As the virtual asset (cryptocurrency) derivatives market rapidly grows, an analysis has found that perpetual futures products are becoming a core component of the DeFi (decentralized finance) ecosystem.
On the 29th (local time), David Duong, head of institutional crypto research at Coinbase, said that the cumulative trading volume of virtual asset perpetual futures on decentralized perpetual futures exchanges (PerpDEX·PerpDEX) has exceeded $1.2 trillion.
Duong assessed that perpetual futures are organically integrating with DeFi beyond being simple trading products. He explained that as perpetual futures positions combine with lending protocols, various financial strategies such as leverage strategies, liquidity utilization, and risk management have become possible.
He pointed out that, particularly in DeFi environments, collateral, lending, and derivatives are connected within a single structure and show higher coupling compared to traditional finance. This structure is analyzed to provide a foundation for generating new profit opportunities even amid market volatility.
Duong also mentioned the possibility that perpetual futures products could expand beyond virtual assets to traditional assets such as stocks. He projected that retail investors may use perpetual futures as a more flexible trading instrument.
He added that the virtual asset derivatives market is entering a mature stage alongside institutional adoption and that the integration with DeFi will act as a long-term growth driver.
