Clutch Markets, the team behind StonkBrokers, announced on X that it has launched the STORMM mechanism and plans to roll out Leverage Machine, a permissionless on-chain options exchange, in September.
Liquidity providers can supply stock tokens or ETH as liquidity and earn LP fees, option premiums, and stock token multiplier rewards.
Other users will be able to buy call or put options backed by the related liquidity. Each options position will be minted as a tradable NFT that records position size, strike price, expiration time, and whether it is in the money, and it can be traded on NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea.
Leverage Machine will also offer an Easy Mode that lets users forecast a stock token's price and time period, after which the system will automatically match the corresponding strike-price liquidity and execute the options trade. For options buyers, the mode does not include perpetual-contract-style forced liquidation, and positions will expire at maturity or be exercised if they are in the money.

A proposed U.S. effort to extract and develop Venezuela’s large oil resources would involve collaboration with Alejandro Betancourt López, a prominent Venezuelan businessman whose family controls North America Blue Energy Partners, the country’s second-largest private oil company.
Four people familiar with the discussions told Sina Finance that the United States intends to back the project through the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital, with Betancourt López’s firm expected to lead operations spanning a substantial portion of Venezuela’s proven oil reserves. The plan includes 17 oil fields.
Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez reportedly endorsed the agreement, saying it could contribute to the country’s revival and potentially generate more than $200 billion in tax revenue.
Trump was quoted as saying the deal would give the United States majority control over a large share of Venezuela’s oil reserves.
Details remained unclear by Saturday afternoon, and changes were expected as the project progresses.
During a covert trip to Moscow aimed at advancing an end to the war in Ukraine, CIA Director John Ratcliffe proposed a three-way summit among President Donald Trump, President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky. He met on Tuesday with Sergey Naryshkin, head of Russia's foreign intelligence service, and FSB director Alexander Bortnikov, and U.S. officials later briefed Zelensky on the talks and the summit concept.
The Trump administration has raised the proposal before; Zelensky has supported it, while Putin has rejected it.
Axios also reported that Ratcliffe explored whether Russia's intelligence chiefs could help persuade Putin to resume U.S.-mediated negotiations with Ukraine, and that he came away viewing Bortnikov as a constructive player.
Ukrainian officials remain skeptical of Putin's intentions, with Zelensky's deputy chief of staff Pavlo Palisa saying Putin has ordered preparations for several offensive scenarios in northern Ukraine, including around Kyiv and Chernihiv.
Negotiations mediated by the Trump administration were paused in mid-February after the war with Iran started, though White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have continued separate talks with Russian and Ukrainian negotiators.
