Neutral
Onchain commodity trading dey gain volume for Hyperliquid (multi-billion USD for HIP-3 macro perpetuals) and weekend access dey make am strong for off-hours price discovery. Na constructive signal for activity and fit increase short-term trading opportunities around macro/geopolitical headlines.
But the articles talk say liquidity, order-book depth, spread quality, and execution reliability still better for TradFi venues for large institutional trades. With unresolved issues for price aggregation and market structure, onchain fit get limited impact on overall market stability and crypto asset pricing for now. So the net expected effect na neutral: bullish for onchain venue growth, but capped by the TradFi liquidity advantage.
