<p>In the wake of the FTX implosion, the industry is seeing large user migration from centralized finance to decentralized finance (DeFi). How can your business capitalize on this pivotal moment in crypto and move on stronger?</p><h3 id="what-s-behind-the-demand-for-defi">What’s behind the demand for DeFi?</h3><p>Centralized exchanges (CEXes) are seeing <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/dex-trading-volumes-spike-as-users-leave-cexs-en-masse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">record outflows of funds</a>. Spurred on by the fall of FTX — one of the biggest centralized custodians and exchanges in the space — and fears that other CEXes may follow suit, CEX users are mass withdrawing their funds at an unprecedented rate. Their destination: DeFi.</p><p>According to research by Messari, trading volume across all CEXes <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/dex-trading-volumes-spike-as-users-leave-cexs-en-masse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dropped to $2.82 billion on November 12</a>, a stark drop from $13.71 billion recorded on November 8. Compare this to DEXes in the same period: Trading volume across all DEXes reached $11.93 billion on November 10, up from $2.92 billion recorded on November 7. It is apparent that user confidence is low. Many CEX traders are now discovering self-custody of funds via DEXes.</p><p>Other data analytics platforms like Nansen and Token Terminal support this statistic. Nansen reported that many DeFi protocols have seen <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2022/11/15/defi-protocols-are-winning-users-as-centralized-crypto-exchanges-suffer-ether-outflows/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">double-digit percentage growth in users and transactions</a> in the seven days after FTX’s collapse. Similarly, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/defi-platforms-see-profits-amid-ftx-collapse-and-cex-exodus" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">on-chain data and protocol revenue have been positive for decentralized exchanges (DEX)</a>, according to Token Terminal.</p><h3 id="popularity-of-decentralized-perpetuals">Popularity of decentralized perpetuals</h3><p>Decentralized perpetual products are in demand too. According to Token Terminal, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/defi-platforms-see-profits-amid-ftx-collapse-and-cex-exodus-finance-redefined" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the daily trading volume of tracked perpetual exchanges reached $5 billion</a> on November 8, the highest since crypto’s black swan event (read: Terra crash) in May this year. In the 7-day period from November 8 to November 15, ApolloX DEX perpetual trading volume also<a href="https://twitter.com/ApolloX_com/status/1593227462745505793" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> increased 223%</a>.</p><p>To hedge against the dramatic downfall of FTT, FTX’s native token, and reduce losses from funds stuck on the now-bankrupt exchange, many turned to perpetuals to short FTT. But perpetuals have long been a hedge against market volatility — especially so in bear markets. Now that user sentiment is shifting to DeFi, decentralized derivatives will surge in growth.</p><p>If you’re looking for a solution that can combine both decentralization and derivatives, ApolloX DEX Engine is your answer.
