Just now, everyone in the group was arguing over an Alpha project
An old brother has been running a certain L2 public chain point task for more than half a year
Every day, I clock in to interact just like going to work
As a result, after calculating the tokens distributed today, the value of the airdrop didn't even cover the electricity bills and cross-chain Gas fees for these few months, completely being taken advantage of
In today's crypto world, this kind of point-based PUA has simply become the norm
The project party treats retail investors as free labor, dragging it out for months without any reliable information
It's also because I'm disgusted by this group of people who just talk big about projects
----
Today, when I logged into my account and saw the WLFI credited in Aster, I actually felt a bit unaccustomed
In this day and age, is there really a project party that settles accounts on time weekly without playing tricks?
I have long been immune to those air projects that only offer a bunch of virtual points.
➤ The official battle report states that in the first week, the perpetual contract of USD1 on Aster DEX achieved a trading volume of 2.66 billion USD.
Once this data is released, many people’s first reaction is definitely to brush it.
There is no doubt about it.
In this circle, as long as there are enough subsidies, capital rushes in like it's equipped with radar.
➤ In the first week, directly invested 625,000 $WLFI in real cash as trading rewards.
Go check the Transaction History in your Aster Spot account; the remittance is straightforward.
This real cash flow that settles weekly is much stronger than those vague snapshot expectations.
-----
They are completely using heavy capital to purchase the application scenarios and liquidity of USD1.
The current stablecoin market has already been nearly divided among several giants, and new players want to squeeze in.
Relying solely on issuing a few press releases claiming how strong your background is is completely useless.
You need to get large funds circulating in a real DeFi environment.
Carefully analyze the collaboration between WLFI and Aster; the capital calculations behind it are very shrewd.
How to turn? It relies on this kind of dual-track superposition strong stimulation.
➢ Holding USD1, you can share a large pool of 2.5M WLFI every month, equivalent to providing a risk-free interest rate on the underlying capital.
➢ Use USD1 to open perpetual contracts on Aster and you can also benefit from trading distributions on a weekly basis.
Traders who understand a bit about hedging should know what to do upon seeing this mechanism.
Directly do a spot-futures arbitrage, or open a hedge on both sides with low multiples.
As long as your trading friction costs (fees plus slippage) are strictly controlled within the distribution.
Beneath the reward value of WLFI, this is essentially a highly efficient capital turnover machine.
Many people were initially hesitant to touch new stablecoin contracts, fearing that insufficient depth would get them trapped by price spikes.
But after 2.6 billion USD came out, large market makers have long sensed the taste and filled the order book.
Retail trading wear has actually been significantly reduced.
-----
The second week's activities have already started; judging by the trends, the official will likely launch more trading pairs.
I am too lazy to care about how large the political vision behind WLFI is or whether it can ultimately seize the throne of stablecoins.
Those are issues for the high-level capital to worry about.
As a trader who looks for gains in the market every day, the most pragmatic approach now is to follow the visible and tangible subsidies.
Whichever platform offers high certainty and fast settlement, capital will naturally go there.
No more writing, I need to calculate last week's specific wear rate.
Let's see if the position ratio in the second half of the week needs to lean a bit more towards USD1.
