Paper gains mean nothing until you actually exit the position—that's where real money gets made. The gap between unrealized P&L and what hits your wallet is where most traders slip up. Decentralized market makers that operate across different market segments play a crucial role here: they maintain sufficient liquidity pools so traders can actually execute profitable positions at scale without massive slippage. When you've got a winning trade, you need the infrastructure to cash out immediately—not wait for some arbitrary resolution date. Robust AMM infrastructure means profit-taking happens on your timeline, not the protocol's.
