The real cost of a bitcoin ETF: expense ratios, tracking error, and what holders actually
keep
Bitcoin ETFs charge fees that compound over years. This analysis runs the full arithmetic on expense ratios, tracking error, tax treatment, and self custody trade offs across all 11 U.S. spot funds.
BlackRock's IBIT charges a 0.25% annual expense ratio after its promotional waiver expired, meaning a $100,000 position loses $250 in the first year to fees alone, compounding to approximately $2,528 over ten years assuming the bitcoin price stays flat.

This time, I was utterly wrong and learned my lesson. More importantly, I truly learned some important things: it took one month to go from 50,000 to 40, but only a few hours to go from 400,000 to 50,000.

USD1 Futures: Why a Zero Maker Fee Changes Everything for Active Traders
By now, a lot of traders have noticed something unusual on Gate — the maker fee on USD1-margined perpetual futures is 0.00%. Not discounted. Not reduced by a small percentage. Zero. Flat out zero percent on every maker order, for every VIP tier from 0 all the way up to 16. And because this is a promotional offer that started on August 13, 2026, and runs until further notice, it is not a rounding error or a glitch — it is an official, deliberate fee structure designed to reward the people who prov

🚀 $ETH @Breaks through 2,300! Shorts are down $700 million, and even the whale couldn’t hold on!
Guys, ETH is seriously on fire this time! I just took a look at the market, and it shot straight up to $2,335, gaining more than 17% in 24 hours! With this explosive rally, shorts were crushed, and nearly $800 million was liquidated across the entire market over the past 4 hours. Shorts accounted for more than $700 million of that. Even the whale shorting ETH on Hyperliquid took a major hit, losing over $26 million in a single liquidation. Absolutely brutal!

🚨 $HYPE may be bigger than just a price move
Trump said CFTC Chair Mike Selig is working on bringing Hyperliquid into the U.S. through a compliant framework.
That could be the real story.
If a major onchain derivatives platform gets a clear path into the U.S., this could mark a bigger shift for DeFi and onchain trading.
Is $HYPE just reacting to the headline — or is the market pricing in something bigger?
