      New Synthetic Perpetuals Exchange Papertrade Sees $18.6 Million in Losses on Launch Day

      Papertrade, a new synthetic perpetuals exchange, launched on HyperEVM on October 10, 2026, offering traders up to 1000x leverage on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) perpetual contracts. Within hours of its launch, the platform recorded approximately $18.6 million in net realized losses from traders. This rapid loss accumulation highlights the high-risk nature of trading with such significant leverage.

      In contrast, stakers of the platform's PAPER token benefited from these losses, collecting around $12.57 million in rewards during the first 24 hours. The rewards, which amounted to about 69% of the net trading losses, are distributed to stakers rather than refunded to the losing traders. For every dollar lost by traders, the protocol mints 100 new PAPER tokens, which are then allocated to the losing traders, albeit indirectly, as they can stake these tokens for future rewards.

      The exchange operates through a liquidity pool known as the Martingaler LP, which started with zero liquidity and is funded entirely by trader losses. On its first day, Papertrade generated over $300 billion in notional trading volume, with nearly $13.89 billion in liquidations. The liquidity pool balance quickly reached its $5 million cap, at which point excess funds began flowing to stakers. Approximately 94% to 95% of the 3.17 billion PAPER tokens in circulation were staked shortly after the launch, indicating strong participation from the community.
