Paragon has announced the selection of Susquehanna Crypto as its first institutional liquidity partner for on-chain perpetual markets. This collaboration highlights the increasing interest from traditional trading firms in decentralized finance (DeFi) structures.
As a recognized leader in proprietary trading within the digital asset sector, Susquehanna Crypto brings significant liquidity capabilities to Paragon. The partnership addresses longstanding concerns regarding thin order books in decentralized platforms, which can lead to increased slippage and erratic funding rates during off-peak hours.
Paragon operates its perpetual markets through Hyperliquid, aiming to deliver continuous trading without the liquidity gaps often seen in other systems. By partnering with Susquehanna, traders can expect a more stable trading environment, ensuring liquidity is maintained at all hours.
Additionally, the announcement noted that UFO Holdings has invested in Paragon. UFO Holdings, rooted in the success of Kalshi, shows the convergence of traditional finance and crypto sectors as it comprises traders and quants with experience navigating regulatory landscapes.
This partnership and investment are steps toward solidifying a more solid on-chain perpetual trading ecosystem, with Hyperliquid’s Layer 1 infrastructure targeting performance over sheer ecosystem size.
