What is Rails (RAILS)

Unlisted

Rails is a fully regulated crypto derivatives & trading infrastructure company. The platform serves as the compliant backend that fintechs, brokerages, and institutions plug into to offer crypto derivatives, without building it themselves. It provides the regulatory foundation, the execution layer, and the liquidity all through a single integration.

The platform is built on three pillars:

1. Regulatory Compliance: Rails, a fully regulated company (CIMA-registered, NFA-pending), is KYC/KYB compliant.
2. Institutional-Grade Execution: Hybrid architecture delivers sub-millisecond trade execution through a centralized order matching engine, while on-chain custody keeps user funds decentralized. 3)Trader Education: The Rails Play platform is where traders can learn how to trade crypto perpetuals and earn a funded account through low-fee evaluations.

In Q2 2026, Rails will be deploying institutional-grade vaults on the Stellar blockchain to provide the deep liquidity necessary to scale with institutional adoption. Options Trading is also on the product roadmap for Q2 to expand our product suite.

Rails has raised over $20 Million in total, including a $14 Million raise in 2025, and is backed by investors such as Kraken, Slow Ventures, and CMCC Global.

About the Rails token

RAILS serves as the utility and coordination mechanism for the Rails ecosystem. It’s design which employs the following mechanisms which align real platform usage with long-term ecosystem sustainability:

• Fee Discounts: Token holders receive tiered reductions on trading fees and settlement costs across Rails and integrated partner platforms. Discount tiers scale with holdings, providing material savings for active traders.

• Rails Play Benefits: Token holders access discounted evaluation purchases and enhanced rewards on Rails Play, the platform's trader education and development system.

• Priority Access: Early access to new product launches, partner integrations, and platform features before general availability. As Rails announces institutional partnerships and deploys new products, token holders gain first access.

• Partner Platform Benefits: As institutional partners integrate Rails, token utility extends to partner platforms. Users trading on integrated venues benefit from fee discounts and enhanced features across the network.
