zkLink X Empowers Perp DEX Rising Star ApeX with Seamless Cross-Chain State Synchronization and Liquidity Aggregation
BlockBeats News, September 29 — The Perp DEX sector has recently seen fierce competition, with Aster's trading volume once surpassing the leading Hyperliquid. The rising star ApeX has also rapidly emerged, with its native token APEX surging over 150% within 24 hours on the 27th, attracting a large influx of trading capital. ApeX's 30-day Perp DEX market share is now reported at 1.50%. Coupled with its relatively low valuation, there is significant potential for further growth.
The core driver behind APEX's rally is the underlying aggregated Rollup infrastructure, zkLink X. zkLink X is specifically designed for high-performance trading dApps, utilizing a customized zkVM trading chain optimized for order book and perpetual contract scenarios, balancing low latency, low cost, and secure settlement. With seamless cross-chain state synchronization and liquidity aggregation capabilities spanning both L1 and L2 ecosystems, it addresses the issue of fragmented liquidity, allowing both developers and traders to experience the convenience of an almost "single-chain" environment.
In the current fiercely competitive Perp DEX market dominated by Hyperliquid, Aster, Lighter, and others, infrastructure has become the key to victory. The collaborative evolution of ApeX and zkLink is fully demonstrating the potential of next-generation infrastructure in DeFi to unleash scalability, cross-chain liquidity, and sustainable growth, positioning itself as a strong contender capable of challenging top perpetual protocols.

Spot gold: Range-bound fluctuations, sell on rallies, buy on dips
Reason for analysis: Spot gold rebounded near a two-month low, but the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that most officials believe it may continue to raise interest rates this year. The strengthening of the US dollar and high US Treasury yields still exert pressure. The easing of tensions between the US and Iran has reduced some safe-haven demand. After technical indicators became oversold in the short term, there was a corrective rebound, but a reversal has not yet occurred, so the range-bound strategy is maintained. Key focus: US Treasury yields, US Dollar Index, geopolitical situation Resistance: 4200, 4230, 4270 Support: 4130, 4100, 4070

LME three-month copper rises 1.1% to $14,461.50 per ton
Analysts at ANZ Bank stated in a research report that rising energy prices and an overnight sell-off in the Nasdaq, which is dominated by tech stocks, have dampened investors’ risk appetite. However, copper prices remain near historic highs, supported by constrained supply. The analysts noted that workers at the Centinela copper mine in Chile are on strike, exacerbating supply limitations. They also indicated that market sentiment has turned relatively optimistic as Chinese traders return after a week-long holiday, providing some support for copper prices. According to ICE data, London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month copper futures rose by 1.1% to $14,461.50 per ton.
