In just a matter of weeks, Variational achieved top-tier status: $1B OI milestone, consistent $1.5-2B daily volume and over $3M in loss refunds shared since September 2025
Valuation Outlook: $3-4B FDV Realistic
Comparables like @Lighter_xyz (~$2B+ FDV at launch) and @HyperliquidX show perp DEXs command high multiples based on OI and TVL
Variational's RFQ edge, zero fees, and Pro's institutional appeal add significant premiums
Base models suggest $1-2B FDV at current metrics, but bull scenarios, with growing volume, OI, TVL, and especially Pro adoption, point to $3-4B+
Potential Point Valuation: $100+
Value per point = (FDV × Airdrop %) ÷ Total Points
Assuming ~9M total points and 25-30% initial airdrop (Team already said that they liked the HL distribution):
3B FDV = $83-$100 per point
4B FDV = $111-$133 per point
At $3-4B FDV, $100+ per point isn't hype, it's a probable outcome for a protocol redefining on-chain derivatives
