SAND rose 22.4% in one hour this afternoon. A common way to read it is: the contract’s trading value is 7.7 times that of the spot, and it was pushed up by leveraged longs. But Binance’s own data shows the opposite picture—in this round, perpetual contracts have been trading cheaper than spot.
For the 15:00 hourly candle, Binance perpetuals closed at 0.05890 and spot closed at 0.06067—2.9% lower for the contract. For the 16:00 candle, it was 2.1% lower. Before that, across the previous 27 hours, the gap between the two sides never exceeded 0.25%. At 17:08, I pulled it up again: mark price was 0.06131 and index price 0.06308—the contract was still 2.8% lower. The index is a weighted average of spot prices from five exchanges, and Binance spot accounts for 58.8%. The 24-hour gain also had spot leading: spot +44.3% vs. contracts +40.3%.
When contract longs are pushing, contracts should trade higher than spot. If contracts are cheaper, it means the side that’s rushing to sell is more aggressive than the side rushing to buy. The spot price is what’s yanking things up, and the contract follows afterward.
The funding rate follows that discount. The settlement at 16:00 was -0.47%, and the estimate at just after 17:00 was -1.06%, with settlement at 00:00. A negative funding rate means shorts pay longs; those shorts stay in the contract to short, paying about 1% of the position value every 8 hours.
Open interest rose even more sharply in these two hours: the 15:00 snapshot was 175 million SAND, and at 17:00 it was 292 million—up 66.6%. New positions are opened as one long and one short pairing, so you can’t tell who initiated just by looking. But these positions were executed at prices where the contract was about 3% cheaper than spot, and where shorts also had to “top up” the funding rate. My inference is that the side that actively opened positions looks more like they were shorting against spot rather than chasing longs. This is only an inference—an API won’t tell you who opened each individual order.
Large trading volume and large price increase don’t necessarily mean contract longs are pushing. For this stretch of SAND today, the side that was cheaper (the contract) was the one being dragged along. Reading it as “too crowded on the leveraged long side, so you need to kill the longs with longs” doesn’t hold as a premise.

A coin hangs on the 24-hour gainers list, and people often misread it as “everyone who’s inside makes money on this day.” The USDT perpetual of Lobster is a counterexample today: on the gainers list it’s still showing a positive number, but about 80% of the day’s trading volume was executed at prices higher than where it is now.
At 11:08 Beijing time, I saw: 24-hour change +38.5%, latest price 0.05354, with a low of 0.03357 and a high of 0.11396. Just half a minute earlier, my other readout was still 0.05087—the price jumps every second, and using the same percentage-change formula at a different time would give a different result.
The up/down move is only between two points: the current price and the price at that moment 24 hours ago. It doesn’t care what happened in between. Looking at the hourly K-line, this contract accelerated starting yesterday afternoon. At 7 this morning, it touched the high—about 3.4 times the low. Then from 8 to 10, over three hours, it slid from 0.11024 down to 0.05284. The price at the moment I read was 53.0% lower than the peak.
The same interface also provides the volume-weighted average price, around 0.0756, which is 95.4% higher than the opening price 24 hours ago. Compared with that, the current price is 29.1% lower. A more intuitive method: from 18:00 yesterday to 9:00 this morning—16 straight hours—each hour’s low was higher than the current price. Trading over those 16 hours was about $532 million, accounting for 80.1% of the whole day’s $664 million.
One more step of inference needs to be made clear: for a perpetual, every trade has both a buy and a sell. Buying at a high price might have been buying into the flat (a “short-cover” in the margin sense) or it might have already been sold and exited earlier—the K-line can’t tell which. What can be determined is only this: most of the turnover on this day occurred above the current price. Long positions opened there and still held to this point are, on paper, at a loss.
So that number on the gainers list describes only one person: “bought 24 hours ago, sells right now.” For a contract that ran from low to high more than three times within the same day, that person almost doesn’t exist. The volume-weighted average price is much closer to the cost basis of most participants on that day.

