Pyth Network news today centers on fresh usage data: the oracle provider priced most of October's tokenized real-world asset (RWA) perpetual volume. PYTH traded at $0.06865 in the latest market snapshot, up 5.91% over 24 hours.
Record October RWA perpetual volume
October brought a record for RWA perpetuals priced by Pyth, with $829.4 billion in trading volume, a 29% increase from September. Open interest reached $14.6 billion, a new high. Pyth's share of that activity was substantial, as Pyth priced an impressive 88.5% of these trades.
Stock perpetuals and after-hours trading
Pyth also amplified commentary on US equity trading patterns. A widely shared post it retweeted discussed the peculiarities of stock trading volume, particularly while the NYSE is offline. The post's underlying claim is that roughly half of stock trades happen outside regular hours, which the network is presenting as relevant to crypto market behavior. Traders are still evaluating what the observation means for crypto markets, and the claim itself is the original poster's and has not been independently verified.
Exchange access
Binance has restored Solana-network withdrawals that include PYTH, according to CoinGecko's news feed. The move eases withdrawal constraints for holders on that network.
