According to the source, claims that Hyperliquid’s perp DEX dominance is fading while Lighter and Aster gain traction should be verified with independent market data before rotating capital. Source: user-provided social post. Validate market share, volume, and open interest trends on derivatives DEX dashboards to confirm real flow rotation and liquidity depth before sizing positions.

Compare taker fees, maker rebates, and L2 gas costs to compute net effective trading cost; even a 1–3 bps edge compounds materially for active strategies.

Monitor funding rates and basis; persistent positive funding on newcomers alongside rising OI can signal momentum but heightens liquidation risk on crowded positioning.

According to @0xRyze, in a multi-chain market, capital and builders gravitate to ecosystems with the strongest community conviction and support, so traders should overweight projects where social engagement and belief are highest and improving (source: @0xRyze). According to @0xRyze, consumer crypto products inflect nonlinearly—often not working until they suddenly do—so a concentrated approach in the strongest early teams beats a shotgun portfolio across many names (source: @0xRyze). According to @0xRyze, narratives compound within chains—pumps spawn launchpads and hype drives perp DEX participation—so aligning with a leading ecosystem’s core apps can capture follow-on rotations and volume (source: @0xRyze). According to @0xRyze, founders and teams within the same ecosystem cross-promote and share institutional knowledge, so traders should map clusters and size into category leaders that benefit from ecosystem flywheels (source: @0xRyze). According to @0xRyze, the fastest edge is to enter the ecosystem’s social sim cluster—engage with memes and people—to test cultural fit and stickiness before sizing up positions (source: @0xRyze).

According to the source, Aster led perpetual DEXs with USD 35.9B in 24-hour trading volume, indicating a notable short-term liquidity surge for derivatives traders. Source: the source. Elevated trading volume is associated with deeper liquidity and tighter spreads, which can reduce slippage and improve execution quality for active strategies. Sources: CME Group Education; Nasdaq Market Microstructure. High turnover on perpetual contracts often coincides with larger funding-rate deviations from neutral, presenting carry opportunities when rates persistently skew positive or negative.

For risk control during high-volume sessions, traders commonly monitor funding rates, open interest changes, and top-traded pairs before sizing positions and setting stops.

According to @MilkRoadDaily, Scott Melker argues the Federal Reserve is effectively neutered and recent rate cuts have not triggered a crypto rally, indicating macro policy headlines are not the dominant driver of BTC and ETH near term, source: @MilkRoadDaily, Sep 25, 2025.

According to @KookCapitalLLC, the market does not have enough perpetual DEX options and should return to the proliferation seen during the BSC fork DeFi Summer period, indicating a push for more on-chain derivatives venues (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Sep 21, 2025).

According to @KookCapitalLLC, this highlights retail appetite for more perp DEX launches while simultaneously reminding traders that illiquid emissions tokens can rapidly collapse to zero, a material risk factor for strategy design and risk management (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Sep 21, 2025).
