According to @KookCapitalLLC, Monad is positioning itself as a fast crypto trading venue by focusing on central limit order books (CLOB) and perpetuals (perps), especially following GTE's significant funding round led by Paradigm and other investors. Despite Monad's claims of being the 'fastest trading venue,' @KookCapitalLLC questions its appeal compared to Hyperliquid, highlighting ongoing competition among advanced trading platforms and possible user skepticism regarding new entrants. This competitive dynamic may influence trader migration and liquidity distribution in the crypto derivatives market, especially for ETH-related products (source: @KookCapitalLLC).
