To capture trading activity, various blockchains are launching perpetual futures exchanges (perp DEXs). The success of these platforms greatly hinges on attracting enough trading activity, as historical data shows liquidity often consolidates around a few dominant exchanges.
New perp DEXs face an uphill battle, as immense liquidity tends to cluster around established venues. Without distinctive offerings, it may become difficult for multiple trading platforms to coexist due to inefficiencies and trader preferences.
Future developments in derivatives markets may lead to a U-shaped liquidity cycle across different networks, emphasizing the need for perp DEXs to provide unique features to remain competitive and prevent fragmentation.
