What if the next major perp DEX wasn’t built in silence?

What if it launched with:
◉ 3M users already onboard
◉ Backing from a Bitcoin ETF issuer
◉ Public endorsement from Donald Trump Jr.?

That’s $DEFI.

And it’s not a whisper anymore, it’s a loud move on the board.

$DEFI is going head-to-head with Hyperliquid.

Their team is building a next-gen perp DEX with serious tech, speed, and most importantly scale.

This isn’t a beta project. It’s backed by millions of real users and zero VC dilution.

It’s also TradFi-aligned.

One of the project’s key backers is tied to a Bitcoin ETF issuer; a huge signal for legacy credibility.

And then came this post from Donald Trump Jr:
📢

That’s not your average degens-only launch.

Where to buy? You can buy on Mexc, Kucoin and Dex

The bigger signal?

$DEFI isn’t just DeFi hype—it’s positioned for real adoption:
✅ Existing community
✅ Infrastructure focus
✅ TradFi + political connections

This isn’t a play for exit liquidity.
It’s a long-game asset with strategic foundations.

Watch this one.
