<p class="is-style-lead">DeFi exchange, dydX, is negotiating the sale of a portion of its derivatives trading software for an undisclosed amount.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The sale would be for the exchange’s v3 software, a previous iteration of the dYdX platform. It has attracted traders due to its high liquidity and low slippage rates for large transactions.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Potential buyers of <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/dydx/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/dydx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dYdX</a> include prominent market makers Wintermute Trading Ltd. and Selini Capital, according to multiple anonymous sources.

<p>Despite the platform’s evolution to v4 with its own blockchain, the v3 version remains valuable and has garnered much investor attention.&nbsp;</p>
