Recognizing the growing interest in Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Alpha Impact integrated with crypto wallet MetaMask, allowing users to track real-time on-chain Ethereum assets. The platform recently launched paper trading demo accounts for spot markets in 2024, with plans to expand its paper trading features for futures exchange soon.
