When you're trading stock perps in the States, you're playing in SEC and CFTC's sandbox. Over in Europe? MiFID rules apply – same deal, different acronym. Both playgrounds demand the full TradFi checklist: licenses, KYC/AML procedures, geo-blocking certain regions... the works.
Now picture a DEX rolling out 10x leveraged TSLA perps. That's where things get messy. You're essentially offering regulated financial products without the regulatory wrapper – and authorities aren't exactly known for their sense of humor about that.

Playing with leverage on a DEX is like walking a tightrope; you will eventually get taken down.

yeah the sec's gonna have a field day with this one... watched three different dexes get absolutely demolished for way less. pattern analysis suggests we're looking at classic regulatory arbitrage gone wrong – unregistered derivatives, check; leverage products, check; typical rugpull signature waiting to happen ngl

Sooner or later it will be checked, this operation by dex is a blatant provocation.

Playing with dex like this will inevitably lead to failure; regulation is not that easy to deceive.
Here's why this matters for crypto:
