Unlocking 24/7 commodity markets with onchain efficiency
Unlocking 24/7 commodity markets with onchain efficiency originally appeared on TheStreet. Commodity derivatives are central to global markets, but the systems that support them are still built for yesterday's world. Exchanges like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) dominate a $20T global commodity derivatives market. Despite their scale, both continue to operate around fixed trading hours, rely on T+1 or T+2 settlement cycles, and silo margin across asset classes. These structural constraints slow down capital movement, limit responsiveness, and increase costs, particularly during periods of volatility. When the Keystone Pipeline in the US ruptured in April 2025, crude markets moved immediately. Most desks couldn't. Locked into legacy infrastructure, traders were forced to wait for markets to reopen, missing critical hedging windows. The problem isn't just timing, it's structural. High-frequency strategies face compounded drag: clearing fees as high as $24 per million notional, capital fragmented across asset classes, and multi-day clearing cycles that delay liquidity reuse. Traditional exchanges are still designed around intermediaries, rollovers, and batch processing, even with electronic access. Sphinx addresses this directly. It's a new infrastructure layer built for commodity traders who need continuous access, real-time clearing, unified margining, and lower execution costs, all within a regulated environment. The technology matters, but only because it enables something traders haven't had: a faster, cheaper, always-on venue. For firms trading across energy, metals, and agriculture, speed and capital efficiency matter more than protocol semantics. Sphinx is designed to deliver both. Built to support high-frequency execution and cross-asset risk management, the system offers the kind of infrastructure performance usually reserved for tier-one financial venues. Sphinx supports sub-100-ms latency and throughput exceeding 10,000 transactions per second. It integrates directly with FIX and OEMS pipelines, ensuring compatibility with existing trading infrastructure. No custom middleware. No fragmented interfaces. It also eliminates rollover costs by replacing expiring futures with perpetual swap instruments, contracts that mirror spot markets and adjust continuously via dynamic funding rates. This allows traders to maintain uninterrupted exposure without rebalancing every quarter. The architecture is modular and interoperable by design. It's built on the Cosmos SDK with IBC support to allow future cross-chain connectivity, but those are backend details. What matters is the outcome: trades clear faster, margin moves dynamically, and strategy deployment isn't bottlenecked by system constraints. Sphinx isn't the venue, it's the base layer. GCX, the first exchange built on Sphinx, runs as a regulated execution platform, inheriting the infrastructure benefits while operating under its compliance framework. Sphinx is optimized for how modern commodity markets move. Price dislocations don't wait for New York or London to open, and neither should the systems traders rely on to manage them. Sphinx introduces several key innovations that directly address capital velocity, execution latency, and collateral efficiency. Legacy exchanges operate on fixed schedules. Sphinx enables continuous access to global markets, with no session windows, no rollover gaps. Whether the move happens overnight or midweek in Asia, traders can execute and adjust exposure immediately. Traditional clearinghouses settle on T+1 or T+2 cycles, delaying liquidity reuse. Sphinx uses smart contracts to finalize trades in under 60 seconds, reducing counterparty risk and unlocking margin faster. For active desks, this shortens the capital cycle significantly. Most venues require separate collateral pools for each asset class. Sphinx introduces a single-margin framework across commodities. Positions in oil, metals, and grains are netted dynamically. Internal benchmarks show 30–50% less capital required to hold equivalent risk. Sphinx's matching engine supports institutional order flow, with latency under 100ms and throughput exceeding 10,000 TPS. Combined with FIX/OEMS integration, traders can route orders directly without custom adapters or bridges. Exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage fees add up, especially at volume. Sphinx removes intermediaries by automating settlement at the protocol layer. The estimated total cost reduction for high-frequency or large-volume users ranges between 70–90%, depending on strategy and turnover. None of these are bolt-on upgrades. They're embedded in how the system is architected, removing the constraints of legacy infrastructure and replacing them with programmable, capital-efficient alternatives. Regulatory clarity isn't a value-add; it's a prerequisite for institutional participation. Sphinx is built with this in mind. Every layer of the system, from user onboarding to settlement, is designed to align with the standards expected by banks, asset managers, and corporates operating under strict internal controls. KYC and AML are not retrofitted at the exchange level; they're enforced directly at the protocol level. Every participant is verified. Every transaction is audit-ready. The system also supports data localization and jurisdiction-specific compliance logic, enabling venues to meet local regulatory obligations without compromising global interoperability. GCX, the first exchange running on Sphinx, operates under a license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority and is in the process of securing FCA registration in the UK. This provides the foundation required for institutions to route real capital through a new infrastructure layer with full regulatory accountability. Sphinx's distinction isn't that it integrates compliance. It's that compliance is part of the base design, structured, verifiable, and built to hold up under scrutiny. Derivatives markets continue to expand, but the systems supporting them haven't kept up. In the first half of 2024, BIS reported an 18% year-over-year increase in notional volumes for commodity-linked derivatives, driven largely by derivatives also rose, while interest rate contracts held steady. Yet, nearly all of this volume still clears through legacy platforms like the CME, ICE, and Eurex, venues designed decades ago around fixed trading windows, siloed margin systems, and batch-based settlement. CME and ICE together handle over 50% of global commodity derivatives volume. Yet despite their scale, these systems introduce friction at every layer: trades settle on T+1 or T+2 cycles, margin is siloed by asset class, and true 24/7 execution remains out of reach. These limitations weren't critical when volatility followed a regional