Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, has seen remarkable performance since its Token Generation Event (TGE) on November 29 at 15:30 UTC+8.

According to ASXN Data, the token’s daily trading volume exceeded $600 million, with its price nearing $7. At one point, the Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) approached $7 billion, signaling strong market demand.

SynFutures: A Leader in Perpetual DEX Growth  

SynFutures, a perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Base network, stands out as a significant competitor to platforms like dYdX, GMX, and Hyperliquid. Since its launch in 2021, SynFutures has raised $37.4 million in funding from prominent investors, including Pantera Capital, Dragonfly, Polychain, Wintermute, and Bybit.

Pantera Capital, known for its robust financial history, notably acquired 2% of the total Bitcoin supply (approximately 280,000 BTC) between 2013 and 2015. To compare, MicroStrategy holds 386,000 BTC today, showcasing Pantera’s strong investment capabilities.

Impressive Metrics and Market Leadership  

Data from DefiLlama shows SynFutures ranked third in trading volume during Q2-Q3, capturing a 14.11% market share—just behind dYdX (14.37%) and Hyperliquid (16.94%). With only nine months since its V3 launch, SynFutures’ total value locked (TVL) has surged to $42.09 million, nearly half of Base’s decentralized derivatives sector.

The platform continues to innovate, launching a Perp Launchpad on November 9 to enable token issuance in the perpetual market. This unique approach aligns with the bull market’s momentum, allowing broader participation beyond traditional DeFi players. Future plans include building a spot aggregator, further expanding its market presence.

Competitive Valuations  

In the derivatives DEX category:  

– Hyperliquid (Arbitrum) leads with an FDV of $4.4 billion.

– Drift (Solana) follows at $1.43 billion.

– dYdX (Ethereum) stands at $603 million.

In spot aggregation: 

– Jupiter (Solana) dominates with $11.6 billion FDV.

– Aerodrome (Base) trails at $1.97 billion.

SynFutures’ upcoming token, $F, has its TGE planned, and the platform’s innovative strategies are positioning it as a key player in the evolving DeFi landscape.
