The sector shifted from a near-monopolistic setup dominated by Hyperliquid into a highly competitive field.

Mainly driven by liquidity rotation from memecoins, perps volume hit an ATH of $1.8T in October, retracing to $864M at the EOY."

I somehow managed to be 1 of the 787 people who traded $1M+ on the platform. Tbh I was just learning about perp trading at the time.

Crazy to think that even just depositing money qualified you back then."
