Variational is the cheapest place on-chain to trade both small ($10k) and large ($1M) orders for every TradFi market with a swap listed. TradFi liquidity on-chain.

Throwback to @JustinCBram sharing the stage with @JohannKerbrat from @RobinhoodApp at @XRPSEOUL during last month’s KBW.

One underappreciated thing about @variational_io is that we're basically the only exchange with in-app, top-tier support from real people Median first response time: 2m 27s (not an ai bot)

2025: Initial growth, proving Omni's broker-like model 2026: RWA perps and swaps, bringing TradFi liquidity on-chain 2027: Variational Pro for options, structured products, and other OTC derivatives, bringing institutional trading on-chain

Pro (options, structured products, institutional OTC derivatives) will be one of our main areas of focus in 2027. It's already where I spend a good chunk of my time.

Impressive execution by the Variational team. Blockworks data everywhere

🎤 @XRPSEOUL 2026 Highlights | Fireside Chat "The Next Wave of Onchain Innovation" Leaders from Robinhood and Variational discuss the next wave of onchain innovation and how global platforms are bringing it to users. 🗣Speakers: • Johann Kerbrat (@JohannKerbrat), SVP and General Manager at @RobinhoodApp • Justin Bram (@JustinCBram), Head of Product at @variational_io 🔎 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Expanding Assets & 24/7 Market Access While currently offering perpetuals for 8 crypto assets, Robinhood plans to expand into commodities like gold, silver, and oil. Anticipating further regulatory clarity, the platform announced 24/7 stock trading this week to capture immense off-hours demand. 2️⃣ Frictionless Retail Onboarding By integrating directly with DeFi lending protocols, Robinhood enables its millions of funded users to access on-chain yields and tokenized equities without needing to manage private keys or seed phrases, seamlessly bridging traditional brokerage users to onchain finance. 3️⃣ Democratizing Private Equity The next major frontier for tokenization is private equity. Tokenizing private equity and closed-end funds will provide everyday users access to wealth-generating opportunities historically reserved for institutions. 💡 The Takeaway Robinhood uses blockchain to upgrade traditional finance. By enabling instant settlement, 24/7 liquidity for equities and commodities, and private equity tokenization, it democratizes retail access. Hosted by @XRPLKorea

32% of @variational_io's total supply is being targeted for the airdrop -- even more than @HyperliquidX and @Lighter_xyz. @JustinCBram : “We wanted to make sure that our users were getting the biggest airdrop as a percentage, I think, in crypto history.” “So we’re targeting a 32% airdrop of the total supply proportional to points holders.” “We definitely wanna grow our user base and continue rewarding our existing users.”

NEW EPISODE - Is @variational_io the Next Hyperliquid? Variational isn’t trying to be another perp exchange. Lucas Schuermann (@variational_lvs) & @JustinCBram break down its broker model, how it taps into TradFi liquidity, why swaps could be a better retail primitive for RWAs, and the vision for accessing thousands of global markets from one USDC balance. Plus: the 32% VAR airdrop, mobile, and the push to bring the next wave of traders onchain.

A year and a half ago, we launched Omni to bring broker-style trading on-chain. Back then, we got excited about hitting $1M in daily volume. As we relentlessly iterated on our product with UI redesigns, spread improvements, new order types, and more listings, our user base grew exponentially. Eventually, we started seeing $10M, $100M, $500M, $1B+ days. Now, Omni is one of the largest on-chain trading venues by any metric: $3B+ in daily volume and nearly $2B in open interest. More than half of the platform's activity is in non-crypto markets. That rapid growth is driven primarily by swaps, our new instrument bringing TradFi liquidity on-chain. Omni was (and continues to be) shaped by the feedback of traders. Hyperliquid proved that if you do right by your community, they will do right by you. That's why 32% of $VAR is going to Variational traders at TGE, fully unlocked. No external market makers on Omni, and no points for OLP. 100% of the allocation goes to real users. We have so much left to build: trading API, 24/7 swaps liquidity, spread rebates, OLP deposits, spot markets, and Pro for options. TGE will be just the start of our journey to make Variational the best place for retail and institutions to trade any global market on-chain. I'm excited to share more about our upcoming partnerships. For now I'll just say that the wait will be worth it. See you in Q4.

32 percent @notthreadguy

32% of $VAR will be airdropped to traders, fully unlocked. Following Hyperliquid’s success, we want to do right by our community. That’s why we’ve planned one of the biggest airdrops ever. There’s a lot we haven’t shared yet. time to dream bigger

This will be a fun one! see you guys on the show Please drop any product q’s below, we’ll try to get to the top rated asks

Variational has crossed $3B in daily trading volume for the first time. More than half of this volume is on swap markets.
