing like this exists in crypto" perfected on Paradigm since 2019. minimum block sizes in the hundreds of dollars. institutional execution for everybody.
