Key takeaways:
Sphinx partners with Truflation to introduce perpetual swaps for commodities like lithium and renewable energy credits.
The partnership combines Sphinx's trading platform with Truflation's data indices for real-time price insights.
The collaboration aims to fuel growth in derivatives trading for in-demand assets in the EV and renewable energy sectors.
Partnership unlocks perpetual trading of RWAs
Truflation, a leading provider of real-time data for real-world assets (RWAs), has announced a strategic partnership with Sphinx, a blockchain-based derivatives trading platform. Together, the two companies will introduce perpetual swaps and other financial products for a range of key modern commodities, leveraging Truflation’s advanced data infrastructure.
The collaboration comes at a time when interest in commodities such as lithium, silicon, and renewable energy credits is growing, driven by the global shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy. By integrating Truflation’s data with Sphinx’s trading infrastructure, users will gain access to more precise and dynamic market insights, improving the potential for trading efficiency and profitability.
Stefan Rust, CEO of Truflation, highlighted the significance of their data indices in the evolving landscape of modern commodities:
“Truflation has been leading the way developing cutting edge indices such as the Truflation EV Index, which tracks the prices of key commodities, providing key insights into production and supply dynamics of the EV market, and a reliable benchmark for tracking essential component price movements.”
Expanding opportunities in the energy market
For Sphinx, the partnership represents a significant step forward in broadening the scope of its derivatives offerings. The company aims to introduce perpetual swaps and other derivatives trading products for a wider range of assets. According to Greg Perrin, CEO of Sphinx, "Our partnership with Truflation will enable Sphinx to offer derivatives trading for a broad set of in-demand assets to propel the energy industry forward."
Perrin emphasized the advantages of combining Truflation’s real-time data with Sphinx’s trading solutions, noting that it creates new opportunities for both speculators and hedgers in the commodity markets.
To further engage with their communities, the two companies will host a live AMA on X (formerly Twitter) on October 9th, offering participants a chance to explore the partnership and its future potential in greater detail.
It's worth noting that the Truflation platform relatively recently launched its own token, TRUF. Unfortunately, the market hasn't been very kind to the token – since its launch in April, the price has decreased by more than 60%. However, the new partnership could renew investors' interest in the token going forward.
