Perp DEX weekly fees peaked at $160.6M (Sep 29, 2025). Now $28.3M, down 82%. 70% of that peak was Aster alone ($111.7M/week). Strip that, the organic market went from $48.9M to $26.7M.
> @Aster_DEX collapsed 99% ($111.7M → $1.54M/week). Hyperliquid dropped 33% ($20.5M → $13.7M), but the ex-Aster market dropped 45%. Incentive-driven volume disappeared. Product-driven volume contracted less.
> @HyperliquidX holds ~50% of perp DEX fees with no close second. @edgeX_exchange (18%) is the only other protocol above 10%. HIP-3 commodities/equities now drive ~40% of HL volume, a revenue line no competitor has. 97% of fees go to HYPE buybacks (~$2M/day).
> Perp DEX fees are contracting, but Hyperliquid's share keeps climbing (~40% Jan → ~50% Mar). If the broader market recovers, Hyperliquid is positioned to capture the upside from a structurally dominant position.
Huge congratulations to TradeXYZ and S&P for this historic partnership. I'm honored that these teams choose to build on Hyperliquid.
Seeing official S&P500 perpetual futures launch exclusively on Hyperliquid is a validation of everyone's past years of hard work: global access to decentralized finance, perpetual futures as 24/7 price discovery, and Hyperliquid upgrading the existing financial stack to house all of finance.
The S&P500 is synonymous with "the market," a single number that captures the essence of the largest economy in the world. Looking forward to tracking the world's most important financial gauge 24/7 on the most liquid permissionless markets.

When you overlay @tradexyz's crude oil ticker with CME's, the recent weekends are interesting. It appears CME's price is the one catching up with Hyperliquid's, not the other way around.
Tangible evidence of real price discovery is happening on Hyperliquid during the weekends.
