Perpetual contract DEX track is no longer a hot trend. Projects like EdgeX and StandX are flooding in, and Perp DEX on layer two networks has become so common that it's hard to stand out, making it difficult for newcomers to make waves.
On the other hand, the perpetual contract CEX market is still waiting for its moment. Big players may not necessarily enter, but the opportunity for small firms to rise is actually greater. So BP, as one of the few new players in Perp CEX, unexpectedly emerged — it seems a bit inexplicable at first glance, but upon closer thought, it makes sense.
Just yesterday, I finished analyzing the situation, and today I saw EdgeX announce a delay. Many had previously placed bets, hoping to launch tokens this year, but now they’re stunned, and the community is full of criticism. It’s quite ironic — as the industry makes choices, some exit while others step forward.

Haha, EdgeX's delay is really unbelievable. The gamblers are taking a huge loss this time.

Haha, the EdgeX delay caused the community to explode. Serves them right, I knew something was off all along.

From the perspective of the supply and demand curve, the DEX side has long passed its aesthetic peak, and now CEX has become the final art market. BP wins because everyone has fallen asleep.
The postponement of EdgeX perfectly illustrates the bear market philosophy—when someone's illusions are shattered, opportunities arise for others. Isn't that ironic?
To put it simply, the rotation of tracks is like a K-line chart; there are no eternal hot spots, only eternal gambling games.
The fact that Perp DEX is everywhere has actually been written in economics textbooks about oversupply long ago.
The move of small factories emerging is, in Buffett's words, "be fearful when others are greedy, be greedy when others are fearful." BP is a perfect example of this logic.
Honestly, seeing so many people get cut, I feel this is the last clearance sale opportunity of this round.

Really, the path of DEX has been trodden to death, and EdgeX's delay has directly exposed the reality.
This wave of BP is indeed a lucky catch; there are really few decent Perp CEXs.
Wait, what is the mentality of those delaying now? I'm genuinely curious about how the community is criticizing them.
Sector rotation works like this—some lose everything, others sit back and profit.
These days, if you're still thinking about launching a coin this year, you need to wake up.
Rehashing the same overused stuff is useless; the market only recognizes new things.
Who can guess where the next hot trend will be? Anyway, DEX is definitely not.
Opportunities for small players depend on technology and funding; how's BP's background?
The perpetual contract sector is like this—its golden age is long over.
Delays, delays, and many projects end up abandoned in the end.

This delay of EdgeX is really incredible. Those who have been holding for so long must be suffocating.
The DEX track is indeed saturated, and new opportunities in CEX are becoming clearer. BP has picked up the slack.
Overhyped projects deserve to die; they deserve to be picked up and exited by someone else.

Oh my God, is EdgeX delayed again? I told you not to go all in on this thing.
The DEX track is indeed saturated, and bp's reverse operation this time is actually quite clever.
Wait, is this another new story to cut our profits?
The same old projects popping up one after another, the real opportunities have long been snatched away by the big players.
Small companies trying to turn things around? I think most are still destined to be just supporting roles.
Those who dare to issue tokens at this time either truly have something or... deserve to be criticized.
The industry isn't about choosing, it's about identifying fools.

Haha, EdgeX really shot itself in the foot this time. Who's to blame?
DEXs are everywhere, indeed, but BP chose a pretty good track.
Delays are a sign of harvesting profits, I've seen it too many times.
CEX window periods are tightly controlled, small players actually have a chance.
To be honest, those who make money are always the ones who know when to turn around.
Another group is about to become bagholders...

If I had known earlier that the path of DEX was not feasible, then Perp CEX would be the real opportunity. BP definitely hit the right idea this time.
EdgeX's delay has exposed these people's anxiety, indicating that the market is still looking for truly usable products.
No matter how many mainstream products there are, they can't turn things around. Small companies actually have a chance to overtake on the bend, I really respect this logic.
Haha, it's another game of being eliminated and rising again, see who can hold on until the end.
The DEX path is indeed saturated, but CEX still has room for imagination. No wonder BP can stand out.
