Singapore, Singapore, November 11th, 2025/Chainwire/--BSX Labs, backed by Blockchain Capital and Coinbase Ventures, brings expertise from supporting over $15B in orderbook trading volume. The team will help RISE develop EVM-based synchronously composable orderbook primitives that will bridge traditional financial markets. BSX Labs BSX Labs RISE today announced its acquisition of BSX Labs, the team behind the BSX perpetuals exchange on the Base network. RISE RISE The BSX team’s experience in designing and operating a hybrid orderbook trading system positions RISE to accelerate innovation in fully onchain orderbook products, a core use case of RISE’s high-speed Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain. This collaboration will deliver Integrated Orderbook Primitives that benefit from synchronous composability with other DeFi applications, higher speed and throughput, and increased compatibility between blockchain and traditional financial markets, opening new opportunities for both retail and institutional users as well as app developers. "The BSX team built an impressive trading engine that attracted significant volume and a loyal user base," said Sam Battenally, CEO of RISE. "Integrating their technology and talent is a key strategic step for us. It accelerates our roadmap towards launching a native, best-in-class orderbook infrastructure on RISE.” "The BSX team built an impressive trading engine that attracted significant volume and a loyal user base," said Sam Battenally, CEO of RISE. "Integrating their technology and talent is a key strategic step for us. It accelerates our roadmap towards launching a native, best-in-class orderbook infrastructure on RISE.” The market is yet to see fully composable orderbooks onchain and at scale. Existing solutions are either fragmented with custom execution, or the underlying chain cannot support such scale. With the immense forecasted growth of stablecoins and tokenization, RISE, together with the BSX team, is taking an opinionated bet that integrated perps and spot orderbooks will be the preferred infrastructure for brokers, asset issuers and retail traders. With Integrated Orderbooks, retail brokers get access to deep liquidity, asset issuers can list spot and perps instruments for their assets; and users get access to the best execution, new assets and net-new DeFi yield opportunities. BSX launched in 2023 and processed over $15B in cumulative trading volume. The acquisition will provide a path forward for BSX token holders, who will be eligible for an airdrop of RISE’s upcoming native token, with 1.5% of the RISE token total supply allocated to BSX tokens currently in circulation in the market. "Joining RISE is an incredible opportunity for our team and our community," said Avi, CEO of BSX Labs. "We share a vision for a more performant and transparent onchain trading future. With the resources and ecosystem of RISE, we can now build that future at a much larger scale." "Joining RISE is an incredible opportunity for our team and our community," said Avi, CEO of BSX Labs.
