Attention all Sentiment users 🚨

Sentiment v2 is in its final wind down phase, which prompts two final measures:

• The interest rate for all Sentiment borrows will be increased to 200% effective immediately
• The LTV for every collateral will be decreased gradually over 3 weeks

These measures are designed to encourage users to repay their loans and withdraw from the protocol. If users do not act accordingly, their borrow positions will be at risk of liquidation.

We encourage users to act quickly. After these steps are taken, support for the app will be completely removed.

Efficient perp markets amplify economic value.

Deep liquidity, tight spreads, and capital-efficient hedging allow perpetual markets to reduce friction, improve price quality, and accelerate risk transfer across participants. As these markets mature, price signals become more informative and systemic capital allocation more effective.

Recently, perpetual futures on Layer-1s like SUI and Aptos saw record open interest growth and tight funding spreads during periods of concentrated protocol upgrades, showing how traders efficiently rebalanced exposure while maintaining market depth.

These dynamics reinforce the ecosystem’s ability to function as a 24/7 global financial system, where information is rapidly absorbed, and capital is deployed optimally across assets.

Leverage compresses information into price faster.

In perpetual markets, leverage constraints, funding rate mechanics, and liquidation thresholds create feedback loops that accelerate price adjustment as information arrives.

Shifts in funding, open interest, and basis divergence often act as leading indicators of underlying stress or conviction before spot flows adjust.

Over the last two days, $hype perpetuals offered a clear example of this dynamic. Rising open interest and increasingly one-sided funding accompanied the rapid price expansion, signaling aggressive leveraged positioning before spot participation fully caught up. The subsequent acceleration in volatility and liquidation activity reflected how information and conviction were absorbed and expressed first through perps, with leverage acting as the transmission layer.

Perpetuals unlock superior capital efficiency.

Perpetual let traders control large notional exposure with a small capital base through leverage, cross‑margining, and the absence of expiry constraints, efficiently allocating risk without frequent roll mechanics.

This capital efficiency, where a fraction of posted margin underwrites meaningful exposure, has been a defining feature of the 2025 derivatives landscape, with platforms offering margin requirements as low as 3–5% of notional and decentralized venues reducing fees to near zero to attract liquidity and increase trading volume.

These dynamics enabled sustained market depth even in sideways spot conditions, demonstrating how perpetuals concentrate speculative and hedging capital into tighter spreads, deeper books, and more expressive price signals across diverse assets.

This is the capital efficiency Onyx is built for. Join the waitlist.

Prediction markets price information, not narratives.

Truth markets force beliefs to be expressed through capital commitment, converting subjective views into continuous probabilistic prices. Order flow, liquidity depth, and information arrival jointly drive price discovery, allowing odds to update in real time.

Markets like Polymarket have dynamically shifted implied probabilities around BTC price outcomes as volatility regimes changed, reflecting how capital reallocates ahead of broader positioning.

The resulting probability is not opinion-weighted, but an equilibrium signal shaped by incentives, risk tolerance, and expected value.

[kreznit @lannister5555]

Prices encode conviction, not consensus.

In truth markets, probabilities emerge from the interaction of risk capital, liquidity constraints, and expected value rather than agreement among participants. Traders are not required to align in belief, only to express views under uncertainty, allowing markets to surface information that surveys or commentary cannot.

This has been evident in markets around ETF approvals and regulatory decisions, where implied probabilities diverged sharply from public narratives well in advance.

As positioning adjusted and informed flow accumulated, prices moved before outcomes were resolved, reinforcing price as a forward-looking signal rather than a retrospective explanation.

[kreznit @lannister5555]

Markets with real stakes are structurally resistant to manipulation.

In prediction markets, participants are exposed to direct PnL, making sustained price distortion costly. Any attempt to push odds away from fair value creates immediate arbitrage opportunities, drawing in informed capital that compresses mispricing.

We saw this in event markets when traders attempted to skew probabilities around major ETH upgrade timelines. Large bets that temporarily moved prices were quickly counter-traded as liquidity providers and informed participants stepped in, forcing odds back toward consensus expectation.

When capital competes, incentives enforce discipline and price converges toward information.

As execution in DeFi continues to fragment, the systems that perform best will be those designed for adaptability rather than dependency on a single venue.

Supporting multiple execution environments allows strategies to route around constraints, respond to changing market conditions, and align execution with the specific tradeoffs each venue offers. Execution diversity is no longer about experimentation, but about building infrastructure that remains effective as markets scale and evolve.

In today’s DeFi markets, execution optionality is not a feature, it is the foundation of durable performance.

As perp markets mature, the edge shifts from raw leverage to how intelligently capital is organized and risk is expressed across a portfolio. Multi-Asset Margin represents this transition away from siloed collateral and toward systems that treat margin as a shared, dynamic resource.

The perp stacks that win will be those built around portfolio-level thinking, where capital efficiency, risk awareness, and execution flexibility are designed in from the ground up rather than layered on later.

Multi-Asset Margin isn’t a differentiator, it’s the standard serious perp systems are built around.

[kreznit @lannister5555]

Multi-Asset Margin is redefining how capital is structured and deployed in perp markets.

It sits at the intersection of efficiency, risk management, and professional trading design🧵

Onyx World Order 🧵

Prediction markets are no longer fringe betting venues. They are emerging as capital weighted information engines that translate political, fiscal, and macro expectations into live probabilities. These probabilities increasingly act as an early layer of market signal and price discovery.
