Why wouldn't @GMX_IO enter a death spiral during a bull market? Why wouldn't GLP get drained?
Let's discuss with detailed case studies, data, and calculations. (1/n)👇
GMX is similar to a margin trade platform. GLP loans coins to traders to increase leverage for trading against the market. For example, if you go long on 10 ETH, GLP will lend you 10 ETH, assuming that the price of 10 ETH is $10k when opening a position. (2/n)
When you close the position, you pay back the value of $10k of ETH based on the price at the time of closing. On the one hand, your profit cannot exceed 10 ETH, and GLP will not become insolvent. (3/n)
Make $UNI great again is not as simple as just turning on the protocol switch. Even as the leader of spot DEX, Uniswap's moat is not very wide, and its profit potential is worrying. Why? 👇 (1/n)
We will analyze from the following points: 1. The connection between DEX and users is weak 2. No added value for $UNI 3. CEX spot trading go free 4. Even turn on switch, the protocol revenue is less than cost of operation (2/n)
1. The connection between DEX and users is weak, which make the moat is shallow
The market's expectations for DEX are largely derived from the excellent performance of CEX platform tokens in the past. However, it's not even same level product. (3/n)
