I followed the Consensus panel and it's interesting to see how experts discuss the challenges of perpetual DEXs with institutional investors. Apparently, decentralized derivative trading DEXs remain a tough sell for this category of investors, even if the potential is there.

The thing is, perpetual DEXs offer a different proposition, but institutions still seem hesitant. There are probably several reasons for that – liquidity, regulation, or simply the fact that traditional investors are not yet comfortable with full decentralization for derivative products.

What interests me is how Consensus participants explain these frictions. Perpetual DEXs clearly have potential, but convincing big investors takes time and probably more market maturation. Infrastructure and protocols are improving, but it's a gradual process.

In any case, it's a topic worth following closely. DEXs will continue to evolve, and at some point, this proposition will become more attractive to institutions. For now, it remains a space dominated by retail traders and crypto natives.
