What is the bid-ask spread? Why can even a seemingly small spread continually erode returns through frequent trading?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus only on price movements and overlook the spread between buying and selling. Even when market prices barely change, frequent trading can rack up costs from spreads and fees, ultimately reducing actual returns.
First, what is the bid-ask spread?
The bid-ask spread is the difference between the best ask price and the best bid price in the market. For example, if an asset’s best bid is 100 USDT and its best ask is 100.10 USDT, the spread

🪔 HAPPY DIWALI FROM #SharkExchange! 🦈
A big thank you to the #SharkExchange Team for this beautiful Diwali surprise and continued support. ❤️
Wishing the entire Shark family happiness, prosperity and great success! ✨
Here’s to growing stronger together! 🚀
Team Crypto Aman❤️
Guys, lately my feed has been full of hype about AI trading crypto—claims that AI can help you find 100x coins and has a 90% win rate.
Honestly, I’m not convinced.
So I’m going to test it myself. I’ll teach AI my trading approach from the past few years, one point at a time, and see whether it can make accurate calls after learning it—and what its win rate is.
I’ve put together a small team: three Claudes to keep an eye on each other and point out each other’s flaws; a Grok to play devil’s advocate; and a WorkBuddy to keep the books, watch the market, and run errands. I’ve set the AIs up in a

Is SNDK at $1,010 a golden opportunity or a meat grinder?
Revenue surged 378%, EPS beat expectations, and the company announced an 8-for-1 stock split—yet the stock fell 27% in a week, with perpetual futures tumbling straight to 1010. Just now, the funding rate is still positive, and longs remain crowded. Is this a golden opportunity in AI storage, or a classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” slaughterhouse?
First, the surface picture: earnings were explosive, but the stock got crushed.
October 29 earnings: revenue of $11.03 billion, up 378% year over year; gross margin of 85.1%; EPS of $49.51—

Revenue-generating DeFi tokens have significantly outperformed the market.
Since the beginning of 2026, a basket of 17 top DeFi tokens (including $HYPE , $LIT , $AERO , $AAVE , $ENA , etc.) has outperformed BTC by more than double.
There has never been a better time to bet on projects with strong fundamentals. The market is finally paying for real cash flow, and the cryptocurrency market is gradually returning to fundamentals from its previous hype narrative, indicating that the market is starting to enter a positive cycle.
Therefore, when investing in knock-off products, we should focus on project

After using AI extensively, my speech slowed down, and my thought process seemed to rust.
Using AI is about outsourcing physical labor, not outsourcing thinking.
This is so important...
There are many things that AI cannot do.
Just like eating, eating sweets can bring feelings of happiness and satisfaction.
But a simple, everyday diet is what's truly beneficial to your health.

We’ve seen a strong reaction from the range lows, with price now trading just above the EMA bands across the major timeframes. However, the 81.2K range highs are proving to be a key area of resistance, with price currently struggling to reclaim them.
For bulls to maintain control and prevent a rotation back towards the range lows, we need to see the EMA bands hold on any retest, followed by a successful reclaim of the range highs.
Personally, I’m not interested in looking for shorts whilst price continues to trade above the key EMA levels. Despite the rejection at range highs

In my view, while U.S. policy expectations will be the primary factor influencing Bitcoin’s next major move, leveraged liquidations will play a key role in determining the intensity of that move.
I see three key factors:
1. U.S. policy expectations – The primary driver. Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation data, monetary policy, and regulatory developments can all impact institutional demand, liquidity, and the overall appetite for risk assets. A more favorable policy environment could support a sustainable BTC rally.
2. Leveraged liquidations – A short-term accel

XRP long positions remain firmly held. Price broke above the moving-average cluster on increased volume, with EMA7 crossing above EMA20/EMA60 to form a bullish alignment. As long as the retest holds above 1.3055, price is gathering strength for another run at the previous high of 1.3414.
Market: After bottoming at 1.2002, the 4H chart staged a V-shaped rally. Price is now 1.3197 (intraday +2.83%, 7-day +2.21%, showing renewed strength), with 24H trading volume surging to 2.36 billion. EMA7 (1.3055) crossed above EMA20 (1.2858)/EMA60 (1.2809), forming a bullish alignment. Pri

Texas’s newly elected governor has proposed pausing data center construction until new regulations are introduced. Texas is a major hub for data center expansion, and if projects are delayed, chip and memory purchases could also get pushed back.

What is slippage? Why isn’t the price you see when placing an order necessarily the final execution price?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people see one price when placing an order, only to find that the actual price is different after the trade executes. This phenomenon is commonly known as slippage. It may seem like just a small price difference, but in highly volatile markets, large trades, or leveraged trading, it can significantly affect trading costs and the final outcome.
First, what is slippage?
Slippage is the difference between the expected execution price and the actual execution p

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.
