The is a bearish investment thesis/short report on $DIME, the native token of Paradex (a perpetual futures DEX on Starknet, an Ethereum L2). It argues that $DIME is likely to face significant downward pressure post its Token Generation Event (TGE), due to structural weaknesses, incentive-driven (non-organic) activity, competition (especially from Hyperliquid), and a bearish macro crypto environment.
Note on timing and context (as of March 2026): The report is written shortly before the $DIME TGE, which occurred in early March 2026 (around March 5–6 based on public announcements and listings). The data/metrics cited are as of March 3, 2026.
