About Yosuke Kida's Participation

Kida will participate as a panelist in the trader-focused session "What Active Traders Really Need from Onchain Perps."

As an entity engaged in proprietary cryptocurrency trading, our company utilizes on-chain Perp DEXs in its daily operations. In particular, with regard to Hyperliquid, we have continuously monitored information from primary sources, including pricing, on-chain supply and demand, and protocol revenue, through the operation of "HyperLending," a cryptocurrency lending service that supports HYPE lending in Japan*, and "HyperLending Analytics," an analytical dashboard that visualizes the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

From the perspective of actual operations, this panel will discuss the following themes:

Barriers to migrating from CEXs (centralized exchanges) to DEXs and challenges faced by existing Perp DEXs

Conditions that active traders truly value (fees, order book depth, execution speed, incentives)

What are truly effective incentives for traders?

Can on-chain trading become the primary battleground for professional traders?

*Self-researched (June 2026, targeting domestic cryptocurrency lending services)
