The fee rate difference between platforms is so large; frankly, it's still retail investors versus big players in a tug-of-war.

Why is the fee difference so big? Some platforms have fees that are 0.0068% higher than others... What are they playing at...

Why is there such a big disparity in platform fee rates? Why aren't they unified? It's each doing their own thing. Negative fee rates cut the shorts, positive fee rates cut the longs, and the middle is a nightmare. What should we do now? Check the fee rates on different platforms, and keep jumping back and forth. As expected, funding rates reverse quickly, but what's even faster is how fast I lose money.

With such differentiated fee rates, it shows that everyone really doesn't understand how ETH will move next.

Such a big difference in platform fees? Isn't this just arbitrage opportunity? Someone is secretly enjoying it.

The differences between platforms are so big? It feels like playing different games. If you want to buy the dip now, you need to choose the right platform; otherwise, you'll really suffer losses. Funding rates are just a barometer of market sentiment. The market is indeed very divided right now. But are negative rates still holding? It shows that some people are still not optimistic.
