GM dYdX enjoyooors!! Raphael from StableLab here. We recently joined governance and want to help dYdX scale sustainably! Please excuse us, there was an oversight in our prior post. Axelar supports the bridging of BNB and WBNB to axlBNB on Osmosis, and from there on, assets could be moved to dYdX. BNB/USD is among the highest-volume perp markets and could be a great addition to dYdX markets. ### One-line Summary Add BNB-USD to the dYdX Chain. ### Abstract dYdX is the premier decentralized perpetual futures exchange. It needs to add markets at a brisk pace to remain in the top spot. BNB is among the top contenders. ### Motivation and Rationale BNB has more than $2bn of 24-hour trading volume on the top 5 exchanges and is among the top 20 perpetual markets on CMC. [Cryptocurrency Derivatives and Perpetual Swap Markets | CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/derivatives/) Adding this pair to dYdX would likely open up a portion of this volume to be traded here. ### Risk To set the appropriate risk parameters we would defer to @chaoslabs. ​​ ​​ ---

# Overview Chaos Labs supports the addition of BNB-USD to the dYdX Chain. ### BNB Background BNB is the cryptocurrency that powers the BNB Chain ecosystem from Binance. ### Market Data - 24-Hour Trading Volume (CoinGecko) - **$941,078,858** ![bnb_vols](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/dydx/original/2X/1/193d1da9bd29c2ed0d37acfa8af66328d725fd4f.png) - Market Cap (CoinGecko) - **$45,138,488,625** ![bnb_mc](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/dydx/original/2X/c/cc8c9243eea08965486f4ddc0b3273dc69fd33d3.png) - 2% Spot Liquidity - $1,990,000 - Token List Date - 15 September 2017 ### Oracle Sources BNB has established oracle sources including Binance, Bybit, Gate, Kucoin, OKX and MEXC. # Liquidity Tier Recommendation BNB fulfills the requirements for a Mid-Cap asset as defined in the dYdX v4 [documentation](https://docs.dydx.trade/governance/functionalities#liquidity-tiers), and therefore, we suggest categorizing it under liquidity tier 1. ---
