There's a lot to unpack here in terms of potential strategies.
First, perpetual derivatives of STRC do not receive the 11.51% APY dividend.
HOWEVER, STRC tends to "depeg...

With $HYPE trading so well, I expect to see (some) beta enter for other players in the perps category. Every category has more than one winner (with power law dynamics) and imo Lighter is best set up to take that 2nd spot next to Hyperliquid. Wouldn'...

won't lie this makes me bearish on Lighter and further cements Hyperliquid as the only good investment regarding the sector
