HTX Research's Latest Report Deciphers Pre-Market Trading Ecosystem: How a Hundred-Billion-Dollar Market Reshapes the Starting Line of Web3 Assets

HTX Research, the dedicated research arm of HTX, has released a new report titled "Pre-Market Trading Ecosystem: Mechanism Evolution, Market Structure, and Future Trends Behind a Ten-Billion Scale." The study systematically examines the formation, asset structures, and major models of the pre-market trading ecosystem in crypto, as well as its profound impact on project issuance and exchange systems. The report highlights the emergence of a "1.5-level market" that bridges primary and secondary markets, driven by tightened funding conditions and extended token generation event (TGE) timelines. This pre-market allows early contributions and future expectations to be transformed into tradable instruments. Three core asset structures form this ecosystem: pre-market OTC, spot, and perpetual contracts tied to future token value; tradable points systems linked to airdrop incentives; and NFT-based rights such as whitelist spots and early access passes. Together, these create a multi-layered pre-trading system. HTX has actively explored this space, launching pre-market perpetual contracts for assets like WLFI before their official listings. While pre-market has reached a multi-billion dollar scale with strong growth potential, it also faces challenges including thin liquidity, information asymmetry, and a lack of standardized regulations. Ultimately, pre-market trading is evolving from a grey-area activity into a structured, institutionalized market layer that is reshaping project launches, exchange strategies, and early user participation in crypto.

Why Does Hyperliquid Earn Less Than Coinbase?

Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, processes near-Nasdaq-level perpetual trading volumes but captures significantly lower fees compared to centralized platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood. While Hyperliquid cleared $205.6 billion in notional volume over 30 days, it generated only $80.3 million in fees—an effective take rate of ~3.9 bps. In contrast, Coinbase and Robinhood achieve take rates of ~35.5 bps and ~33.5 bps, respectively, by operating as retail brokers that monetize multiple layers: distribution, balances, subscriptions, and order flow. This gap stems from a structural difference: Hyperliquid positions itself as a low-fee *market layer* (like Nasdaq), providing high-throughput execution and清算 infrastructure, while brokers like Coinbase control user relationships and extract value through higher-margin activities. Hyperliquid’s model includes permissionless distributor frontends (Builder Codes) and product deployment (HIP-3), which drive ecosystem growth but also create long-term fee compression risks by outsourcing high-value distribution. To defend its economics, Hyperliquid is taking steps to retain distribution control, integrate HIP-3 markets natively, and introduce balance-driven revenue streams like USDH (a native stablecoin with 50% reserve收益 sharing) and portfolio margin (10% interest fee on borrows). These moves aim to shift its model from pure exchange-level execution toward a hybrid approach that captures broker-like profit pools—without sacrificing its core infrastructure advantages. The key challenge remains balancing open ecosystem growth with tighter economic integration to avoid being commoditized as a wholesale execution venue.

Coinbase Launches Major Product Updates, Including Prediction Markets and Stock Trading, Transforming into a Comprehensive Financial Platform

Additionally, Coinbase is entering the prediction markets through a partnership with Kalshi, allowing US users to trade event-based contracts. Other new features include a simplified interface for perpetual futures trading, integration of Solana DEX aggregator Jupiter for instant token trading, and an AI-powered wealth management tool called Coinbase Advisor. For businesses, Coinbase Business is now fully available in the US and Singapore, offering financial services for SMBs. The company also introduced a service for creating custom branded stablecoins and is developing new payment infrastructure, including the x402 open payment standard. These moves position Coinbase to compete directly with traditional brokers and expand into new multi-billion dollar revenue streams.

Hot Perp DEX Recent Updates: Find the Best Way to Participate

Despite a generally cool market, Perp DEX platforms remain highly active due to airdrop incentives and stable trading volumes. Here are key updates from three popular Perp DEXs: **StandX** launched its mainnet trading points program, with daily volume exceeding $100 million. Users earn points by depositing DUSD, providing liquidity, trading, or inviting friends. A trading competition is planned, along with more trading pairs. **Aster**, currently leading in daily trading volume among Perp DEXs, continues its monthly airdrop campaigns. Phase 4 is ongoing until Dec 22, and Phase 5 will run from Dec 22 to Feb 1, 2026, distributing 1.2% of total supply. Aster has also increased its daily buyback and burn rate to ~$4 million and launched a human vs. AI trading competition. **Lighter** has been added to Coinbase's listing roadmap, but its TGE may be delayed until late December or early January. Its points system for traders remains opaque ("a blind box"), considering factors like volume and PnL. The team emphasizes a long-term approach to token value rather than a pump at launch.

Nasdaq Plans to Launch 23-Hour Trading, Paving the Final Stretch for On-Chain Stocks and Tokenized Assets

Nasdaq has submitted a proposal to the SEC to extend U.S. stock trading hours to 23 hours per day, effectively formalizing overnight trading. This move is seen as a step toward preparing the market infrastructure for future 24/7 on-chain stock trading and asset tokenization. Key implications include: - Improved accessibility for retail investors, enabling trading across more time zones without waiting for traditional market hours. - Enhanced performance for on-chain stock platforms (e.g., Ondo Finance, StableStock), as their broker-mediated transactions will align with extended market hours, ensuring smoother and more liquid operations. - Stronger support for DeFi protocols, as near-24-hour official pricing improves oracle reliability for lending, derivatives, and other decentralized applications. - Better risk management for brokers and market makers, who can hedge positions throughout most of the day, leading to smoother pricing and deeper on-chain liquidity. This shift signals accelerating momentum toward on-chain equities and tokenized assets.

Machi Big Brother's Leverage Game: Where Does the 'Never-Ending' Money Come From?

Machi Big Brother (Jeffrey Huang), a well-known crypto investor, suffered a series of 10 liquidations on Hyperliquid, causing his account balance to plummet from $1.3 million to just over $53,000. This is part of a pattern of extreme leveraged trading—using 15x to 25x leverage—that has previously led to a $54.5 million swing from profit to loss. Despite these massive losses, he repeatedly replenishes his margin, raising the question: where does the money come from? His capital structure has three main sources: 1. **Traditional tech exit**: He co-founded 17LIVE (formerly 17 Media), and a 2020 share buyback provided substantial liquid fiat capital. 2. **Early crypto projects**: Though controversial and often unsuccessful (e.g., Mithril and Cream Finance), these ventures generated significant early crypto-native capital. 3. **NFT liquidity mining**: He strategically monetized high-value NFTs (like Bored Apes) through large-scale sales, airdrop farming (e.g., Blur rewards), and NFT-backed lending, continuously converting illiquid assets into ETH or stablecoins. His ability to absorb millions in losses suggests a deep, diversified reserve, estimated at over $100 million in unallocated liquid capital. He further refreshes this reserve by launching new token projects, like MACHI on Blast. For ordinary investors, this case is a stark warning: extreme leverage is highly risky, and surviving such volatility requires immense capital depth most do not have. Transparency on-chain exposes these risks, but the mechanical efficiency of platforms like Hyperliquid can amplify losses. The key lesson: survival outweighs the pursuit of rapid riches.
