Rails is betting that Stellar‑based smart contract vaults, onchain proofs and segregated collateral can make high‑speed perpetuals more palatable to institutions. Institutional crypto derivatives provider Rails announced the launch of “Institutional-Grade Vaults” on the Stellar network on Tuesday, allowing brokerages, fintechs and other intermediaries to plug into crypto perpetuals via a single backend.
