Big Moves from @dYdX
dYdX just made its first-ever acquisition. And it’s a big one.
They’ve acquired Pocket Protector, a fast-growing crypto social trading platform, to supercharge their expansion into social and user-driven trading.
What’s the play here?
→ Pocket Protector had 50K users, $1B+ in annualized volume, and a Telegram-native product that let users follow top traders and trade with friends.
→ Now its co-founders, Eddie Zhang (ex-Meta, Fam) and Kaiser Kinbote (OG crypto growth brain), are stepping in as President and Head of Growth at dYdX.
This isn’t just about features. It’s a strategic bet on scaling culture, product, and leadership fast.
And with $DYDX now powering gasless trades, governance, and incentives on its own L1 appchain… this move is how you build for real adoption.
