dYdX Labs' Pocket Pro Bot Integration Brings Derivatives to Social Trading

$100,000 trading competition to begin on October 1 to commemorate the integration

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- dYdX Labs, the team behind DeFi's pro trading platform, dYdX, today announced a new integration with Pocket Pro Bot, the company's recently acquired social-first trading platform built on Telegram enabling traders to access dYdX's deep liquidity and derivatives markets directly within the Telegram app, allowing trades to be executed through intuitive commands or buttons without leaving the interface. The integration sits on the forefront of a growing trend of socialized trading experiences, allowing traders, friends, and competitors to execute and share trades in real time with their peers.

With more than 50,000 users and over $1 billion in peak annualized trading volume, Pocket Protector has quickly established itself as one of the most vibrant platforms for social trading. By embedding dYdX trading directly into Telegram via the Pocket Pro Bot, the integration makes perpetuals trading more accessible, mobile-friendly, and community-driven. For the first time, the Bot will also allow dYdX users to trade directly across on-chain Solana DEXs and launchpads, efficiently routing trades for optimized execution, instantly swapping between spot and perpetual assets.

"Derivatives trading, especially in a decentralized environment can be a complicated process that prevents many from taking advantage of crypto's leading trade vehicle," said Eddie Zhang, President dYdX Labs and Co-Founder of Pocket Protector. "By bringing dYdX into Telegram through our Pocket Pro Bot, we're making it possible for traders to connect, trade, and celebrate wins together, right where they already spend their time. This integration makes trading more accessible and simplifies the experience for both new and experienced traders. Our industry needs more simplicity, and this is a step in that direction."

Now live, the integration allows users to:

• Add the trading bot into group chats, turning Telegram communities into live trading floors complete with position cards, alerts, and leaderboards.
• Execute perpetual and spot trades directly in Telegram using shortcut commands such as "/Long" and "/Short" specific assets.
• Instantly create unique wallets with no apps or extensions required.
• Deposit USDC and SOL on Solana and Arbitrum, with support for additional assets to come at a later date.

Coinciding with the launch, dYdX Labs will host a $100,000 trading competition beginning Wednesday, October 1 and concluding October 31. The prize pool will be separated into two competitions, Individual and Squad, further promoting the socialized trade aspect brought forward by Pocket Pro Bot. A live leaderboard will be available to track competition status.

Traders interested in getting started can add the Pocket Pro Bot to their Telegram accounts today, fund their wallets, and make their first trade, all in a matter of minutes.
