๐ Papertrade Hits $80B in Nominal Volume in Just 1 Hour
.
@papertrade_xyz, an on-chain synthetic perpetual exchange on HyperEVM, saw a massive surge in activity, surpassing $80B in nominal trading volume within its first hour
But there's a twist:
โข $4.73M in cumulative user losses
โข robinhood:0xaa3b129e4906009e228a060340601260de068ff5 tokens are minted based on user losses through a predefined curve
โข The initial emission rate was 100 PAPER per $1 lost when LP balance was below $2M
โข Emissions now decay as the LP grows beyond $2M
Papertrade uses
@HyperliquidX BBO mid-price, with users trading directly against the protocol's LP. It offers high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding fees.
The activity is eye-catching, but $80B in nominal volume doesn't equal $80B in capital flowing through the platform.
Can Papertrade sustain this momentum, and what happens to PAPER emissions as the LP grows?
