SunPerp has officially entered the competitive decentralized perpetuals (Perp DEX) market by offering a fixed 12% APY on staked assets to attract traders to its platform. Following the success of Hyperliquid and Aster, Perp DEXs are in trend right now, and Tron’s Founder H.E. Justin Sun doesn’t seem to want to miss out.
According to SunPerp, users can stake without complicated steps or restrictions. “USDT TRON now is 12% APY staking rate on SunPerp_DEX,” Justin confirmed on X. Besides earning yield, participants retain full control, with flexible deposits and withdrawals at any time.
SunPerp lets users use their staked tokens for futures trading, so they can earn while staying active in the market. The platform, being on the TRON blockchain, is offering low fees and fast transactions, capable of handling up to 2,000 trades every second.
Rapid growth and user adoption
SunPerp debuted its public beta on September 19 alongside HTX Live and TRON, during an X Space event. In just two days, over 3,000 people had joined the platform. By the sixth day, daily trading surged to $30 million. The mainnet officially went live on October 1 at the Token2049 event.
The platform offers more than 31 trading pairs, from popular memecoins like TRUMP to big assets like Bitcoin. Traders can use up to 20× leverage, either across the whole account or on specific positions.
DeFiLlama shows a big jump in perpetual futures trading, with $34.475 billion traded in just 24 hours. Over the past 30 days, cumulative volume reached $772.28 billion. However, weekly figures show an ‑8.29 % decline, suggesting a short‑term cooldown in market enthusiasm.
Previously, as shown on the chart, there was moderate activity until late 2023, with a sharp increase in mid‑2024, peaking near $60 billion on select days.
SunPerp’s latest staking feature makes it easy and rewarding to earn. Traders can grow their investments passively while still having the flexibility to trade.
