According to Flood (@ThinkingUSD) on Twitter, centralized exchanges (CEXs) have yet to widely implement onchain execution through their own trading terminals, despite competitors like Photon, Axiom, and Azura gaining traction in this space (source: Twitter, May 8, 2025). For active crypto traders, this signals a significant gap in CEX offerings, potentially impacting liquidity flows and trading strategies as decentralized solutions attract more onchain volume. Traders should monitor CEX responses, as future integrations of onchain execution could shift market share and improve access to DeFi liquidity pools.

According to RootDataLabs, Azura is gaining significant attention as it climbs the RootData 24H Soaring Rankings. The company has successfully raised $6.9 million in a Seed round led by Initialized Capital. Azura is focused on developing an interfacing layer for on-chain finance, aiming to streamline and integrate various financial operations on the blockchain.
