Leveraging Perpetual Futures for Pricing Power: The bStocks Strategy

The bStocks model aims to establish pricing power over underlying assets by utilizing perpetual futures, 24/7 trading, and decentralized market makers rather than competing directly with traditional exchanges like Nasdaq. By leveraging on-chain inventory and perpetual futures for price discovery, the strategy seeks to absorb market inefficiencies. The approach draws historical parallels to the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), which standardized grain trading to create unified market pricing.
