Many of you told us that spreads and execution were unpredictable or difficult to understand, and that our fee structure was confusing. We've completely reimagined how fees work on Ostium:
- True Market Spreads: We now offer top-of-book bid/ask pricing directly from the underlying market – no markup and no reliance on on-chain DEX liquidity. This means you actually get underlying market execution while staying on-chain.
- Industry-Leading Fees: As low as 2bps total to open and close positions on FX pairs, making Ostium the most cost-effective platform for sophisticated traders.
- Optimized Funding: Dramatically lower funding/rollover fees based on volatility, often just 3-5% on FX pairs compared to industry standards.
We've significantly expanded our asset offerings to give you more trading opportunities:
- Global Indices: Trade FTSE (U.K.), DAX (Germany), and Nikkei (Japan) directly from your wallet
- US Indices: Full access to S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones
- New FX Pairs: USD/CAD and USD/MXN for traders following tariff developments
Our smart contract updates deliver the flexibility you've been asking for:
- Partial Position Closing: Gradually take profits or cut losses with partial closes
- Dynamic Collateral Management: Add or remove collateral to adjust your leverage as market conditions change
- Off-Hours Order Setting: Place limit orders even when markets are closed (FX/indices/commodities)
- Intuitive Position Sizing: Size positions in asset units with fee accounting baked in
Getting started and funded on Ostium is now easier than ever:
- Multiple Sign-In Options: Use Privy for email or social sign-in while maintaining full wallet support
- Cross-Chain Deposits: Deposit any asset from any chain without ever leaving the Ostium interface
- Exchange Integration: Transfer funds directly from Coinbase, Binance, or Bitfinex with our integrated flow
- Credit Card Support: Instantly fund your account using your credit card

Trading on Ostium is now frictionless:
- Smart Account Delegation: Stay in your primary wallet and delegate signing to a smart account
- No More Popups: Say goodbye to constant MetaMask approval prompts
- Zero Gas Fees: We now sponsor all gas fees for users who sign in with Privy or enable 1-Click Trading
We've refined every aspect of the Ostium experience:
