About Cosmos (ATOM/USD)
Cosmos is a network of independent blockchains connected by the IBC protocol, which allows them to transfer tokens and data without relying on centralised bridges. The Cosmos SDK, an open-source framework, lets developers build application-specific chains (appchains) that plug into the wider ecosystem. ATOM is the native token of the Cosmos Hub, the first chain built on the network, and is used for staking, governance, and securing interchain services. ATOM/USD on StoicFX is a CFD: you trade the price movement without holding any tokens.
Key Price Drivers
- IBC adoption and cross-chain transfer volume reflecting ecosystem demand
- Interchain security rollouts changing ATOM staking demand and yield potential
- New Cosmos SDK appchains expanding the network effect beyond direct ATOM usage
- ATOM inflation rate adjusting to staking participation, shifting circulating supply

FAQ
What is the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol?
IBC is a protocol that allows independent blockchains built with the Cosmos SDK to send tokens and data to each other without a centralised intermediary. Each chain retains its own sovereignty while being able to interoperate with others, similar to how TCP/IP lets different computer networks communicate.
How is ATOM used within the Cosmos network?
ATOM is the staking and governance token for the Cosmos Hub. Holders can stake ATOM to validators to help secure the network and earn inflationary rewards. ATOM is also used to vote on governance proposals that shape the Hub's development direction.
What is the difference between the Cosmos Hub and the broader Cosmos ecosystem?
The Cosmos ecosystem includes hundreds of independent blockchains built with the Cosmos SDK. The Cosmos Hub is just one of those chains and was the first to launch. Many Cosmos chains like Osmosis and Celestia have their own tokens and operate independently, which means ATOM's price does not always track the health of the entire ecosystem.
Do I receive staking rewards when I trade ATOM/USD on StoicFX?
No. ATOM/USD on StoicFX is a CFD that tracks the price of ATOM against the US dollar. No tokens are purchased, staked, or held on your behalf. Staking rewards are only available to users who hold actual ATOM tokens in a compatible wallet.
