Odaily News According to an official announcement, Gate has launched "Laozi" perpetual contract live trading (USDT-settled), supporting 1-20x leverage. Gate Perp DEX will be launched simultaneously.

Laozi's flash swap, trading bot, copy trading, and recurring investment features are all now live.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that 0xSun, in an article published on the X platform, stated that while the overall market performance is currently sluggish, Perp DEX, prediction markets, and X402 remain highly discussed sectors. Regarding Perp DEX, 0xSun believes that Hyperliquid's development has proven that on-chain contracts have real user demand, and the sector is not limited to a single leading project. Among existing products, 0xSun is more optimistic about Lighter. Despite recent controversies surrounding Sybil, airdrop rules, and TGE timing, Lighter is competitive in terms of product experience, team and funding background, as well as zero transaction fees and liquidity in forex and commodities. Since the token details have not yet been released, 0xSun predicts that if the airdrop is large, it may initially face downward pressure before gradually bottoming out.

Regarding prediction markets, 0xSun states that this sector has become one of the most widely adopted crypto applications, but it also faces issues such as ethical controversies, unclear judgment rules, and potential manipulation risks. Despite this, they believe prediction markets remain the most widely accepted narrative direction, worth understanding in advance and participating in with manageable risks. At the project level, Polymarket has not yet announced a token launch date, and whether Kalshi will launch a token remains uncertain. Opinion Labs, on the other hand, is currently developing rapidly on the BNB chain, with transaction volume exceeding 10 billion. They believe that from an interaction perspective, Polymarket and Opinion are more suitable for most users.
