Perpetual futures on the commodities that power the energy transition. Transparent pricing. Institutional-grade oracle. Built for the post-China supply chain.
Western governments are pouring capital into critical mineral supply chains to decouple from China. But the financial infrastructure to price, hedge, and finance these minerals doesn't exist.
A lithium producer in Chile needs $100M to expand. Western banks say: "How do we know you can service the debt if lithium drops 60%?" Without a hedge, the bank says no — or demands 15%+ interest. The producer's only option is a Chinese offtaker who'll finance in exchange for 80% of production at a steep discount. Locked in. Single buyer dependency.
The same producer hedges 60% of output at $11,000/ton on Atlas. Goes back to the bank: "Revenue is locked in. Here's the position." Bank lends at 9%, lighter covenants, bigger facility. The producer saves $6M/year in financing costs and keeps their offtake freedom. No Chinese dependency.
A proprietary oracle, cash-settled perpetual futures, and an institutional-grade wrapper — delivered through a single interface.
Multi-source price aggregation from global commodity assessment services. Transparent methodology. Real-time interpolation between assessment windows. Auditable, open, verifiable.
Cash-settled perps with USDC collateral. No expiry, no physical delivery. Tight spreads from professional market making. Up to 10× leverage on launch.
Hedge accounting compatibility. Compliance documentation. API integrations for treasury systems. Built for a mining CFO, not just a crypto trader.
No existing benchmark serves frontier producers. We built one — aggregating from the same sources the physical market trusts, with the transparency crypto demands.
Our oracle aggregates assessments from the leading commodity price reporting agencies, weighted by methodology quality and market coverage. Outlier detection and circuit breakers protect against manipulation.

Atlas Markets is building the financial infrastructure to make frontier critical minerals tradable, hedgeable, and financeable.
