Sui: AftermathFi Perpetuals V2 Launches with 15 Markets

The launch matters less for the market count than for what it signals about Sui's DeFi stack: perpetuals are capital-intensive, liquidity-sensitive products, and adding them tests whether the chain can retain trading volume rather than just attract it. The immediate read is competitive — Sui-based venues now have another derivatives option, which pressures existing protocols on fees and depth. The open question is whether liquidity follows. Fifteen markets can be listed quickly; sustaining them requires market makers and hedging demand that a single launch does not guarantee.
