Why Can High Funding Rates Make Long-Term Positions Increasingly Expensive?

Many cryptocurrency traders focus on BTC price movements but overlook another factor that can continuously affect trading results: funding rates.

You may correctly predict the market and have a temporarily profitable position, but if you hold a perpetual contract for a long time, ongoing funding payments can still erode your final returns.

Your directional view determines the profit or loss from price movements, while funding rates can continuously affect the cost of holding a position.

It reduces reliance on some traditional intermediaries and gives users more direct control over their assets.

But many people focus only on yields, reward tokens, and capital efficiency, while overlooking a key question:

When you no longer rely on traditional intermediaries, who bears the risks involving the protocol, funds, and operations?

Waller, before the print: hike in December even if inflation comes in cool.
October CPI: 0.4%. The forecast was 0.3%.
Waller, also: a hot print could justify 50bp.
Bitcoin was $74,300 before the number. It's $73,200 now.
The data didn't change the plan. It just signed it.

The market initially expected Anthropic’s valuation to reach $2 trillion
It was later gradually lowered to $1.2 trillion to $1.4 trillion. Now the official valuation is around $1 trillion, which has cooled the market
At this $1 trillion IPO pricing, will it still pop on its first day of trading?

Sometimes, an official-looking website, an enthusiastic customer support DM, or even an apparently free airdrop can become an entry point for risk.

What should truly raise concern is that many scams don't directly target technology, but exploit people's trust, greed, fear, and sense of urgency.