What opportunities can you “farm” on Binance today | 10.2
Today there are 4 new ones, but not many are truly hands-on—one of them ends the day after tomorrow.
USD1 positions—WLFI renewal split until 10/30, with the first phase due by 10/16. Last week’s APR was about 5%; with $1,000 for a year it’s about $50, with no cap. If you already hold USD1, just keeping it still is essentially earning.
Alpha CT trading competition—first click Join. Only the buy volume counts. For the top 2,000 participants, each gets 129 CT. At the 9/30 price, that’s about $50. There’s a 3x multiplier for Day 1–2. If you were already doing Alpha, today and tomorrow are the most cost-effective. Phase 1 runs from 10/8, and throughout it finishes by 10/15.
Hurry—ending soon: Wallet Trade & Win S7 (Arc chain) ends at 10/4 08:00 Beijing time. If you’ve already participated, you must close your positions by 10/3; only realized PnL locked to $10+ counts. If you haven’t entered yet, there isn’t enough time left. Back to Markets Class ends today 10/2 at 23:59 UTC.
These rewards are all in crypto, not cash: the 5% from USD1 is in WLFI; the CT competition pays in CT; and that $50 is based on the 9/30 price—not the price on the day you receive it.
Risk reminder: NEAR Intents was hacked for $3.8 million. Deposits/withdrawals on BSC and other chains are paused for about 12 hours. During the time you can’t cross-chain via NEAR Intents, you won’t be able to complete the transfer. The de-peg risk of USD1 is higher than USDT.

There is a chart of “active buy/sell volume” on the Binance futures data page. When the market suddenly spikes, a common interpretation is that the aggressive buy side overwhelms the sell side. However, MOVRUSDT perpetual is a counterexample—while the price nearly doubles, the active buy and active sell volumes are almost the same.
Using hourly candlesticks: from 11:00 yesterday to 11:00 today Beijing time, MOVR perpetual rose 92.9%. In these 24 hours, aggressive buys accounted for 50.7% of the total trading value. No hour exceeded 53.2%. Converting it to the buy/sell ratio shown on that chart, the day’s peak is 1.14. The most dramatic move was at 16:00 yesterday—price jumped 15.3%, yet the aggressive buy share was only 51.9%.
In the same period for BTCUSDT perpetual: aggressive buy share was 50.0%, and the price moved only 0.1%. But it has one hour where aggressive buy share surged to 57.5%—more buyer-leaning than any hour of MOVR—yet that hour’s price rose only 0.3%.
If you convert the shares into net amounts, it becomes clear: over the past 24 hours, MOVR’s aggressive buys exceeded aggressive sells by about $13.11 million, while BTC’s exceeded by about $9.68 million. The net buying amounts are of the same order of magnitude—one doubled the price, and the other barely moved it. The difference lies on the other side: with the same net amount of orders being “eaten,” BTC’s resting orders got filled/accepted, while MOVR’s did not. This step is a conclusion—candlesticks only record the one side that got taken (“eaten”). They don’t show how many resting orders were canceled or how many were replenished; that information isn’t visible in this dataset.
So the buy/sell ratio can’t measure the strength of a whole wave of a sudden surge. What drives price is the ratio of net “eaten” order size to the thickness of the counterparty order book. Even if buys and sells are evenly split on a thin book, the price can still be pushed up by a factor of two.

What profit opportunities are available on Binance today | 10.1
Today there are 5 new ones, but most are wrap-ups; only one is newly opened and worth doing specifically.
PUMP Trading Tournament: prize pool of 50 million PUMP tokens, ending at 10/7 10:00 UTC. The threshold is $500 in trading volume, with a cost of less than $1. The distribution is proportional for the tail end, with a per-person cap of 6,800 PUMP (about $40). With a cost under $1, you can exchange for up to $40 worth of tokens. Among the newly opened options, only this one’s accounting really works out.
Time-sensitive:
VTHO Tournament ends today at 18:00 Beijing time. If you’re already inside and haven’t reached $500 yet, you can still top up to make it; new entrants won’t have enough time.
USD1 to be shared among WLFI ends on 10/2. The extension announcement hasn’t been released yet. If it isn’t extended, converting back to USDT and keeping it in the regular account yields 7%.
Wallet Trade & Win S7 (Arc) ends on 10/4. Only realized P&L counts; you need to be above $10—unrealized gains don’t count.
Risk reminder: On 10/2, the AUCTION and VANA USDC trading pairs are being delisted, along with leveraged trading for 8 other coins at the same time. If you have open orders, grids, or leveraged positions on any of these coins, you need to handle them today.
Also, Alpha has opened two competitions for O and COAI. The O threshold hasn’t been announced yet. If you’re already doing Alpha, you can do it along the way—no need to make a special trip.

Also, Alpha has opened two competitions for O and COAI. The O threshold hasn’t been announced yet. If you’re already doing Alpha, you can do it along the way—no need to make a special trip.

