Outdated DeFi Perps Offerings

DeFi Derivatives: Stuck in the Past While CEXs Dominate

DeFi has always been at the forefront of innovation — exploring pre-markets, prediction markets, time-trading, and social trading, this year. Yet, derivatives remain stagnant, with no significant asset listings compelling users to leave CEXs and trade on DEXs. This lack of ambition in asset offerings fails to attract both CEX traders and non-crypto-native users.

If we want to compete, we must step up and revolutionize market offerings. DeFi needs to deliver markets so enticing and comprehensive that traders are not just drawn to DEXs — they are compelled to stay.

Just like DEXes, perpetual futures DEXes should be first to list new market offerings especially when LPs are willing to take the risk.
