Interesting new development. The team, formed by two former co-founders of FTX Europe, Patrick Gruhn and Robin Matzke, recently launched a platform called Perpetuals.com—using AI to drive crypto derivatives trading.

The story behind this project is also quite intriguing. After Earlyworks Co. acquired Perpetual Markets Ltd., the platform officially debuted. What's the most attractive selling point? A 24/7 regulated trading environment. In other words, this is not a wild-growth DEX, but an attempt to provide derivatives liquidity within a compliant framework.

Even more exciting, PDC's stock has started trading on NASDAQ this week. What does this mean? A crypto derivatives platform directly listed on a major U.S. exchange, which is still relatively rare in the industry. It shows that the team aims for a legitimate status rather than playing the gray area as a speculative actor.

AI + derivatives + regulatory compliance—can this combination open up the market? Worth ongoing observation.

Is anyone still thinking about FTX making a comeback? But this time, the approach is different—compliance + NASDAQ, really quite aggressive.

FTX survivors are causing trouble again? This time, it seems a bit different—compliance + direct listing on Nasdaq, clearly aiming to play the正规军 (mainstream/official team).

FTX survivors are up to new tricks... This time shifting to compliance and正规军, betting on institutions buying into this approach. Listing on Nasdaq sounds impressive, but if you don't handle derivatives well, it can still blow up.

A team from FTX is doing this, can you believe it... Regulatory compliance sounds great, but when it comes to derivatives, the gameplay is still the same, to be honest.

Listed on NASDAQ for compliance? This approach is indeed different, much more legitimate than most rustic DEXs.

FTX's people are causing trouble again, and this time they even made it onto NASDAQ? Can they pull off anything under the guise of compliance? I think it's questionable.
