#Strategy加仓比特币 Perpetual Contract DEX trading volume has recently picked up. According to the latest on-chain data, on January 21st, the trading activity of mainstream Perp DEXs was quite active. Although the open interest declined slightly, trading enthusiasm is clearly heating up.



Hyperliquid still maintains a steady lead, with a daily trading volume reaching $8.97 billion, TVL around $4.51 billion, and open interest approximately $8.18 billion (a slight decrease of 6% from the previous day).

The performance of other platforms is also quite good:

Aster's 24-hour trading volume is about $6.10 billion, TVL around $1.23 billion, and open interest approximately $2.46 billion
Lighter's trading volume is about $4.92 billion, TVL around $1.06 billion, and open interest about $1.22 billion
EdgeX's trading volume is about $4.59 billion, TVL around $422 million, and open interest approximately $1.06 billion
Paradex's trading volume is about $1.76 billion, TVL around $221 million, and open interest about $628 million
Pacifica's trading volume is about $832 million, TVL around $46.21 million, and open interest approximately $78.8 million

This phenomenon is quite interesting — trading volume is rising, but leverage positions are not increasing accordingly. It indicates that traders are now more focused on swing trading and short-term trades rather than holding long-term positions. The greater the market volatility, the more active short-term capital becomes.

Trading volume is rising but positions haven't kept up, indicating that they're all short-sighted quick-profit snipers. It's really not interesting.

Signals of active short-term funds; it might really be wise not to hold a heavy position in this wave.

Damn, Hyperliquid's trading volume of 8.97 billion is directly taking off. All other DEXes have to step aside. As for short-term capital activity... frankly, no one dares to hold heavy positions. Everyone is just itching to buy the dip. Aster and Lighter's data look pretty good, but the huge difference between TVL and OI ratios—whether it's truly a market rebound or just a way to harvest the little guys, I really can't tell. Perpetual contracts are like this: high trading volume is great, but when big players dump, it's all over.

The swing traders are active again, this is the rhythm I like.
