Airdrop

An Airdrop is a distribution of free tokens to a community, typically used as a marketing tool or a reward for early protocol adopters and testers. In 2026, the "points-to-airdrop" model has matured into merit-based incentive programs that utilize Sybil-resistance and Proof-of-Humanity to filter out bots. Airdrops remain a primary method for decentralized governance (DAO) bootstrapping. Follow this tag for the latest on retroactive rewards, eligibility criteria, and how to participate in the most anticipated token distributions in the ecosystem.

DEX Perp Volume Ripped Past $1 Trillion for Second Month as Spot Traders Quietly Fled to CEX

DEX Perp Volume Ripped Past $1 Trillion for Second Month as Spot Traders Quietly Fled to CEX

The post DEX Perp Volume Ripped Past $1 Trillion for Second Month as Spot Traders Quietly Fled to CEX appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights On-chain perpetual futures volume on decentralized exchanges remained above $1 trillion in November 2025, marking the second consecutive month of trillion-dollar perp trading. The DEX-to-CEX ratio for perpetual contracts reached an all-time high of 18.4% in November and climbed to 22.2% by December 5. Spot market activity showed the opposite trend, with the proportion of volume traded on DEX platforms dropping from 17.4% to 11.4%. On-chain trading volume across spot and perpetual markets totaled $1.71 trillion in November 2025, according to the latest blockchain news data. The figure represented an 11% decline from October, which had registered an all-time high for combined on-chain volume. Despite the month-over-month drop, the resilience of perpetual contracts stood out against a sharper retreat in on-chain spot trading activity. Perpetual futures accounted for $1.3 trillion of November’s total volume, declining just 4% from the previous month. Spot markets, by contrast, generated approximately $400 billion in volume, a 29% drop that underscored a pronounced shift in trader preferences. The divergence between the two segments highlighted a clear bifurcation in how market participants approached decentralized and centralized venues across different product types. Perp DEX volume YTD | Source: DefiLlama Lighter Overtakes Hyperliquid in Monthly Perp Volume For the first time since August 2024, Hyperliquid did not lead the monthly aggregate for perpetual contract volume on decentralized platforms. According to DefiLlama data, Lighter recorded $290.6 billion in perp volume during November, surpassing Hyperliquid’s $237.9 billion. Aster also moved ahead of Hyperliquid with $248.9 billion in trading activity, marking a rotation among the leading crypto perp DEX venues. The shift reflected both Hyperliquid’s growing competition and the maturation of alternative platforms that had scaled their infrastructure and liquidity pools throughout 2025. Additionally, Lighter and Aster benefited from aggressive incentive campaigns, as the Hyperliquid airdrop reset expectations and…
