TradingView just got a major upgrade, and it could open new doors for crypto-focused prop traders.

Through a new integration with Kaiko, TradingView now provides real-time and historical market data from 16 decentralized exchanges (DEXs), including Uniswap, Curve, dYdX, and PancakeSwap. This marks a big step toward bridging traditional trading tools with the world of decentralized finance.

The update includes data from a wide range of blockchains and DEXs, such as Uniswap, PancakeSwap, dYdX, and several emerging platforms across ecosystems like Sui, Tron, and Pulsechain.

Why does this matter for prop traders?

While most prop firms currently focus on forex, indices, and major crypto pairs via centralized exchanges, this signals a shift in accessibility. Traders who specialize in DeFi tokens or monitor DEX liquidity can now use TradingView’s charting tools to analyze previously unavailable data — all in one place.

For crypto prop firms or firms offering hybrid challenges, this could lead to broader asset coverage in the near future. And for traders, it’s an opportunity to gain an edge by tracking on-chain activity in real time with familiar tools.

The line between DeFi and prop trading is starting to blur — and traders who adapt early may be the ones who benefit most.

This is just the beginning. Keep an eye on PropInsider for the latest tools and trends in the prop trading world.
