ABCDE: Why we invested in Perena
Original source: ABCDE
TLDR
The stablecoin market is growing at an astonishing rate, but it also faces the problems of centralization and decentralized liquidity; Perena is systematically building key infrastructure for stablecoins to help stablecoins move from innovation in encryption technology to mainstream financial applications; the Perena team has been deeply involved in stablecoins for many years and has first-class product capabilities and rich corporate resources; Perena is committed to building a more usable, liquid and profitable stablecoin infrastructure to promote the large-scale popularization of stablecoin applications in the future.
Stablecoin Market
2024 can be said to be the year of the outbreak of stablecoins. According to DefiLlama data, the total market value of stablecoins has exceeded 200 billion US dollars, of which USDT has hit a record high of 139 billion US dollars, and the market value of USDC issued by Circle has reached 41 billion US dollars. The continued growth of the market is not accidental. We believe that there are two main driving forces behind this: 1. Institutional application scenarios of stablecoins, such as large-scale remittances and payments; 2. As a financial instrument that can generate income, stablecoins show unique value potential. This trend makes us more convinced that stablecoins will play an increasingly important role in the future and also put forward higher requirements for infrastructure. 
Source: DefiLlama The battle of stablecoins: new digital currencies are on the rise In fact, the prosperity of the stablecoin market has been brewing for many years. From BUSD (Binance Dollar), PYUSD (PayPal Dollar) to the recently launched RLUSD (Liquidity's yield-based stablecoin), more and more institutions are issuing their own stablecoins. As mentioned above, stablecoins are not just simple payment currencies, they are becoming "the new currency of the digital world", injecting unprecedented liquidity into the crypto market.
But as more and more institutions issue different types of stablecoins, we see a clear liquidity split. At present, we urgently need a strong infrastructure to support its exchange and provide liquidity.
"The biggest problem in the current stablecoin market is that we have many stablecoins, but there is no unified infrastructure to collaborate efficiently. Perena is filling the missing link." Perena co-founder Anna said.
Perena has built a powerful stablecoin platform to manage stablecoin liquidity, manage risk, and integrate new programmable money.
Numéraire: Perena’s first product
In addition to the huge potential of the market, a key reason for our investment in Perena is the team’s strong execution. In just a few months, Perena has launched its first product, Numéraire, a multi-asset stablecoin swap protocol. The core feature of the platform is the multi-stablecoin liquidity pool, which further improves the capital efficiency and liquidity of the stablecoin market by aggregating multiple stablecoins into a fungible, liquid token such as USD*. USD* is essentially a LP token (and a stablecoin itself) of a stable pool composed of a basket of stablecoins, including Tether, Circle, and PayPal USD in the AMM pool. Users can experience smooth stablecoin exchanges on Numéraire, or become liquidity providers (LPs) to earn returns; for stablecoin issuers, a basket of stablecoin pools further solves the problem of stablecoin liquidity fragmentation in the market while reducing issuance risks.
This comprehensive and innovative design solves the current systemic problems of stablecoins and lays the foundation for the future trillion-dollar decentralized financial system.

Team Introduction
Behind the success of a product, there is an excellent team. We believe that an excellent entrepreneur needs to have ambition, clear goals, and fast execution. And Anna is undoubtedly the best candidate to develop stablecoin products. As the co-founder of Perena, Anna served as the head of stablecoins at Solana, helping to double the issuance of stablecoins on Solana to $3.6 billion, while promoting the native issuance of multiple non-USD stablecoins. Her industry experience and keen insights have earned her recognition from many heavyweight supporters, including Solana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal. We believe that under her leadership, the Perena team will be able to promote continuous innovation in stablecoin infrastructure and lead the future development of the industry.
Written in the end…
The regulatory environment in the United States will become clearer after Trump takes office, and traditional financial giants (such as Goldman Sachs) will also enter the market. The stablecoin market may double to $400 billion in 2025.
This not only proves the huge potential of the market, but also makes us more confident in Perena's future.
We firmly believe that 2025 will be a year for stablecoins to shine, and it will also be a new year for Perena to set sail and lead the trend.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
