USD1 Contracts Start “Toll-Free,” but the Real Battlefield Is Liquidity
Gate’s launch of zero maker fees for USD1 contracts may appear to reduce trading costs for traders, but looking deeper, it is more like a battle for liquidity.
Why? Because one of the core competitive advantages of a trading platform is market depth. If the bids and asks in an order book are sparse, even a somewhat larger order can instantly push the price around. If the order book is sufficiently deep, orders can be matched more smoothly, naturally resulting in a better user experience.
Zero maker fees can stimulate more

$SKYAI has been trading sideways around 0.0754 for 6 hours, with $24 million in 24h volume. This bullish candle is the real deal. I’m betting it can touch 0.086 today; if I’m wrong, I’ll wash my hair upside down on livestream tomorrow—bring screenshots to prove me wrong.
This 9.9% rise wasn’t driven by retail traders; the share of large-order buys surged to 62%, clearly showing smart money accumulating. 0.0686 is a rock-solid floor—the market makers’ shakeout couldn’t break through it. Getting in now is like picking up cheap chips.
Remember the strategy: enter with a small position at the cur

$CBRS The lower wick 15 minutes ago dipped to 221 before rebounding to 252, scaring retail traders into cutting their losses while we were merely rotating positions. 24-hour trading volume reached $71 million, with the volume ratio nearly tripling. If you don’t enter now, are you waiting to be carried in above 260?
Market makers never focus on single-day gains or losses; they only look at the distribution of cost basis—the turnover around 252 now accounts for 70%, clearly the upper boundary of the accumulation zone.
The strategy is clear enough: go long on a pullback to 245–248, set a stop-los

Bitcoin is overall showing a volatile rebound and upward trend. The rebound began from the low around 62666 early this morning, and during the volatile climb, it gradually broke through the resistance from the short-term moving averages, reaching a high around 64358, with an intraday gain of over 2% as bullish rebound momentum was gradually released. Ethereum's movement is highly correlated with Bitcoin, also beginning an upward recovery from the lows and steadily following the rise throughout, highlighting strong market linkage amid broad gains across major cryptocurrencies.

Shorts Got “Reverse-Launched”: Who Is the Real Force Behind SpaceX’s Explosive Rebound?
The most important thing to study about SpaceX’s rebound is not how much it rose, but why its stock suddenly began accelerating despite the market’s previously extreme concerns.
From a low of approximately $104.83 in early August, SpaceX quickly rebounded to around $140, a gain of more than 30%, with its interim high briefly approaching $150.
Behind this, one role that cannot be overlooked is that of short sellers.
During the early stages of SpaceX’s listing, the number of shares available for trading was r

@grok what really happened to internet-computer:native ‘a CaffeineAI, i was hoping once it goes live it would increase CBR which would end up burning more ICP tokens and potentially make ICP deflationary which would then make the price of ICP increase,
Was i wrong 🤔

The points arms race has begun: trading platforms are turning “activity” into a new asset
Gate’s event points system has gone live, and the logic behind it is worth noting. In the past, trading platforms competed for users mainly through fees, promotional rewards, launch speed, and product features; now, more and more platforms are exploring one question: how to keep users around and continuously engaged.
The points mechanism addresses this problem perfectly.
For users, the biggest appeal of points is not the numbers themselves, but the “sense of accumulation.” A single trade may not feel sign
