Equity perpetual contracts trade around the clock, but traditional stock exchanges only operate 32.5 hours per week—that means 80% of trading time happens with zero price discovery mechanism. Here's the real threat: wait for the first cascade liquidation event when someone strategically manipulates the oracle during market close. The problem cuts deeper than you'd think. Every equity perp solution on the market shares the same fundamental attack vector. As long as there's a gap between perpetual trading hours and spot price updates, sophisticated traders can exploit that window. Oracle manipulation becomes a feature, not a bug, when market structure allows it. This isn't theoretical risk—it's a structural vulnerability baked into how these protocols operate.