Starting from 20:00 tonight, Binance will add seven bStocks tokenized stock tokens to the collateral list for Portfolio Margin and the Unified Account. Many people will casually assume by default: these tokens can be traded 24/7, and their collateral value will be calculated based on the order book price and updated throughout the day. Then, if the spot price jumps over the weekend, the margin level will jump accordingly.
But the official document “bStocks Tokenized Securities Collateral Index Price Methodology” that Binance released does not say it works that way: during weekends, holidays, and daily maintenance windows, the index price “will refer to the last valid price from the most recent US stock trading session, until the next trading session begins.” During market closure, changes in the Binance spot order book—up or down—are not recognized by the margin system.
Last weekend’s INTWB is a perfect example of why it doesn’t recognize it. On Saturday morning, before the US market closed for the day, INTWB’s last trade on Binance was 33.10. On Sunday it was pushed all the way to 36.30—up 9.7%. But throughout the entire weekend, the single hour with the most trades had only 472 transactions. On Monday morning, trading suddenly expanded—by 10:00 that hour already had 8,067 trades. By midday the price had fallen to 30.99, which is 6.4% lower than Saturday’s close. That weekend’s apparent upside was “negotiated” by a thin order book—once real quotes came back, it disappeared.
There’s one part that’s an inference: the collateral index doesn’t provide historical data. I can’t see the exact number it paused at last weekend; I can only deduce it from the rule text. What can be directly tested is the trading session: at 17:11 Beijing time—after the US market was already open beforehand—TSLAB spot was 354.05, the collateral index was 353.90, a difference of 0.04%. In the batch of stock tokens I’m holding, the one with the largest deviation was only 0.7%.
So if you use bStocks as collateral, the weekend order book movements are just noise for margin: they won’t liquidate you because of it, and they won’t increase your available margin额度 either. Risk hasn’t disappeared—it’s just being saved up until the next open, where everything gets revalued in one go.

What opportunities can you take advantage of on Binance today | 9.30
Today there are 4 new ones, but only the ALGO one is truly worth doing specifically. The rest are either expiring soon or have been delisted reminders.
ALGO Spot Tournament: a 200,000 USDT voucher pool, ending 10/6 10:00 UTC. After registering, buy $250 worth of ALGO/USDC and then sell it—one buy and one sell is enough to meet the $500 threshold. The cost is under $1. The allocation is proportional at the tail end, with a per-person cap of 30 USDT. With a cost of under $1, you can get up to 30 USDT in share—this is the most worthwhile deal today.
Hurry—nearly expiring: VTHO Spot Tournament ends 10/1 10:00 UTC. You only have about 33 hours left. If you haven’t reached the $500 threshold, you can top up together with ALGO. USD1 position will be settled for WLFI this round ending 10/2—whether it will continue hasn’t been announced yet. The AI Trading Desk content contest ends today at 23:59 UTC, with 20 people sharing 2000 USDT. The submission entry isn’t clearly stated—follow the official wording as written.
Risk reminder: On 10/2, the AUCTION/USDC and VANA/USDC spot pairs are being delisted. Also, 8 other coins are being delisted for leverage. If you have open orders, grid trading, or positions, handle them in advance. Base will pause deposits and withdrawals tonight at 17:00 UTC.

What we dismantled yesterday was trading volume: it’s flow, not new money. Today they talk about existing balance. Shouldn’t open interest be basically the positions “left on the field”? And it also depends on the unit. Today on Binance Futures, MARSCOIN and NMR both rose by more than 30%; the dollar value of positions on both sides rose too, so it’s easy to read it as the same thing: new money coming in, and leverage increasing. But if you look in terms of coin count, they’re exactly opposite on the two sides.
The 24-hour percentage change read at 11:07 Beijing time: MARSCOINUSDT +30.2%, NMRUSDT +43.5%; after that, it may still drift. The open interest uses Binance’s published hourly records; the comparison is between yesterday at 11 a.m. and today at 11 a.m., two round-hour points.
For MARSCOIN, the start-to-end ratio is 1:1 in terms of coin count? Actually: the position value went from $23.84 million to $30.73 million—up 28.9%; but the coin quantity fell from 201 million coins to 199 million coins—down 1.2%. Dividing the position value by coin quantity at the two time points implies the price rose 30.4%, and almost the entire increase in value is propped up by price. It also wasn’t that nobody came in: yesterday at 3 p.m., the coin count briefly reached 220 million, up 9.6% from the starting point, but later it was closed off again. With $255 million in trading volume, the positions left at the end are pretty much the same as at the start.
NMR is the opposite: coin count rose from 218,000 to 713,000—3.3x; position value rose from $2.22 million to $10.36 million—4.7x. Here there really is new positioning. But when open interest increases, long and short appear as a matched pair; an increase in coin count only shows both sides are adding, not that longs are chasing. In the settlement this morning at 8 a.m., NMR’s funding rate was -0.18%—short positions paying longs; at least during that interval the futures price was below the index, so the selling side was more anxious. That’s my inference; the API doesn’t directly provide this conclusion, and the numbers are only from Binance.
If one coin rises by 30%, even if no new position (no new orders) was opened, the open interest measured in dollars will also rise by 30%. When position value is rising, MARSCOIN’s rise is mainly price, while NMR’s rise is mainly position size. The metric that answers “is there new positioning?” is coin count, not the dollar value.

