Spot trading, which allows assets to be traded at current market prices without expiration dates, is particularly popular among day traders due to its low spreads and simplicity.
Arkham also plans to integrate on-chain audits and traceable proof-of-reserves into its exchange, aligning with its focus on transparency and user confidence.
The addition of spot trading is seen as a move to attract both retail and institutional traders seeking a seamless blend of trading capabilities and blockchain intelligence.
Arkham has not disclosed the platform’s official launch date. The feature will not immediately be available to U.S.-based users.
Arkham clarified that onboarding in the United States will be restricted until the exchange obtains legal approval in individual states and jurisdictions.

The company emphasized that compliance with local regulations is central to its expansion strategy.
Arkham, founded in 2020, has built a reputation for its blockchain intelligence tools, helping users identify entities and individuals behind crypto market activities.
Its investors include notable names such as Bedrock, Draper Associates, Binance Labs, and Sam Altman.

These initiatives position Arkham to compete with major exchanges like Binance, Crypto.com, and Coinbase, which, according to The Block’s Data Dashboard, dominate over 80% of USD-supported spot trading volumes.
The firm’s CEO, Miguel Morel, previously indicated that Arkham would monetize its platform without charging for its core blockchain search tools.
This strategy aligns with the company’s broader mission to merge trading and analytics, offering users a streamlined experience.
Arkham has also announced a points program. Traders earn points by participating in spot crypto and perpetual futures trading.
The program will run for 30 days, and the points can be converted into Arkham’s native token, ARKM.
