On decentralized trading platforms, the derivatives market is accelerating rapidly. According to the latest data, the monthly trading volume of DEX perpetual contracts has surpassed $1.2 trillion, reflecting an explosive growth in on-chain derivatives trading—institutional investors are also beginning to accelerate their entry, and liquidity depth continues to improve.

From the performance of mainstream tokens like BAS and IN, market enthusiasm is indeed building. Decentralized finance is redefining the entire crypto trading ecosystem, extending from spot to derivatives, and this trend has just begun. Are your trading strategies keeping up?

BAS1,82%

IN-2,2%

1.2 trillion really can't be held back anymore, institutions are all here to scoop up derivatives, how am I still just messing around in spot --- The numbers for perpetual contracts are outrageous, but to be honest, I'm still afraid of leverage, better to play it safe --- DeFi derivatives are really taking off, but unfortunately I reacted too slowly. Is it too late to enter now? --- This wave of institutional entry is a bit aggressive, could it be a bait? Who can be sure --- BAS, IN, and these coins are all moving, but strategies are too far from me, I’ll just go with the flow --- On-chain derivatives exploding sounds good but also risky, better to observe for now --- It's really competitive now, you have to trade derivatives to keep up with the pace

yeah 1.2T in perps is wild... but ngl reminds me of the leverage cycle spike before things got messy. institutions flooding in always feels different tho, liquidity's getting there but have you actually tried closing a 7-figure position on these chains? slippage still bites hard when it matters

1.2 trillion? Come on, the institutions are really here. If you don't get on now, you'll be left behind. --- Hey, derivatives are truly amazing. The older brothers are going crazy with leverage. --- BAS and IN are showing strong upward momentum, but leverage is also extremely risky. Be careful of liquidation. --- DEX perpetual contracts are on the rise, but unfortunately I’m still holding in spot. I feel a bit regretful. --- What does the entry of institutions mean? Retail investors need to be even more cautious of being cut. --- Liquidity depth optimization, huh? Still, we should be wary of slippage issues. --- From spot to derivatives, the logic makes sense, but I think most people haven't figured out how to use it yet. --- A trading volume of 1.2 trillion sounds impressive, but how many are actually making money? --- Bro, are you really following leverage strategies, or are you just looking at data and getting excited randomly? --- The trend is just beginning or whatever. This is said every time. The real question is, when will it truly take off?

1.2 trillion? Crazy, this is what true DeFi should look like. Institutional entry is a signal; is it time to buy the dip? Perpetual contracts are booming like this, but my spot holdings are still sleeping. The wave of derivatives has indeed arrived, but I just don't know how long it can last. DEXs are really about to overthrow centralized exchanges; it feels like the era has changed.