What freebie opportunities are available on Binance today | 9.29
Today there are 5 new ones, but not many are actually worth doing right away—about half are just notifications.
First, let’s talk about the ones with the earliest deadlines. The BABY Spot Tournament ends today at 18:00 Beijing time. If you’ve already joined, top up your trading volume to $500; once you complete the trade, sell it. If you haven’t joined, don’t chase it.
The VTHO Spot Tournament ends on 10/1 at 18:00 Beijing time. Buy with a $250 limit price, then sell again—this just meets the 500-entry threshold. The back-end reward is roughly a $0–$40 voucher.
Next is WOTD’s new round of the quiz, which ends 10/4. Get 5 questions correct to receive 3000 U. Then, make $50 in trading volume to get 7000 U more. Each person is capped at 5 U, and you don’t need to take on any risk—so it’s quick and easy to do.
There are also two things you need to take care of. The XDP Alpha airdrop has already been claimed; if you clicked “Claim,” be sure to confirm it by 22:30 tonight. The Base chain 9/30 hard fork will suspend deposits/withdrawals—complete the Base chain deposits/withdrawals by 24:00 Beijing time on 9/30.
Risk reminder: USDai’s PYUSD strategy will split 300,000 CHIP, but the details aren’t clearly stated. The rewards are volatile coins. If you want to try it, only put in a small amount—subscription minimum is 100 PYUSD.
Starting today, stop on-chain top-ups to your funds account. Don’t choose the wrong account when depositing.
In this batch today, only the quiz has no risk. The two tournaments’ back-end vouchers are at most about $40, and they’re only worth it for people who are already in the event.

In one day, QNT’s trading volume on Binance contracts reached $2.44 billion—it's easy to read it as: “$2.4 billion flowed in.” But the turnover measures how many times money rotated; it doesn’t tell you how much came in.
At 11:14 Beijing time, the 24-hour figures I saw: QNTUSDT perpetual trading volume was $2.44 billion. Binance’s spot with the same name traded only $234 million—about 10.4 times less. The perpetual price rose from 172.17 to 256.23, up 48.8%, and briefly touched 374.5 in the middle. The market is still swinging; these numbers can change within minutes.
Positions left on the books depend on open interest. Yesterday at 11:00, the QNT contract open interest value was $25.74 million; today at 11:00 it was $47.23 million. With $2.4 billion in volume, open interest only net increased by about $21.5 million—less than 1% of the trading value. Most of those $21.5 million came from the price increase: in coin count, open interest rose from 149,934 to 172,878, up 15.3%. And open-interest value is nominal— the margin behind it is actually even less.
The gap comes from turnover. In 24 hours, 11.27 million QNT were traded in the contracts. If you compare that to the highest open interest in the day—this morning at 5:00, when it peaked at 234,102—the trading volume was 48 times that figure. The “circulating supply” field attached to the open-interest interface (labeled from CMC) is 12.07 million QNT. The number of coins traded in the contract in one day was equivalent to 93.4% of the circulating supply.
The peak hour is the most typical. From 6 to 7, the price surged to 374.5. Contract trading volume was $354 million, but open interest dropped from 219,442 coins to 159,313 coins—a decrease of 27.4%. When the price is rising, open interest dropping sharply often corresponds to short liquidations being forced to close. But public APIs can’t distinguish liquidations from主动平仓 (actively closed positions), so this is my inference.
QNT’s $2.4 billion trading volume in a day corresponds to new positions added on the books of only about $21.5 million. A new all-time high in trading value indicates fast turnover; it doesn’t mean there’s “a lot of money.”

