The analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has refuted rumours regarding the closure of its trading platform. Instead of liquidation, the company is transforming the platform into a fully decentralized exchange<\/a>. This was reported to Cointelegraph<\/a> by Arkham’s CEO, Miguel Morel.<\/p>\n

Earlier, media outlets circulated<\/a> information about the company’s plans to wind down its business due to low liquidity. Morel clarified that it is a change of model, not a complete market exit.<\/p>\n

“Centralized giants have become bloated and unresponsive to user demands. They have turned into a worse version of traditional finance, which they promised to improve,” stated the company’s head.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Morel, decentralized trading benefits from speed, low fees, and the ability to self-custody assets.<\/p>\n

The company announced<\/a> the launch of a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange in 2024. In 2025, the platform opened<\/a> spot trading in several US states, and in December, it released<\/a> a mobile application. In November 2025, Arkham integrated<\/a> the MoonPay service for purchasing cryptocurrencies with bank cards.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the daily trading volume on Arkham Exchange is $704,225.<\/p>\n
