What is the funding rate? Why can perpetual contracts continuously generate holding costs even when prices show no significant change?
In crypto 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, a nonzero funding rate may result in additional costs or returns while holding a position.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a mechanism through which longs and shorts in perpetual contracts make periodic payments to each other, with the aim of

Democrats Win Both Chambers of Congress: What It Means for Bitcoin, US Stocks, Oil and Gold
Step-by-step breakdown of the 2026 midterm result and its possible effects on markets
The 2026 US midterm elections have produced a significant political shift. Preliminary results and early reporting show that Democrats have won control of both chambers of the US Congress. Reporting from the Associated Press, carried by PBS NewsHour, described Democrats winning the House and taking unified control of Congress as a rebuke of the Trump administration. The Council o

Many people are unsure where Crypto is headed after the midterm elections, but Ajian’s view is that Democrats winning both the House and Senate is neither a sure-fire positive for Crypto nor an outright negative. The market tends to compress political outcomes into a single candle to trade—for example, yesterday’s sharp drop in $TRUMP —but the chain of effects through laws, institutions, and budgets moves much more slowly. Banks and payment companies won’t immediately halt financial infrastructure development just because political uncertainty has increased; they care more about where the comp

This is the first job related to my major that I've gotten since graduating from college
I majored in Lao. The police station caught a Lao criminal, so it was my turn to make a cameo as a temporary interpreter 🌚
It seems Laos doesn't have an exchange yet, but the place is so poor that it seems hardly anyone trades crypto.
When the time comes, wouldn't applying for a job put me ahead of the game?

Apparently, Micron scrapped plans for another fab in Taiwan because its union there was asking for too much in bonuses lol.
The fab was supposed to come online in 2028.
So that’s less supply hitting the market in 2028.

What Is a False Breakout? How Can You Distinguish a Brief Price Break from a Breakout That May Lead to a New Trend?
In crypto trading, many people rush to buy when the price breaks through a key resistance level, and rush to short when it falls below support. But sometimes the price only briefly moves beyond a key level before quickly returning to its original range. This phenomenon is called a false breakout and is one of the risks traders can easily overlook.
First, what is a false breakout?
A false breakout occurs when the price briefly breaks through a support or resistance level but fails

$ETH Still wondering whether to buy? The direction is already clear: a drop back to the former resistance level at 2388 is the dividing line. If buyers hold it, the price could head for 2547; if they don’t, don’t try to catch a falling knife. Among similar public blockchains, its chart structure is the cleanest this time around. While others are still building a bottom, it has already broken out of its descending channel. During the sideways stretch before the halving $BTC , capital tended to flow into assets with this kind of clear-cut rhythm. Decide for yourself whether to get in—don’t wait

I trash-talk Kimi every day, but it seems like it actually handles these little tasks just fine.

Last week, while having tea and chatting with a friend, I heard a newcomer to the crypto scene vent. He stayed up until midnight every day watching the charts and poring over all kinds of materials. He felt like he was doing plenty of homework, but it was still hard to keep his account steady—he’d make a little money, only to lose it again soon after.
I thought of Li, whom I’d met before. He started out the same way. He’d trade back and forth with the 20,000 he had, rush to take profits after making even a little, and stubbornly hold on whenever he was stuck in a losing position, always hoping

Gate has officially launched Proof of Security, or PoSEC, extending beyond Proof of Reserves by disclosing the distribution of cold-storage and hot-wallet assets and introducing a cold storage coverage ratio to measure protection under extreme-risk scenarios. Gate’s latest cold storage coverage ratio stands at 104.58%, with 88.26% of assets in cold storage and 11.74% in hot wallets. A coverage ratio of at least 100% means cold-storage assets alone would still be sufficient to cover all user assets even if hot-wallet assets were fully lost. Exchange security is not only about whether reserves are sufficient, but also how assets are stored and protected under extreme conditions. Could cold storage coverage become a new industry standard?[👉 Learn more](https://gate.com/proof-of-security)
