What Is the Bid-Ask Spread? Why Can Even a Seemingly Small Spread Keep Eroding Returns Through Frequent Trading?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus only on price movements while overlooking the spread between buying and selling. Even when market prices do not change significantly, frequent trading can still incur ongoing costs from spreads and fees, ultimately affecting actual returns.
First, what is the bid-ask spread?
The bid-ask spread is the difference between the market’s best ask price and best bid price. For example, if an asset’s best bid is 100 USDT and its best ask is 100.1

Tomorrow night at 21:30, the U.S. October nonfarm payrolls report comes out. Here are my thoughts
The market expects 65,000 jobs to be added, versus 29,000 previously, with the unemployment rate expected to hold at 4.2%. ADP added 86,000 jobs last night, above expectations, suggesting the U.S. labor market has not yet shown any clear signs of losing momentum
But the backdrop for this jobs report is a little different:
The Fed chose to pause rate hikes in October, and two officials even voted to continue raising rates. Market expectations for a December rate hike are already quite high

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

Congress Changes Hands; Crypto Investors Shouldn't Rush to Conclusions
In the same election, Bitcoin fell and then rose. Trading based only on news headlines can easily leave you getting hit from both sides.
After Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate, the market briefly worried that crypto regulations would tighten. But the November 4 price action didn't keep falling: BTC first dropped below $76k, then recovered its losses, and later that day climbed back above $80k.
There are two details to distinguish. First, the new Congress won't take office until January 2027, so policy w

$UNITREE LONG SETUP — BULLS HOLDING STRONG!
$UNITREE is consolidating near 99.13 after a powerful breakout. Buyers are defending the recent gains, keeping another upside move toward 101.90 in play.
Entry: 99.130
SL: 97.850
TP1: 99.900
TP2: 100.800
TP3: 101.900
Final Target: 103.000
Price is holding above its previous consolidation zone around 96.20. If buyers maintain control and push through 99.65, bullish momentum could accelerate toward the recent high.
Invalidation: A sustained break below 97.850 weakens the bullish setup.

🛡️ Gate Introduces PoSEC — Going Beyond Proof of Reserves
Having sufficient reserves matters. But how those assets are stored matters too.
Gate has introduced Proof of Security (PoSEC), a new framework bringing greater transparency to asset custody and risk coverage.
📊 104.58% cold storage coverage ratio
🔐 88.26% of stored assets held in cold storage
✅ Independent third-party verification underway
From PoR to PoSEC, Gate is taking another step toward more transparent and verifiable asset protection.

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.