If you compare that to the highest open interest in the day—this morning at 5:00, when it peaked at 234,102—the trading volume was 48 times that figure. The “circulating supply” field attached to the open-interest interface (labeled from CMC) is 12.07 million QNT. The number of coins traded in the contract in one day was equivalent to 93.4% of the circulating supply.
The peak hour is the most typical. From 6 to 7, the price surged to 374.5. Contract trading volume was $354 million, but open interest dropped from 219,442 coins to 159,313 coins—a decrease of 27.4%. When the price is rising, open interest dropping sharply often corresponds to short liquidations being forced to close. But public APIs can’t distinguish liquidations from主动平仓 (actively closed positions), so this is my inference.
QNT’s $2.4 billion trading volume in a day corresponds to new positions added on the books of only about $21.5 million. A new all-time high in trading value indicates fast turnover; it doesn’t mean there’s “a lot of money.”

What trading opportunities are there on Binance today | 9/28
There are no new activities today. After the official announcements on 9/25, no further notices were posted. The few ongoing tasks I have are expiring over the next couple of days—I'll pick ones that are worth doing.
BABY Spot Tournament, deadline 9/29 10:00 UTC. The entry requirement is a $500 trading volume, with the tail reward capped at about $39. Enter and exit using limit orders, and don’t leave any position open. If you already have positions, it’s convenient to close them for this—if you don’t, it’s not worth making a special trip.
VTHO Spot Tournament, deadline 10/1 10:00 UTC, prize pool 400 BNB. Buy in and sell out for $250 each way—one round trip reaches the threshold. The order book is very thin, so slippage from market orders would eat into the reward. Only place limit orders.
AI Trading Desk content call for submissions, deadline 9/30 23:59 UTC. No starting capital required—20 people will split 2000 USDC. This is an official submission call posted on Binance’s Twitter. The tweet doesn’t specify where to submit, so follow the official tweet.
Hurry-ups / closing soon: BABY expires tomorrow morning. The football predictions also end on 9/29. You only get 5 Alpha points if your bet exceeds 50U, and it’s only meaningful for people whose points card is right around the airdrop cutoff line.
Both tournaments have caps on tail rewards. After you pass the threshold, doing additional trades just means paying extra trading fees. The only one you can do today without putting up your own capital is the submission call.
Risk reminder: starting 9/29, your funds account will stop accepting on-chain top-ups. After that, deposits must go through the spot account, and the old addresses stored in your address book need to be updated.

Contract 1: A liquidation pin, you often hear a comforting line: “Binance liquidates based on the mark price; the pin pierces the latest price, so it won’t reach your position.” The drop of QUSDT this early morning proves that this protective “tube” is far narrower than that sentence suggests.
From 00:30 to 00:45 Beijing time, QUSDT futures’ latest price fell from 0.041213 to 0.019522—a 52.6% drop in 15 minutes. In the same period, the mark price fell 51.9%, and the index price fell 51.3%. The low point of the mark price is only 1.6% higher than the low point of the latest price. And Binance’s liquidation FAQ says: “When the mark price reaches the liquidation price, liquidation will occur.” In this drop, the mark price almost didn’t protect anyone at all.
The reason is the index. According to Binance’s FAQ, the price index “is the main component of the mark price.” The index is meant to protect against distortion from a single source: if one platform deviates from the midpoint of all sources by more than 3%, it gets pushed back to 1.03 or 0.97 times the midpoint. One “pin” can be flattened by this rule; when all sources fall together, there’s no deviation to flatten.
QUSDT is even more extreme: Binance spot can’t be found for this trading pair, and the index doesn’t include Binance’s own spot price. The five components I read at 11:14 this morning were all external platforms. Of those, PancakeSwap V3 accounted for 50% of the on-chain pool weight, and Bitget accounted for 25%. I didn’t manage to obtain the weights from the early-morning period, so they may have changed.
The cost lands on positions: between the 00:30 and 00:35 snapshots, open interest fell by 19.6%. This figure doesn’t distinguish between forced liquidation and voluntary position closing, so I suspect it isn’t all voluntary exits. The same goes in the opposite direction: during the hour at around 4:00 a.m., the latest price rose 83.0%, and the mark price rose 82.4%—shorts were not protected either.
The mark price protects against “Binance’s price leaving the market,” not against “the market itself moving.” If a coin has no Binance spot, and the index relies on a few external sources to prop it up, then when they all fall together, the mark price falls together, and the liquidation line still gets pierced.

