Which one should you pick?
Pick edgeX if
You trade an order book and want stock and forex perps next to crypto.
A serious order book with the same base rate as Hyperliquid on the taker side, but a maker fee where Hyperliquid pays a rebate. The venue lists almost 300 contracts including stock and forex perps, and the fee tiers are the easiest of the series to read.

Pick Extended if
Fee level is your deciding criterion and you want crypto and RWA markets on the same account.
The cheapest taker fee in the series at 0.025%, on a venue built by an ex-Revolut team that settles entirely on Arc, the L1 developed by Circle. Deposits are accepted from seven EVM chains in USDC, ETH or cirBTC, which removes the usual bridging detour.
