🔷 Why you should keep an eye on $GMX
📋 Achievements:
• Decentralized perpetual futures exchange on Arbitrum and Avalanche
• Cumulative trading volume has exceeded $130 billion, with 283,000 users
• GMX V2: around $488 million locked; Data Streams have generated over $56 billion in volume
• Daily protocol volume remains around $1 billion
• Real revenue: around $27 million in fees and $10 million in annualized protocol revenue
• DAO buys back the token: 228,000 GMX for approximately $1.41 million
• Maximum supply capped at 13.25 million tokens
🧠 GMX is one of the few DeFi protocols with real revenue rather than inflationary rewards: fees from perpetual futures trading go to the protocol and token holders. Token buybacks through the DAO reduce supply and demonstrate the maturity of the model. But competition is fierce: Hyperliquid and dYdX have captured a significant share of the perpetual DEX market, and GMX's 2022–2023 dominance is a thing of the past.
⚠️ Risks: competition from Hyperliquid and dYdX; volatility in the derivatives market
❓ Can GMX regain its lead among perpetual DEXs? 👇
