As per Bitcoin.com, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of Bitmex and CIO of Maelstrom, argues that traditional finance (TradFi) must adapt to perpetual futures or risk obsolescence. He forecasts that equity perpetuals will become the hottest trading product in 2026, driven by nonstop access and concentrated liquidity. Hayes claims that crypto-native structures are overtaking legacy derivatives faster than regulators anticipated, and that exchanges failing to modernize their collateral and clearing models will lose relevance. He also suggests that U.S. political momentum could support global adoption of perpetuals through 2029.
