Perp DEXs remain one of DeFi's most competitive sectors, yet @HyperliquidX continues to set the pace. With industry-leading volume and open interest, it has become the benchmark for onchain perpetuals, while the rest of the market continues to mature and expand.

[Funders VC @FundersVC]

Perp DEXs remain one of the most active sectors in DeFi, but the market is heavily concentrated around a single leader.

According to @DefiLlama, @HyperliquidX continues to lead by a wide margin, with approximately $46.79B in reported volume over 7 days, $194B over 30 days, and more than $11B in open interest.

This scale makes it the primary benchmark for the onchain perpetuals market.

At the same time, activity across the rest of the market is becoming more visible.

Cross-network gas abstraction has permanently shifted developer priorities. Modern consumer applications are entirely decoupling the user interface from underlying infrastructure friction, driving unprecedented organic transaction growth on @arbitrum.

Most corporate AI initiatives stagnate because executives underestimate the human factor. While the @Gartner_inc framework defines three levels Defend, Extend, and Upend most firms get stuck at stage one. Real value requires integrating AI literacy into talent strategy.

[Funders VC @FundersVC]

The vast majority of corporate AI initiatives end in stagnation due to a critical underestimation of the human factor.

According to recent @Gartner_inc research AI adoption demands significantly more support than traditional technology, often requiring 25% more training effort and up to 200% additional change management effort.

Many executives make the fatal mistake of treating AI as just another software upgrade, whereas it is actually a profound transformation of culture and business processes.

The attached matrix clearly shows that success depends on your competitive ambition:

1. Defend - using AI to optimize routines and boost employee productivity.
2. Extend - implementing intelligent tools to create new revenue streams.
3. Upend - a strategic pivot of the business model to disrupt markets.

The problem is that most organizations get stuck at the first stage. To avoid turning an expensive AI initiative into dead weight, you must integrate AI literacy directly into your talent development strategy. It is not just about buying software, but about identifying groups that act as force multipliers to drive change from within.

Without a robust change management strategy, the risk of adoption dropouts increases exponentially. Real value from AI emerges only when the technology stack meets deep human expertise ready to rethink their daily workflows.
