Phantom, the popular multichain crypto wallet primarily known for Solana support, unveiled Phantom Terminal—a new web-based trading platform designed to transform your browser into a sophisticated trading desk.
Currently in public beta, it’s tailored for advanced traders but remains intuitive for beginners, building on Phantom’s ecosystem of tools like perpetual futures “Phantom Perps” and seamless wallet integration. Dive deep with professional-grade charting tools, live market insights, and customizable analytics for spotting trends and opportunities.
Ultra-Fast Execution: Execute trades with minimal latency, optimized for high-volume or memecoin sniping—leveraging tech from Phantom’s earlier acquisition of SolSniper in August 2025.
Cross-Device Sync: Positions and portfolios sync instantly between web and mobile, so you can start a trade on desktop and monitor it on the go via the Phantom app.

No steep learning curve—it’s embedded in the Phantom wallet experience, with support for spot trading, perps, and more chains Solana-first, expanding to others.
This launch positions Phantom as a one-stop crypto finance hub, competing with platforms like Jupiter or pump.fun by integrating trading directly into the wallet. It’s not available in the UK yet, and Phantom Perps have regional restrictions.
If you’re new, download the Phantom wallet app first for seamless onboarding. Developers can explore API integrations for custom tools. The crypto community is buzzing—early feedback highlights the speed and mobile sync as game-changers for degens and pros alike.
Phantom’s CEO, Brandon Millman, has teased more expansions, following recent drops like CASH stablecoin and Bitcoin support. By embedding pro-grade tools directly into a non-custodial wallet with 20+ million users, Phantom isn’t just adding features—it’s redefining accessibility, competition, and infrastructure.
Phantom Terminal lowers barriers by syncing positions across mobile and web, turning a simple wallet into a full trading desk. Beginners get intuitive spot trading and memecoin discovery, while pros access TradingView-powered charts, real-time analytics, and up to 40x leverage on 100+ perps markets.
This could accelerate mainstream adoption, especially amid crypto’s rebound—Bitcoin hit $90K+ post-dip, signaling renewed retail interest. With Solana’s low latency, users can snipe launches or monitor P&L on the go without app-switching.
Early feedback highlights this as a “game-changer” for degens, potentially pulling in high-volume traders frustrated with fragmented tools like Dexscreener or Photon. Not available in the UK or for all perps regions, it underscores regulatory hurdles. High-leverage trading amplifies volatility risks—Phantom warns it’s unsuitable for everyone.
Phantom challenges dedicated terminals like Axiom, Padre, and GMGN by leveraging its massive user base. Unlike standalone apps, it offers “wallet-native” execution, reducing friction. Community bets lean toward it becoming a “terminal killer,” but skeptics note it may not fully replace specialized tools yet—beta limitations mean no clear edge over sniping bots.
This aligns with Solana’s trend of all-in-one platforms (e.g., Jupiter’s DEX aggregator, pump.fun’s launches). Phantom’s prior acquisitions—like SolSniper for memecoin tools and AI trading tech—position it as a “consumer finance hub,” capturing fees from $3B+ in perps volume. It could erode market share from rivals, fostering innovation but sparking consolidation.
CEO Brandon Millman emphasizes expanding to “the rest of finance,” integrating spot, perps, and future chains. This signals Phantom’s pivot from Solana-only to multichain, potentially onboarding institutions via better UX.
Enhanced tools could reduce slippage for high-frequency trades, boosting Solana’s TVL already up with BTC/ETH support. By enabling direct sniping and wallet tracking, it democratizes alpha—trending tokens and launches become easier to spot, potentially fueling memecoin cycles while improving overall market depth.
Easier access might invite more retail FOMO, amplifying pumps/dumps. Critics worry it empowers “private” bank trading without oversight, exacerbating manipulation in a $3T+ market. Phantom’s non-custodial model helps, but global regs (e.g., EU MiCA) could force adaptations.
No plans for its own chain or IPO keep focus on Solana reinvestment, aligning with “permissionless crypto.” This launch follows CASH stablecoin and Bitcoin integration, building a moat against CeFi giants. Long-term, it could drive $150M+ in Series C value toward ecosystem dominance.
Expect copycats—wallets like Backpack or OKX may amp up terminals. It accelerates “DeFi 2.0” bundling, blending AI analytics from recent acquisitions with onchain execution, paving the way for autonomous trading agents.
Phantom Terminal accelerates Solana’s maturation into a retail-friendly powerhouse, but success hinges on beta refinements and navigating regs. For traders, it’s a net positive: faster, unified tools amid a bullish market.
