Summary

In an episode of Unchained hosted by Laura Shin, guest Jason Pagoulatos, head of markets at Delphi Research, discusses how PaperTrade attracted $140 million in pre-deposits. The platform offers 1,000x leverage on BTC and ETH with no fees, no slippage, and no funding rate. Pagoulatos explains the platform's mechanics, where every trade is taken against a house pool funded by losers' margin, and losses mint a PAPER token as a rebate. The discussion also covers comparisons to old bucket shops, queues that slowed closing trades on HyperEVM, and an incident on launch day where a trader moved ETH on Hyperliquid to affect PaperTrade's price feed.
