The DUSD team quickly launched perps, which was already part of the plan in the whitepaper. This project was started by former Binance executives who ventured out to create their own. Currently, there’s no VC funding involved. DUSD’s TVL is now at $30M. Aster also started with stablecoins before launching perps. The relationship between these two teams is pretty good. If you’re worried about missing out, you can jump in and farm a bit.
