When a derivatives exchange decides to launch perps for non-standard assets like Birkin bags or Charizard NFTs, you've got to question the core strategy. The reality? Nobody's actually trading these exotic perps in meaningful volume. It's that simple. What makes this even more telling is when platforms lean heavily on testnet metrics to showcase activity—inflated numbers that don't reflect real market adoption. Those flashy volume figures on test networks are just theater. The disconnect between what looks impressive on paper and what traders actually use tells you everything about whether a platform truly understands its market or is just chasing hype.