What opportunities can you “scoop” from Binance today | 9/27
Today there are 3 new ones. Only one is truly worth making a dedicated move; the other ones mostly have deadlines around 9/29.
For the USDT current account, the highest is 7% APR, ending 10/8. The path is: Wealth Management → Current Account → USDT. Subscription limit is 1000U. The 14-day estimated return is about $2.7. Not much money, but no risk from price fluctuations—if you have idle USDT, it’s a convenient place to park it.
BABY Trading Tournament ends 9/29 at 10:00 UTC. The requirement is $500 in trading volume; tail-end rewards are up to $39. If you haven’t participated before, there are only two days left to push for trading volume—so it’s not really worth making a special trip.
Ending soon: Alpha PIEVERSE Phase 2 ends 9/29 at 13:00 UTC. The early-bird multiplier is already in the final segment. Wallet Football Prediction ends 9/29 at 23:59 UTC; single orders over 50U get the next order 5 Alpha points. Also, the AEON Competition Phase 2 starts 9/29 at 13:00 UTC—if you want the 2.0x early-bird, you need to buy right when Phase 2 opens.
Risk reminder: Starting 9/29, the Funds account will stop accepting on-chain top-ups. Don’t send coins to the Funds account address anymore; choose a Spot account for deposits. P2P will continue as usual through December.
Among today’s batch, the only one you don’t need to watch the screen or race the clock for is the current account item. The others are mainly wrap-ups for people who are already doing them.

What opportunities can you “farm” on Binance today | 9.26
Today 3 new items were added: one is meant for long-term holders who simply switch positions while staying put; the rest are all locked on 9/29, and time is tight.
The RLUSD Hold to Earn has started a new round. If you hold no less than 0.01 RLUSD, you can share the equivalent value of 800,000 USDT in XRP. It has zero volatility exposure—just go ahead and switch positions. The deadline is 10/23, so there’s still plenty of time. This one is worth doing specifically.
A few that are almost ending:
- BABY spot trading tournament: entry threshold is $500, prize pool is 400 BNB, and there are about 3 days left—worth going for;
- Wallet prediction football: if you make a purchase over 50 USDT in one go, you get 5 points at once—zero cost, convenient to do;
- Alpha’s PIEVERSE and AEON competitions: the early-bird period has already passed most of the way. Now joining yields discounted returns, so it’s generally not great value compared to chasing the early-bird.
Risk reminder: In Alpha’s newly added BREW and GSTOCK, GSTOCK has already surged 190x. Chasing it now is basically taking the bag—don’t treat it as a “haircut/farm yield” project. Also, there’s a Remittix pre-sale using the banner “BINANCE500”; it’s a third-party scam and has nothing to do with Binance.
The two that are truly worth it today are RLUSD and BABY. The others depend on your available time and entry requirements.

What trading opportunities are available on Binance today | 9.25
Today 6 new ones just came out. Only about two or three are worth taking seriously; most others can be skipped.
The VTHO spot trading contest has a threshold of trading $500. The prize pool is 400 BNB. The guaranteed minimum at the end is roughly $50. It ends on 10/1 at 10:00 UTC, and the time is fairly lenient.
Today’s deadlines are for a few: the Lorenzo (BANK) tournament ends 9/25 10:00 UTC. If you’ve already traded $500, you just need to wait for settlement; if you didn’t participate, it’s too late to catch up now. Alpha KII trading competition ends 9/25 13:00 UTC—only a few hours are left. Axis Robotics points are also due today, the last day. These three can only be waited for next time.
Risk reminder: The pPOLY trading contest has previously exposed liquidation risk—don’t buy specifically for the prize pool. The Aster perpetual contract contest has a prize pool of 14,000 ASTER, but the risks of leveraged contracts are much greater than that prize pool, so proceed with caution. Also, 7 USDC trading pairs—AIXBT, DOLO, ENJ, HUMA, SXT, TNSR, and TURTLE—are being delisted today. If you currently have orders placed, handle them ASAP.
Actually, the only one truly worth taking action on today is the VTHO one.

