📢LATEST: Solana Labs Launches Leap. Bringing Derivatives Trading and Tokenized Stocks to Mobile
@solana has officially opened early access to Leap, a mobile trading app designed to turn smartphones into a direct gateway to the entire onchain asset infrastructure of the Solana ecosystem.
@leapxyz is positioned as a high-performance mobile trading platform focused on promoting disciplined investing among retail traders. It allows users to track charts, access macro market analysis, and manage their portfolios with comprehensive P&L tracking, all from their smartphones.
The app supports trading across a wide range of asset classes, including tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, forex, crypto, and memecoins, bringing Solana closer to its vision of becoming a global settlement network for all types of assets.
Once its fee mechanism goes live, Leap plans to allocate a portion of its trading fee revenue toward buying back and directly burning solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 tokens on the open market, creating tangible value accrual and deflationary pressure for the network.
Solana is going all in this time. Rather than positioning itself solely as infrastructure for Internet Money, it's building an actual trading app to compete with the likes of Hyperliquid, Lighter, and potentially even CEXs.
But here's the other side of the story: Solana is also competing with its own ecosystem dApps, including Jupiter, Drift, and Phoenix. Will developers still be confident building products on Solana when the underlying chain itself could become a direct competitor?
