Anyone else using crypto rails to trade macro events now?

I've been trading crypto for years, and one thing I always hated about traditional markets was the amount of friction involved. If I wanted to trade commodities, I needed a futures account, broker approvals, and by the time everything was set up, the opportunity could already be gone.

When Brent started ripping on the Hormuz headlines ($78 to $84 in a few days), I wanted exposure immediately.

I found Canborsa DEX while looking into tokenized commodities. Deposited from my wallet, opened a $2,000 10x long on Brent around $78, and the position is currently up roughly 77%.

What's interesting to me isn't even the PnL—it's the idea that we're starting to trade macro events using crypto infrastructure.

Instead of rotating between exchanges, brokers, and different accounts, I was able to express a view on oil using the same tools I normally use for crypto trading.

Are you trading tokenized RWAs or commodities yet?
