Maxana: I'm really excited to tell you more about one of my favorite products in crypto right now, DYDX. This is a team he's known since 2018, and they've built one of the best exchange venues out there that also happens to be decentralized and mobile-friendly. He says it processes $2-3 billion every day in volume and has 35 perpetual swaps. Maxana: You can get started with as low as $500 in equity to compete for prizes.
