🎁 Free airdrops—are they really cost-free?
Some scams don’t steal directly from your wallet. Instead, they first lure you in with high-value rewards, then trick you into connecting your wallet, signing malicious approvals, or even transferring funds upfront.
Before participating in an airdrop, remember these 5 points:
🔹 Verify the campaign through official channels
🔹 Check the website URL and contract address
🔹 Read every signature request and approval carefully
🔹 Beware of deposits and unreasonable fees
🔹 Never reveal your seed phrase or private key
⚠️ No matter how professional the pag

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

What Is Open Interest (OI)? Why Doesn’t an Increase in Open Interest Necessarily Mean Prices Will Rise Soon?
In crypto derivatives trading, many people see open interest continue to rise and assume the market is about to move up. But open interest reflects the size of contracts that have not yet been closed, not simply buying capital. To correctly understand market movements, OI must be analyzed alongside price, trading volume, and funding rates.
First, what is OI?
Open interest (OI) refers to the total number of contracts that remain open at a given point in time. OI may increase when new con

Sigh, this kind of news is actually all bullish for hardware; the money saved just goes toward buying hardware. Unfortunately, nobody cares about this stuff anymore, and it doesn’t matter now. With the Democrats waving the flag of halting data centers, these positives have instead become noise 🫠🫠

$NEAR Currently at 4.026, 24H -0.45% (3.965–4.273). 1H is relatively strong: RSI 55.81, with the current price above the 1H EMA20 at 4.0248; 4H is relatively weak: RSI 61.08, with the current price below the 4H EMA20 at 4.0271. The 1H volume ratio is 0.016, indicating very low participation. If the price holds above the 4.273 resistance level, watch for continuation; if it breaks below the 3.965 support level, it may weaken in the short term. In the next review, check whether 4.273 holds and whether the price can recover after losing 3.965. The two timeframes remain divergent, and short-term c

The storage sector has been hit really hard this time, and I’m starting to get itchy trigger fingers. $SNDK SanDisk has plunged straight to around 1000, while $MU Micron and $SKHYNIX SK Hynix have also been dragged down. The demand logic for AI storage is sound; the problem is that prices had surged too much beforehand, already pricing in several years of growth expectations. So this beating isn’t entirely undeserved. But still, after falling this far, shouldn’t we at least get a decent rebound? SanDisk is currently forming a base around 1000, and I’m tempted to try a small position. In the sh

Next Technology allowed to sell 5,833 BTC worth $450M
Next Technology Holding, a Japanese software company listed on Nasdaq, has received board approval to sell a portion or all of its ~5,833 BTC, or use the entire position as collateral to raise capital. At the price of Bitcoin at the time of disclosure, the holdings are valued at roughly $449–$450 million.
The approval does not mean Bitcoin has been sold. CEO Weihong Liu has the authority to decide the timing, volume, and price of any transactions. The company may sell BTC on exchanges, execute over-the-counter deals, or use the assets as co

Safe-haven bid pushes gold back above 4,100 as macro risks are reassessed.
XAUUSD trades at 4,122.98 to 4,134.04 in late session, up 62.62 or 1.54% on day. Open 4,064.14, high 4,146.92, low 4,057.83, prior close 4,060.35. Other feeds show high 4,146.90, low 4,057.92, close near 4,063.92, with intraday high 4,146.97 and low 4,109.18. Gold at 4,116.35 up 51.06 or 1.26% and at 4,138.84 up 80.82 or 1.99% in some prints. The move puts price back over key 4,100 mark after weeks of soft trade.

BTC: Standard-adjusted MVRV band (4Y rolling window)
The MVRV is calibrated using a four-year rolling mean and standard deviation to compare valuation pressures, support tests, and bubble levels across different cycles. The four-year rolling standardization allows BTC cycles at different stages of maturity to be compared on the same scale: the mean and overall standard deviation are calculated for the most recent 1,460 daily observations, and the Z-score indicates how many standard deviations the current MVRV is from its own four-year mean, thus reducing cross-cycle

The same day Trump lost both houses of Congress, California was already going poly?
In West Hollywood, near Los Angeles, the City Council unanimously passed a new rule: groups of three, four, or even more people can register as “partners” with the city, as long as they’re consenting and not related by blood.
They don’t even have to be local residents—people from elsewhere can go register, too. The lawyer behind the effort says this is just the first step.
The Democrats have only just won. I wonder what comes next?🤡

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?

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.
