Institutional involvement in decentralized perpetual futures exchanges is still minimal, primarily due to perceived security risks and conflicts with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.

He noted that perpetual decentralized exchanges (Perp DEXs) present more challenges for institutional use compared to centralized exchanges.
