To our users,
When we started Rails, our goal was to redefine crypto perpetuals trading: building a hybrid platform that lets users stay in full control of their funds without sacrificing speed or performance. As regulatory scrutiny increases across the industry, we’ve taken a compliance-first approach from day one to ensure Rails is built to last.
That approach is paying off. Despite implementing responsible controls like KYC verification which often slow growth, Rails has surpassed $3 billion in trade volume in just five months, even through one of the largest liquidation events in crypto history.
We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but this is just the beginning. Our strong compliance foundation has opened doors which are unique to Rails, and we’ll be finalizing several major partnerships over the coming months. As a result, we’ve made the strategic decision to move the Rails Token launch from December 2025 to February 4, 2026.
This extra time allows us to align the launch with these new integrations and partnerships, including institutional vaults and new regulatory licensing, which will directly strengthen the utility and long-term sustainability of the Rails Token. These milestones, which we’ll announce in the months ahead, form the foundation we want firmly in place before going live.
The best launches are intentional. Our mission has always been to build a token grounded in real utility, not speculation. By taking this extra time, we’re ensuring the Rails Token enters the market with clarity, momentum, and a well-understood narrative within the crypto community built on substance and real utility.
In short: this shift means a stronger launch, better-aligned incentives, and a healthier token economy for everyone involved: traders, token holders, and the broader Rails community.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We’re confident the wait will be well worth it!
