In addition to standard options contracts, DWF Labs is offering bespoke options products through its “Options Concierges,” providing tailored solutions that meet specific client needs.

This custom approach underscores the firm’s focus on addressing the unique challenges and opportunities present in the Web3 ecosystem.

DWF Labs is a major market maker, playing a key role in providing liquidity and stability to the markets it serves.

The addition of options trading is expected to further enhance market depth and resilience by equipping traders with essential tools for managing risk.

“This development is also seen as a step towards attracting a broader range of participants, including those who require more sophisticated instruments to operate effectively in the digital asset markets,” the company said.

In July, DWF Labs launched a $20 million Cloudbreak Fund to support projects and founders in Chinese-speaking regions.

The Cloudbreak Fund aims to support initiatives in various sectors, including gaming, social finance, meme coins, derivatives, and layer-1 or layer-2 blockchain tech.

DWF Labs Invests $5M in LADY

DWF Labs has a notable track record of investments in the Web3 space.

One of its recent investments is in the Milady Meme Coin (LADYS).

The firm injected $5 million into LADYS, signaling its confidence in the project’s potential.

According to DWF Labs, this partnership is set to enhance collaboration and community engagement within the meme coin and broader Web3 landscape.

The support for Milady Meme Coin shows DWF Labs’ broader investment philosophy.

In 2024, web3 gaming is growing rapidly with the space attracting more VC investment.

Last year, it is estimated that blockchain gaming related funding rounds reached $1.7 billion.

It is estimated a significant part of the funding flowed to the 270 blockchain games in development on Immutable.

Earlier this year, King River Capital, blockchain gaming firm Immutable and Polygon Labs announced they had teamed up to launch a $100 million gaming fund.
