0xSun: Perp DEX and prediction markets remain the two hottest topics in current crypto discussions

According to Odaily, 0xSun posted on X stating that although the overall market performance is sluggish, Perp DEX, prediction markets, and X402 remain highly discussed sectors. Regarding Perp DEX, he believes that the development of Hyperliquid has proven that on-chain contracts have real user demand, and the sector is not limited to a single leading project. Among the current products, he is more optimistic about Lighter. Despite recent controversies surrounding Sybil attacks, airdrop rules, and TGE timing, Lighter is competitive in terms of product experience, team and funding background, as well as zero fees, forex, and commodity liquidity. Since the token details have not yet been announced, he judges that if the airdrop scale is large, there may be initial downward pressure, followed by a gradual bottoming process.

In terms of prediction markets, 0xSun stated that this sector has become one of the most widely recognized crypto applications, but it also faces issues such as moral controversy, unclear adjudication rules, and potential manipulation risks. Nevertheless, he believes that prediction markets remain the most consensus-driven narrative direction at present, and are worth understanding in advance and participating in with controlled risk. At the project level, Polymarket has not yet announced a token launch date, Kalshi's token issuance is still uncertain, while Opinion Labs is currently developing rapidly on the BNB Chain, with trading volume surpassing 10 billion. He believes that from an interaction perspective, Polymarket and Opinion are more suitable for most users.
