SUI News Today: Perpetual DEXs See $1.2 Trillion Boom, But Underlying Issues Remain in Crypto Derivatives Competition
- Perp DEX trading volumes hit $1.2T in Oct 2025, driven by incentive programs and market liquidations. - Lighter (27% share) and BNB-backed Aster led growth, while Hyperliquid's share dropped to 10% despite strong fundamentals. - Sui blockchain's HyperSui raised $2M, signaling potential to boost DeFi TVL to $3B and drive SUI price to $11.20. - Analysts warn of structural challenges despite short-term growth, with volumes expected to stabilize unless new liquidation events occur.

Still, ongoing incentive campaigns and growing institutional participation are likely to keep activity above pre-October levels. For now, the perp DEX sector remains highly competitive, with platforms striving to attract traders seeking leverage and liquidity in an increasingly fragmented crypto derivatives market.