Partly True
In this AI stock rally, there has been a US stock perpetual market running 24/7 on-chain that has been trading right along with it. Below are four sets of numbers it left behind.
First set: the positions are pushed into storage, not NVIDIA. At 00:23 on September 24, for the whole market’s 124 underlying assets converted at mark price, the largest open interest belongs to SK hynix Korea stock perpetual with $304 million; next are Micron with $177 million, hynix ADS with $172 million, and Intel and NVIDIA at $142 million each. The two hynix contracts plus Micron and SanDisk (US$122 million) total $774 million for three storage companies—more than five times NVIDIA.
The last three sets use nine US-listed underlyings I selected: NVIDIA, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, Micron, Intel, Tesla, and a 100-stock index. The window is 31 days from August 23 to September 23.
Second set: it’s running 24/7, but the price isn’t moving 24/7. NVIDIA’s 31-day trading value shows 47.4% occurs after the Wall Street close; by hour, during the opening session the hourly trading value is $7.64 million, while in the closing session it’s only $1.83 million—about 4.2 times less. The opening-session average amplitude is 0.79% per hour, versus 0.28% for the closing session. The nine underlyings’ off-exchange (OTC) amplitude is only 20% to 50% of the on-exchange one. The prices being “found” are still those few hours when New York opens.
Third set: weekends move. Excluding Labor Day weekend, among the most recent three weekends (24 stock samples), the move from Friday’s close to Monday midnight is less than 1% for 16 instances. Over 2.5% happens three times: Intel up 2.9%, while Micron and Intel fall 4.5% and 4.6%, respectively. In the hour at Monday’s open, the two cases that moved in the same direction continued, while one moved slightly in the opposite direction. The sample is too small to form a pattern, but the leveraged positions’ weekend risk is facing real-level ~4% volatility.
Fourth set: longs have been paying. Over 31 days, the annualized average funding rates for the nine underlyings range from 2.9% to 8.2%, with the positive-hours share from 79% to 96%. Over those 31 days, NVIDIA’s cumulative payout is 0.43%.
All four sets put together: on-chain, this turns that batch of stocks into a leveraged market that doesn’t shut, where longs keep paying, and where pricing is still set by New York. The heaviest bet is in storage.
Data: Hyperliquid public API, August 23 to September 23; snapshots at 23rd 14:25 and 24th 00:23; in-market hours taken from UTC 13 to 20 on weekdays. This dataset represents only that moment.

At 00:23 on September 24, for the whole market’s 124 underlying assets converted at mark price, the largest open interest belongs to SK hynix Korea stock perpetual with $304 million; next are Micron with $177 million, hynix ADS with $172 million, and Intel and NVIDIA at $142 million each. The two hynix contracts plus Micron and SanDisk (US$122 million) total $774 million for three storage companies—more than five times NVIDIA.
The last three sets use nine US-listed underlyings I selected: NVIDIA, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, Micron, Intel, Tesla, and a 100-stock index. The window is 31 days from August 23 to September 23.
Second set: it’s running 24/7, but the price isn’t moving 24/7. NVIDIA’s 31-day trading value shows 47.4% occurs after the Wall Street close; by hour, during the opening session the hourly trading value is $7.64 million, while in the closing session it’s only $1.83 million—about 4.2 times less. The opening-session average amplitude is 0.79% per hour, versus 0.28% for the closing session. The nine underlyings’ off-exchange (OTC) amplitude is only 20% to 50% of the on-exchange one. The prices being “found” are still those few hours when New York opens.
Third set: weekends move. Excluding Labor Day weekend, among the most recent three weekends (24 stock samples), the move from Friday’s close to Monday midnight is less than 1% for 16 instances. Over 2.5% happens three times: Intel up 2.9%, while Micron and Intel fall 4.5% and 4.6%, respectively. In the hour at Monday’s open, the two cases that moved in the same direction continued, while one moved slightly in the opposite direction. The sample is too small to form a pattern, but the leveraged positions’ weekend risk is facing real-level ~4% volatility.
Fourth set: longs have been paying. Over 31 days, the annualized average funding rates for the nine underlyings range from 2.9% to 8.2%, with the positive-hours share from 79% to 96%. Over those 31 days, NVIDIA’s cumulative payout is 0.43%.
All four sets put together: on-chain, this turns that batch of stocks into a leveraged market that doesn’t shut, where longs keep paying, and where pricing is still set by New York. The heaviest bet is in storage.
Data: Hyperliquid public API, August 23 to September 23; snapshots at 23rd 14:25 and 24th 00:23; in-market hours taken from UTC 13 to 20 on weekdays. This dataset represents only that moment.

