Retail is waking up.
More traders are getting tired of CEX games — freezes, wicks, “maintenance,” liquidity hunts. The trust is fading. And when trust fades, capital moves.
We’re already seeing funds rotate toward $DEX platforms. Decentralized trading isn’t just a narrative anymore — it’s becoming a shift in behavior.
The decline of CEX dominance feels inevitable.
DEX is positioning itself as the future.
Just look at the recent momentum in $HYPE and $ASTER — that’s not random. That’s capital flowing into the DEX narrative.
Now $AVNT hasn’t moved much yet… but that’s usually how it starts. Quiet accumulation before expansion. Time is the only missing piece.
For the DEX sector, I’m watching:
• $HYPE
• $ASTER
• $AVNT
As for last cycle names like DYDX and GMX they’ve lost leadership. Markets reward innovation, not nostalgia. Some die-hard supporters still believe, and that’s fine.
In the end, price decides.
And time reveals who’s right.
