Pacifica high-frequency trader doubles a principal of 300,000 with profits; what is the value of the points airdrop?

The points activity on the Pacifica platform is attracting more and more traders to participate. A high-frequency trading address has generated $650,000 in profit with a principal of $300,000 in less than two months, while accumulating tens of thousands of points. Behind this case reflects a new approach on the Perp DEX platform driven by point incentives to boost trading volume.

Trader Performance Breakdown

According to the latest news, this high-frequency trading address marked as 4TYE has been building positions on Pacifica since November 25, with impressive results.

This trader leveraged a relatively small principal to generate over 400 times the trading volume. Such high leverage operations are common on Perp DEXs, but few achieve double-digit profits. More importantly, this process also accumulated a large number of points.

Potential Value of Point Airdrops

Based on analysis of traders who have received points in the community, this address is expected to accumulate about 47,000 points with a trading volume of $120 million. This number may seem a bit abstract, but comparing it to the point prices on other Perp DEXs reveals its value.

According to the latest OTC market data, Pacifica points are priced between $0.4 and $0.5 per point. At this rate, the current value of 47,000 points is approximately between $18,800 and $23,500.

However, a more imaginative hypothesis mentioned in the news is: if the point program continues for 22 weeks with an airdrop allocation ratio of 25%, this address could exchange for about 53,000 tokens. This means that if the token is eventually listed for trading, its potential value could far exceed the current OTC price of the points.

Why is this case worth paying attention to

This trader’s story demonstrates two attractions of the Pacifica platform: first, real trading profit opportunities; second, the potential returns from point airdrops. Compared to other Perp DEXs, Pacifica’s OTC point prices ($0.4 to $0.5 per point) are relatively low, implying greater room for price appreciation.

Meanwhile, from the market landscape of Perp DEXs, according to the latest data, Hyperliquid leads with $7.07 billion in 24-hour trading volume, followed by Aster with $5.52 billion. Although Pacifica has not entered the top three, its use of point incentives is attracting more traders, which is an important signal of platform growth.

Risks to Understand

It should be noted that this case represents the success of a few high-frequency traders. High leverage trading carries significant risks, and most participants may see very different results. The final value of the point airdrop also depends on factors such as token issuance and market demand. The current OTC prices are market expectations, not guaranteed returns.

Summary

Pacifica’s point activity is indeed attracting professional traders. The case of this high-frequency trader proves that on this platform, one can both earn trading profits and accumulate airdrop potential. However, such success requires professional trading skills and risk management. For ordinary participants, understanding the actual value and risks of points is more important.
