We think this is a very interesting vision to pursue and we can hardly imagine a future for dydx without such offerings from the traditional market. The only issue that arise is the problem to source settlement liquidity. To follow current dYdX standard it would require to connect to multiple liquidity providers for the asset. To this day, the major liquidity sources for dYdX assets have been crypto centralized exchanges. We may have to wait until they open the trading for SP500 and other trad-fi assets before we have a chance to list them as well in dYdX. Or maybe in a not so distant future we will be able to have settlement functionalities directly with official market places like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), which is by far the largest US derivative market place for these assets like the SP500 futures.
