Perps DEXes are so hot right now and there's one trend that's following along side them: Productive capital. The idea that although your money is on a perp DEX waiting for a trade, it doesn't mean it should be idle and not earning yield. So instead you see perp DEXes who allow your idle capital to earn yield whilst you wait for your entry. This feels like a uniquely onchain DeFi enabled ability, because I haven't seen it on any CEXes - at least not in a reliable fashion. That's interesting to me because it's another use case for blockchain tech which centralised systems either can't do, or don't do because it's so costly it becomes prohibitive. In turn, perp DEXes like Gravity become a full onchain wealth platform and the result is end users get way more composability: > Deposit funds > Earn yield on assets > Same yield earning assets are used as collateral for trades > Earn Gravity points for activity The features that DeFi enables are really cool and keep capital productive at all times. With tokenised stocks and the expansion into RWA's we'll see more people put their money into platforms like Gravity and conduct all the financial txns from one place. The future of finance is undoubtedly and increasingly onchain.
