Perp DEXs are officially a bloodbath. The next alpha? On-chain options.

Think early $HYPE vibes. DeFi options are massively underpriced right now.

Why options hit different:
• Asymmetric leverage without liquidation risk
• Capped downside, unlimited upside
• No funding rate bleed like perps

Spot vs perps vs options — most degens still don't get the edge.

Derive is leading but the UX is brutal. That's the opportunity.

Liquidity = moat. First mover with clean UX wins this entire vertical.

Full breakdown in the thread. If you're not watching on-chain options in 2025, you're already late.
