1. “RWA Perpetual Product Crisis: Why the GLP Model is Doomed to Fail RWA Perpetual?”
The current RWA perpetual products (such as Ostium) have seen a surge in usage, but the GLP-style liquidity model is unsustainable due to high funding rates, trader vs. LP zero-sum game, lack of hedging mechanisms, which limits platform expansion. In contrast, HyperLiquid performs better with a more flexible HLP model. In the future, if Ostium shifts to an order book model to reduce fees and improve market efficiency, only then can long-term healthy growth be achieved.
