crypto exchanges aren’t looking very crypto-only anymore
been looking at @binance’s perps data and it kinda proves it. 10 of the top 15 perpetual contracts by 24h volume are tied to tradfi assets now, stocks, etfs, commodities. the remaining five are crypto perps, led by btc and other major tokens.

But if ...