clock. But that's no longer the case. Today's traders face overnight geopolitical shocks, unpredictable supply chain events, and macro shifts that happen across time zones. Waiting for New York or London to open isn't viable risk management. Nor is locking up excess capital across five separate clearing silos to hedge a cross-commodity portfolio. Cost pressures compound the issue. Exchange fees, brokerage spreads, and capital inefficiency add up, especially for desks executing at scale. A trading firm holding diversified commodity exposures on traditional venues can spend 3–4x more on margin and clearing than on a system that supports cross-asset netting and real-time settlement. Institutional behavior is already adjusting. Crypto-native trading firms and funds like Brevan Howard Digital, Jump, and GSR are exploring programmable infrastructure, not as a speculative bet, but as a way to trade faster, cheaper, and more globally. What they're pursuing isn't decentralization, it's an edge. Sphinx enters this moment with infrastructure that speaks directly to that need. Faster clearing. Unified margin. Execution that doesn't wait for a session to open. Greg Perrin, Co-Founder and CEO, is a distributed systems engineer with a background in energy, blockchain, and industrial IoT. Before Sphinx, he was CTO at TypeX, where he built flared-gas-powered mining infrastructure and led on-grid expansion to over 250MW. Shevaan Jayasinghe, Co-Founder and product lead, brings a decade of experience across institutional finance and digital asset infrastructure. At Goldman Sachs in London, he worked across analytics, equity financing, and business development. He later joined where he helped develop institutional-grade custody and prime brokerage tools for digital assets. Austin Durgee, Co-Founder and CMO, has led funding campaigns for crypto and startup projects, securing over $16M while building strong developer and investor relationships. He later joined TypeX, focusing on strategic marketing and sales in the Bitcoin mining and energy space. Now at Sphinx, Austin drives the go-to-market strategy and ecosystem growth, helping shape the next generation of decentralized infrastructure for energy and commodities trading. Most trading infrastructure wasn't built for the speed or complexity of today's commodity markets. Execution still follows outdated clearing windows, and capital is too often locked behind static margin requirements. Sphinx approaches this differently and you can review their infrastructure in detail here. Sphinx rethinks the mechanics of clearing, collateral, and access, not to make them digital, but to make them work in real-time. For desks managing cross-commodity exposure, the result is faster settlement, better capital deployment, and fewer operational bottlenecks, all within a regulatory framework that institutions can use.

Trump's Brazil Tariffs Risk Upending Trade From Coffee to Beef
President Donald Trump's unexpected move to threaten a 50% tariff on Brazil risks roiling global commodity markets, disrupting trade on everything from beef to coffee. The US is Brazil's second-largest trading partner, trailing only China. But while the two nations compete directly in some markets like corn and cotton, Brazil — an agricultural powerhouse — also produces tropical goods like coffee that can't be grown in the continental US.

Raw Commodities Bulls Have Been Beat Up. These 2 Major Catalysts Could Seriously Turn Things Around.
Much of the raw commodity sector has been beaten up over the past several weeks, including grains, soft commodities, and crude oil. However, veteran raw commodity market watchers are taking note of two important developments that could turn the tide more in favor of the bulls: a slumping U.S. dollar and falling U.S. Treasury yields. The U.S. Dollar Index ($DXY) on Tuesday hit a 3.5-year low and has been trending lower since mid-January. The USDX is a basket of six major world currencies weighted against the greenback. The index is a good gauge of the overall health of the U.S. economy. Most major global trade is conducted in U.S. dollars. When the greenback is depreciating, that means purchasing dollar-based commodities in non-U.S. currency is a less expensive endeavor — suggesting better demand for those dollar-based commodities, including metals, grains, energy, soft commodities, and livestock. Arabica Coffee Pressured by Beneficial Brazil Rain Cocoa Prices Plunge on Expectations of a Bigger Ghana Cocoa Crop Sugar Prices Plummet on Weak Demand and Ample Supplies Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! Importantly, trends in the currency markets tend to be stronger and longer lasting than price trends in other markets. The Dollar Index is in a six-month price downtrend, but that is by no means a mature bear market for currency. I expect a weaker U.S. dollar could be price-bullish for commodity markets for at least another year. The other element that could help pressure the U.S. Dollar Index is the upcoming BRICS meeting between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. These countries are all aiming to undermine the U.S. dollar's strength and reserve status around the globe. The BRICS summit will take place in Rio de Janeiro on July 6-7. The early July BRICS meeting will be closely monitored by the general marketplace, but especially by currency traders. The benchmark U.S. Treasury note yield this week has fallen to a two-month low of around 4.2%. Reasons for declining U.S. yields include tamer U.S. inflation reports in recent months, recent U.S. economic data that has not been overly weak but has also not been robust, and better safe-haven demand for U.S. Treasuries amid the recent geopolitical flare-up in the Middle East. Falling U.S. Treasury yields suggest the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates sooner rather than later. Currently, the market is factoring in at least two interest rate cuts by the Fed this year. The Fed's own current projections indicate two cuts. However, if Treasury yields continue on a mild downward trajectory in the coming weeks, don't be surprised to see the market factor in three rate cuts from the Fed. You can bet that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is also feeling the pressure from President Donald Trump to cut interest rates. If and when the Fed does cut interest rates, it will likely stimulate consumer demand for goods and services due to lower borrowing costs. And if the Fed is cutting interest rates, other world central banks would be more likely to do the same, and in turn stimulate better global demand for raw commodities. This scenario would mean a cyclical upturn in raw commodity market prices that would likely last at least a couple years. The scenario also suggests many currently beaten-up raw commodity markets are presently value-buying opportunities.
