Why can following the crowd be more dangerous when funding rates are high?

In the cryptocurrency market, when a coin keeps rising, discussions on social platforms grow increasingly heated, and perpetual contract funding rates continue to climb, many traders may think: Since so many people are bullish, there may still be an opportunity to follow now.

But the more crowded the market gets, the more important it is to pay attention to risk. High funding rates are not a certain signal that the market is about to reverse, but they may remind us that holding costs and market expectations have chang

Gate isn't playing around this time! Putting fund security front and center, users say: That's how it should be!

#Gate pioneers proof of fund security
In the past, shopping meant comparing prices across stores; now, choosing a crypto trading platform means comparing security across platforms! 😂
After all, that string of numbers on your phone isn't game currency—it's real money.
Gate pioneered proof of fund security, making platform fund transparency a focal point of discussion.
Why is this worth paying attention to?
Because users need more than just an entry point for trading; they also need

#质押Launchpool瓜分45万VLX Gate Launchpool Session 386 is here: Stake BTC, ETH, or VLX to share 4,545,460 ValueX (VLX), with an estimated maximum annualized return of 47.40%.

The numbers look enticing. But today I want to talk about something less enticing—three questions you need to think through first.

I. 47.40% is an annualized peak estimate, not what you’ll actually earn
Launchpool’s annualized return is an extrapolated figure. Here’s a classic industry comparison: a 7-day campaign advertises a 300% annualized return, but the actual return is only about 5.75%—because annualization simply mul

AKE has been extremely volatile since its initial listing; this coin keeps taking my money.

What Is a Funding Rate? Why Can Holding a Perpetual Contract Continue to Incur Extra Costs?

In the cryptocurrency market, some traders get the direction right but find that their final returns are lower than expected. Besides fees and slippage, there is another easily overlooked factor: the funding rate.

The funding rate is a mechanism in perpetual futures markets that helps keep contract prices linked to spot market prices. It can affect holding costs and whether traders are willing to hold a position in a particular direction for a long time.

First, what exactly is a funding rate?

After $XRP ’s oversold signal appears, what’s really missing isn’t sentiment—it’s a confirmed bottom

$XRP is currently priced at 1.1784, down 3.1080414405525447% over 24 hours, with an intraday high of 1.2229 and low of 1.1723. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends are both weak, indicating that selling pressure has not automatically ended just because the decline has deepened. The volume ratio is 0.12857813725612088, and market participation is low. This makes a technical rebound more likely on relatively little capital, but that does not mean the structure has reversed. Oversold describes a condition

What is the crypto world most afraid of? Not a market crash, but a platform that only knows how to say “Don’t worry”!

#Gate Pioneers Proof of Fund Security
There’s a saying in crypto: When prices rise, you think you’re an investing genius; when they fall, you question your life choices. 🤣
But what concerns people more than market volatility is the security of funds on the platform.
If a platform says “Don’t worry, we’re completely safe” every day, users can only reply: Where’s the proof? You can’t expect me to deposit based on faith!
That’s why Gate’s pioneering proof of fund security is def
