RISE and BSX Connect DeFi and Traditional Finance through the First Unified Orderbooks

RISE, a high-speed

Layer 2 network, has purchased BSX Labs—the creators of the decentralized perpetuals platform BSX on Base—to speed up the creation of the first fully integrated onchain orderbooks, according to LiveBitcoinNews. Announced on November 11, 2025, this deal is designed to connect traditional finance with blockchain by utilizing BSX’s knowledge in hybrid orderbook trading. Since its 2023 debut, BSX has handled more than $15 billion in trades and will now help RISE build synchronously composable orderbook primitives that work with both DeFi and conventional financial systems, as reported by DailyHodl.

By bringing BSX’s technology and team onboard, RISE is set to accelerate its plans for launching a top-tier native orderbook system. RISE CEO Sam Battenally highlighted that BSX’s “powerful trading engine” attracted significant trading activity and a dedicated community, making the acquisition a key move toward delivering centralized exchange-level performance onchain, LiveBitcoinNews notes. The partnership aims to introduce Integrated Orderbook Primitives that support seamless composability with DeFi protocols, greater transaction capacity, and deeper liquidity for both retail and institutional participants.

RISE points out that the market still lacks scalable, fully composable orderbooks. Existing options are either split across platforms or limited by blockchain throughput. With stablecoins and tokenized assets expected to expand, RISE and BSX believe that unified perpetual and spot orderbooks will become the go-to infrastructure for brokers, asset issuers, and everyday traders, according to DailyHodl. For instance, Standard Chartered’s recent launch of a credit card in Singapore that lets users spend stablecoins at physical stores illustrates the rising need for smooth digital asset integration.

Holders of BSX tokens will be eligible for an airdrop of RISE’s upcoming native token, with 1.5% of the total RISE supply set aside for circulating BSX tokens. Avi, CEO of BSX Labs, described the collaboration as an “exceptional chance” to expand their vision for transparent onchain trading, LiveBitcoinNews reports. The BSX decentralized exchange will be phased out over a structured one-week period starting November 11, 2025, at 15:00 UTC, with users advised to check the BSX blog for withdrawal details, DailyHodl adds.

This acquisition highlights a broader movement toward institutional-grade blockchain solutions. For example, Standard Chartered’s DeCard initiative with DCS Card Centre in Singapore shows how established banks are embracing DeFi to enable stablecoin payments. Likewise, Uniswap’s recent UNIfication proposal—which introduces protocol fees and token burns to create a deflationary system—demonstrates the industry’s focus on sustainable governance and value creation, according to DailyHodl.

As RISE and BSX move forward with their integrated orderbook platform, this development could transform liquidity options for both asset issuers and traders. With the Ethereum ecosystem increasingly focused on scalability and interoperability, the achievements of projects like RISE’s Integrated Orderbooks could set new standards for onchain finance.
