Everything, a new derivatives platform, closed a $6.9 million investment round to simplify access to perpetual futures for retail traders. The round was led by Humanity Capital and included Animoca Brands and Jamie Rogozinski, founder of WallStreetBets.
Everything’s funding round was announced on January 26th and led by Humanity Capital. It also attracted other investors such as Animaco Brands and Rogozinski. The company’s founders have experience at other firms like KuCoin, Alibaba, and Tencent, demonstrating expertise in both operations and product management.
Everything offers an interface where users can trade P&Ps simply and effectively. They will also be able to trade stocks and commodities through a single layer of custody. The company also offers very high nominal amplification, up to 1000x leverage, positioning it well above other similar platforms.
The key to proper leverage for Everything
One of the keys to Everything’s success is the leverage it offers, as this increases both rewards and liquidation risk. However, one of the goals of creating this platform is to limit account abuse and have the backing to comply, while the product gains traction among users.
This layer of identity could reduce money laundering and leverage abuse, but it doesn’t eliminate the core market risk associated with perpetual futures.
Some of the problems Everything will face are that perpetual futures lack a single global regulator and often fall under disputed definitions between securities and commodity regimes. This means it will likely be investigated by the SEC and the CFTC.
For traders and risk managers, the product promises simplicity and extreme leverage, which could compress execution latency and hedging but also magnify margin events and mass liquidations.
Investors and market participants will now watch the regulatory responses and the rollout of the platform’s risk management as the practical test of the thesis. How Everything handles open interest, funding rate dynamics, and forced liquidations when incorporating retail flow will determine whether it alters the market structure of peers or simply amplifies existing vulnerabilities.
