Why it matters

Ondo's multi-front expansion shows the trend of perp DEXs moving into traditional assets (FX, equities, private markets) and adding incentive layers to attract traders, reflecting growing competition in the RWA perp space.

Observed reaction

Bullish on Ondo Perps expansion and incentives; mixed on perp DEX farming sustainability due to papertrade change; neutral on other product launches.
