Ethereal review 2026

Ethereal markets are closed

Ethereal's official app says that its markets have closed. The app tells users to withdraw any funds that remain. It also tells them to complete their move to Meridian. PerpFinder checked this status on September 14, 2026.

The public product API also marks all 18 listed markets as DELISTED. Its BTC order-book endpoint returns empty bids and asks. An HTTP 200 response from this endpoint does not mean that you can trade.

Historical fees and market data

The archived product records keep a 0% maker fee and a 0.03% taker fee. These fees describe the old Ethereal markets. You cannot trade at these fees. They also do not show the fees on Meridian.

PerpFinder leaves Ethereal out of active cost comparisons. It also leaves Ethereal out of funding rankings and trading links. Old charts and records can stay online with their original dates. A stored funding rate from a delisted product is not a current funding opportunity.

The former platform

Ethereal used USDe collateral. It ran an order book on its own appchain. Its old market records show leverage limits, fees and supported pairs. Those settings help explain past data. They do not give access to a live market today.

Remaining balances and the migration

Use the official Ethereal app for the withdrawal and migration notice. Check the destination and the current steps there. This review does not assume that balances move to Meridian. It makes the same choice for fee tiers, referral terms and points.

For venues that still support trading, see the active perpetual markets and the execution-cost comparison.
