USD1 Contracts Start “Toll-Free,” but the Real Battlefield Is Liquidity
Gate’s launch of zero maker fees for USD1 contracts may appear to reduce trading costs for traders, but looking deeper, it is more like a battle for liquidity.
Why? Because one of the core competitive advantages of a trading platform is market depth. If the bids and asks in an order book are sparse, even a somewhat larger order can instantly push the price around. If the order book is sufficiently deep, orders can be matched more smoothly, naturally resulting in a better user experience.
Zero maker fees can stimulate more

$PI hasn't updated the blocks for 3 hours, so I conclude that the project team has run off.

$CYS Down 46% in half an hour, crashing directly from 0.8686 to 0.4332, with 200 million in volume and no buyers. Buying the dip here means catching a falling knife, while chasing shorts means courting disaster; discipline means waiting for right-side confirmation. The current price of 0.4580 is just above the low, and a rebound without volume is simply a bull trap. There is only one plan: wait for it to break below 0.4332 and then observe, or act only after it reclaims above 0.52 with heavy volume. Entry at 0.52, stop-loss at 0.485, first target at 0.62, with a 20% position. I’m currently fla

The suspension of US-Iran negotiations only serves as a backstop against a sharp decline. There is no new strong bullish catalyst to drive gold prices higher. The long-term bullish factors for US Treasuries have already been priced in, and with overseas officials’ speeches approaching later tonight, funds are generally staying on the sidelines. The willingness to enter at high levels is weak, leaving little short-term upside momentum and making a choppy pullback more likely.

After a round of strong gains, the daily chart remains at a high level, with indicators entering overbought territory.

INSIGHT: Japan's listed companies expect net profit to rise 14% in FY27, up from initial 5% forecast.

7800 Points Breached! The S&P 500 Didn’t Just “Test the High”—It Tore the Ceiling Off
The S&P 500’s first break above 7800 points has undoubtedly added another “high-altitude record” to the 2026 U.S. stock market rally. On August 13, the S&P 500 briefly touched 7816.70 points intraday, breaking above the 7800-point milestone for the first time, before ultimately closing around 7798.99 points; it took just 7 trading days to move from breaking 7700 points to challenging 7800 points.
The biggest features of this rally are its speed and relatively clear logic. The market had previously worried abo

The points arms race has begun: trading platforms are turning “activity” into a new asset
Gate’s event points system has gone live, and the logic behind it is worth noting. In the past, trading platforms competed for users mainly through fees, promotional rewards, launch speed, and product features; now, more and more platforms are exploring one question: how to keep users around and continuously engaged.
The points mechanism addresses this problem perfectly.
For users, the biggest appeal of points is not the numbers themselves, but the “sense of accumulation.” A single trade may not feel sign

Fees set directly to zero—the trader’s abacus can finally stop clacking so loudly
In contract trading, fees are like air: they may seem insignificant, but they are everywhere. This is especially true for high-frequency traders. A single trade may not incur much cost, but after dozens or hundreds of trades a day, fees can quietly become a “profit-sharing partner.”
Therefore, Gate’s launch of zero maker fees for USD1 contracts is primarily notable for reducing trading friction.
For traders using limit orders, placing orders itself provides liquidity to the market. Reducing fees to zero is equiva

From $104 to $140: Is SpaceX a stock, or has it boarded a Falcon 9?
SpaceX’s recent stock performance has already given many investors a fresh understanding of the words “high volatility.” In early August, the stock hit a low of around $104.83 before quickly rebounding to near $140, a gain of more than 30% over the period. Some market statistics have even described the rebound as approaching 40%.
This move was not simply because “everyone suddenly became bullish on SpaceX.” In reality, the market experienced a typical reversal in expectations.
Previously, investors were most concerned about tw

S&P 500 Above 7,800: Record High, Strong Earnings, But the Next Test Is Different
The S&P 500 has crossed a level that looked distant only a short time ago.
On August 13, the index pushed above 7,800 for the first time and reached an intraday record around 7,816.7. It later closed at 7,798.99, just below the psychological 7,800 mark. By August 17, however, the index had pulled back to 7,745.06 as rising oil prices and weaker economic data introduced a new layer of uncertainty.
That sequence is important.
Breaking 7,800 was a major momentum event, but holding the

USD1 Futures Zero Maker Fee: Gate Is Building a Cross-Market USD1 Ecosystem
Gate’s latest USD1 expansion is worth looking at beyond the headline of “0% maker fees.”
The fee promotion is certainly attractive from a trading-cost perspective, but the more important development is the broader role USD1 is beginning to play across Gate’s ecosystem.
Starting August 13, 2026, Gate introduced nine new USD1-margined perpetual futures markets alongside a promotional fee structure for eligible VIP 0–VIP 16 users. During the promotion, maker fees on the eligible contracts are set
