What Is the Funding Rate? Why Can Perpetual Contracts Incur Ongoing Holding Costs Even When Prices Barely Move?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus only on price movements after opening a position and overlook the funding rate. For perpetual contract traders, even if prices move sideways for an extended period, holding a position may still generate additional costs or returns as long as the funding rate is nonzero.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a mechanism through which longs and shorts in perpetual contracts make periodic payments to help keep contract prices c

I’m literally dying laughing. Some genius dad made an app to deal with little troublemakers, keeping kids from getting hooked on TV and games!
When a kid turns on the TV, a question pops up after 10 minutes (with over 4,000 questions for grades 0 through 9). Get it wrong, and they have to answer another question; get it right, and they get another ten minutes~
This not only adds interruptions while kids watch TV, but also helps them learn. Truly, the devil is a foot tall, and the righteous way is a foot tall too (GitHub, address FYI)~

What is the funding rate? Why can perpetual contracts continue to incur holding costs even when the price has barely changed?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus only on price movements after opening a position and overlook the funding rate. For perpetual contract traders, even if the price stays flat for a long time, holding a position may still generate additional costs or income as long as the funding rate is non-zero.

The funding rate is a mechanism in perpetual contracts through which longs and shorts periodically pay fees to each other, helping k

AI giants surged across the board, but companies pivoting from mining to AI got crushed! IREN fell over 11% last night; with earnings tonight, would you dare buy the dip?
On November 4, U.S. stocks saw a rather bizarre scene.
Microsoft rose 6.7%, Amazon rose 6.1%, and Google rose 3.2%.
Meanwhile, Hut 8 plunged 23%, IREN fell 11%, and Core Scientific fell 10%.
They’re all in the AI computing business, yet their stock prices went in opposite directions.
The reason has to do with policy expectations after the U.S. midterm elections. The market is concerned that new data centers will face stricter

Don’t wait for the wind to change. Trade within a range and lower your cost in stages, gradually easing the pressure on your position by sticking to rules.
Many people get stuck on the need to break even, always hoping to escape in one big rebound. The longer they hold on, the more passive they become. The key to getting out is to turn static holdings into dynamic positions, repeatedly trading around support and resistance to reduce your cost—not betting on a one-way move.
The market doesn’t owe you a rebound; all you can rely on is a response plan you can control.
Going forward, as always: se

With the U.S. midterm election results in, the crypto market has rebounded, with BTC climbing back to $80484, up 5.7% in 24 hours. About $950 million in crypto positions were liquidated across the market over the past 24 hours, including $560 million in short positions, triggering a clear short squeeze. The market is repricing regulatory expectations: with Democrats taking control of both the House and Senate, the odds of the original Clarity Act passing have declined. #Crypto #Bitcoin

#SK海力士跌近7% #美股财报季 The decline in storage and AI chip stocks this time was mainly due to profit-taking after a strong rally, prompted by the U.S. midterm election results. Storage demand itself has not noticeably weakened; the market is reassessing the pace of AI data center construction.
On November 5, SK Hynix fell about 6.7%, while Samsung Electronics also dropped nearly 6%.
Why it looks more like profit-taking
Big gains and crowded positioning: SK Hynix and Samsung were the stocks with the largest net foreign selling this year, as investors rebalanced their portfolios.

When I woke up this morning, I saw that semiconductors were all at lows, so without thinking much, I jumped into all five coins, hoping for a V-shaped rebound like yesterday😅. Instead, they pulled back quite a bit. Next time, I should only trade when it fits my trading system.

Beyond Proof of Reserves, Gate has introduced PoSEC, a new Proof of Security framework focused on how user assets are stored and protected. By disclosing the distribution of assets across cold storage and hot wallets, users can directly understand Gate’s storage structure and risk coverage under extreme scenarios. Gate’s latest cold storage coverage ratio stands at 104.58%, meaning cold-storage assets alone are sufficient to cover all user assets. PoR verifies whether reserves are sufficient, while PoSEC shows how assets are stored and how risks are covered — together forming a more complete asset security framework.
