Blum was recently featured in Decrypt's Deep Dives spotlighting the growing accessibility of perpetual futures ("perps") across leading crypto platforms like Blum, MetaMask, and Phantom.
The article explores how perps trading, once limited to centralized exchanges, is now going mainstream, thanks to the rise of decentralized trading alternatives and a new regulatory environment. According to Decrypt, the market has seen over $1.27 trillion in perps volume in the past 30 days, reflecting the growing appetite for perps trading.
As highlighted in the piece, Blum offers up to 100x leverage directly inside Telegram, combining a simplified interface with access to multiple popular crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). Co-founder & CEO Gleb Kostarev emphasized the importance of education, noting that many new traders don't fully understand concepts such as auto-deleveraging and liquidation, fundamental mechanics for exchanges that offer perps.
"It's really important for them to understand that, and we need to educate them more," Kostarev told Decrypt.
Blum's approach focuses on user-friendly design and community education rather than high barriers to entry, targeting all retail traders who are discovering perps trading tools. That's why Blum is investing a lot of time in putting educational content across its community channels.
In his interview with Decrypt, Blum Co-Founder & CEO Gleb Kostarev explained that Blum's high leverage is meant to empower retail traders seeking more flexible opportunities on Telegram. This philosophy reflects Blum's broader mission: democratizing access to advanced trading tools for users in developing markets. Many of Blum's traders come from developing countries where Telegram has become both a social and financial hub. By integrating perps directly into chat, Blum allows anyone with a Telegram account to open positions, manage risk, and do all without navigating complex interfaces.
The rise of Perp Decentralized Exchanges (DEXes), including Blum, marks a turning point for crypto. What was once the domain of professional traders from Centralized Exchanges (CEXes) is now being reimagined for everyone, directly within tools people already use every day.
As the article noted, the real challenge isn't just providing access to perps, but ensuring that users understand how they work. That's where Blum's combination of simplicity, education, and social experience makes a difference. By bringing high-performance trading directly into Telegram, Blum is lowering the barrier for millions of retail users to explore decentralized finance safely and confidently.
For Blum, it's not just about offering 100× leverage or faster execution. It's about making advanced trading human, intuitive, and empowering, turning Telegram from a chat app into the world's most accessible trading ecosystem.
