This talk will go in depth on the current status quo of the derivatives industry in traditional finance, how perpetual futures became the most popular crypto instrument and where the future of defi derivatives lie. Specifically I will talk about what is lacking for defi derivatives to achieve more mainstream adoption and find a use case beyond speculation without KYCing. For example, how the """"known"""" limitations inherent to all defi protocols ie. speed and privacy, may not end up being as problematic as one might think. I'll finish by talking a bit about InfinityPools, a DEX that allows for unlimited leverage on any asset with no liquidations, no counterparty risk and no oracles.
