Just read this interview with StandX co-founder @StandX_AG, and it turns out CZ was already interested in on-chain perpetual contracts back in 2019. Also, StandX's current strategy aligns well with the 'dare to innovate' philosophy. Even though they started late, it allowed the team to better refine and design their product. Since the beginning of the project, the team has been heavily promoting DUSD, which has now become the most liquid LP on Pancake. Besides being used for direct trading/margin, DUSD also offers additional yields and airdrop points. (I can't shake the feeling that StandX's points might turn out to be a big deal... So, I strongly recommend anyone with idle funds to consider swapping other stablecoins for DUSD. Earn interest while racking up points! Participation link: https://(standx.com)/referral?code=defi8362)
