Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

Yeah, I think it's also important to realize there that I think a lot of people when they see zero fees, it's like, okay, if you're not paying fees, you're usually the thing being sold.

Bankless

I think this is wrong in this context because

As a retail user, I generally speaking get better pricing because market makers want to trade against retail flow.

They're not getting the short stick, if you will.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

Yeah, I think I would just add to like, why doesn't Hyperliquid go zero fees?

Bankless

I think Will kind of touched on it.

Bankless

It's like, why would you compress your own margins?

Bankless

Like you don't need to yet.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

You wait till the competitor does that.

And I think you started to see some people get somewhat concerned about that pre-TG just because volumes were such a large percent of PERT volumes.

Bankless

And now that's kind of faded and that's not less of a worry there.

Bankless
