Ethereum layer-2 network RISE has launched RISE Markets and RISEx, rebranding itself as a 'foundation of global on-chain markets.' The initiative includes RISE MarketCore, a shared orderbook infrastructure, and RISEx, an on-chain perpetuals decentralized exchange (DEX). This move aims to strengthen RISE's position in decentralized finance (DeFi). To bolster its new offerings, RISE has acquired BSX Labs, a perpetual DEX on the Base network. RISEx is set to enter a closed mainnet phase this quarter, with a public launch anticipated in early 2026, marking a significant step in RISE's strategic expansion.