Yesterday at 19:00, the open interest of BCHUSDT perpetual futures was 281,236 BCH; today at 20:00 it was 489,280. In 25 hours, an additional 74% of the positions were still open.
In the same day, its funding rate never moved even once: on September 23, three settlements were all 0.01%—exactly the benchmark value left for 8-hour contracts when the premium is near zero. Taken by the common reading of “a low funding rate means leverage hasn’t come in,” those new positions adding up to 74% shouldn’t exist.
Those two numbers didn’t “fight”; they aren’t measuring the same thing. The funding rate is anchored to the price gap between the perpetual and the index. At 20:25 on September 23 Beijing time—the moment I read—it was trading with a mark price of 344.03 and an index of 343.88, very close together, so the funding rate naturally sits on the benchmark. It answers: “By how much is the perpetual more expensive than spot?” Open interest answers a different question: “How many positions are still open?” When the price gap is close to zero and open interest is huge, they can both be true at the same time—and today’s BCH is just that.
The commotion is definitely on the derivatives side as well: in the trailing 24 hours up to 20:25, this perpetual traded $1.312 billion, while the spot pair BCHUSDT had only $160 million—8.2 times less. Shift the trailing window by one hour and the numbers change; this is the reading at that moment.
There’s another easy-to-mix-up metric. The USD notional value of these positions rose from $75.85 million to $170 million—more than doubled—but the conversion prices at the two time points weren’t the same. If you back-calculate using the notional value and the number of contracts provided by the interface, they are $269.70 and $347.48 respectively—nearly a 30% difference. Contract counts and market value are two different measures; the latter is pushed around by price, so the “74%” and “more than 1x” aren’t talking about the same thing.
If you want to know whether leverage has actually entered, the funding rate isn’t the right indicator—the metric to look at is open interest. As for whether those new 74% positions are net long or net short, and which direction it will go next, those two numbers don’t answer, and I won’t interpret them for you.

What opportunities can you “farm” on Binance today | 9.23
Today there are 5 items added and updated in total—not exactly quiet overall. Only two are really worth doing specifically.
Lorenzo’s BANK tournament has wrapped up, ending at 10:00 UTC on 9/25. If you’re in the event now, the buy-in is likely worth it: a $500 trading volume can probably earn $39 to $55; the BABY spot tournament also has a $500 trading-volume threshold, ending at 10:00 UTC on 9/29, with more time.
Within the next 72 hours, several events will close: the CAP trading competition ends tomorrow 9/24 at 13:00 UTC. Get your volume in today; since it’s USDC-denominated, there’s no coin-price risk. DEBIT, PROVE, and KII will finish between 9/24 and 9/25—participants in the event should add volume; the cost-effectiveness for new entrants is generally average. The Axis Robotics points activity window has only until 9/25—save points to redeem future AXIS.
Alpha’s AEON trading competition aims to buy your way into the top 2000. Each round is about $58, with a two-round cap of $116. The best early-bird multiplier is today—just do it if it’s convenient.
Risk reminder: The USDP spot market will be delisted on 9/24. These 7 USDC trading pairs will be delisted on 9/25: AIXBT, DOLO, ENJ, HUMA, SXT, TNSR, and TURTLE—if you have positions, handle them in advance. The Token Race rule about “10 wins for 10,000 USDT” hasn’t been confirmed yet, so don’t投入 for now.
Among today’s batch, the tighter the time, the lower the threshold—and the more relaxed the requirements; the more comfortable you are, the higher the expectations.

Check Binance VIP eligibility thresholds—most people only recognize a single number. In Binance’s own FAQ, 《How to Become a Binance VIP》, published on the same page, it gives two different answers.
According to the summary table: the minimum threshold for trading VIP is a 30-day trading volume of at least $1,000,000 in spot trading, or $5,000,000 in futures trading, or $200,000 in OTC trading, together with an average daily BNB holding of no less than 5.
If you scroll down to the section titled “How to Become a Trading VIP,” the same title uses a different set of numbers: spot becomes $5,000,000, futures becomes $15,000,000, while the requirements for OTC and BNB holdings remain unchanged. The spot threshold is 5x higher, and the futures threshold is 3x higher.
This isn’t something you can attribute to an old-vs-new version comparison—I checked the FAQ’s last-updated timestamp, and it shows recent revisions. The two contradictory numbers appear in the same current version. The article contains no fields indicating which of these figures correspond to which eligibility tier; it still uses the exact same label “Trading VIP.”
The standard fee rate for regular users per trade is 0.1%. The reason many people are willing to verify the threshold is the discount that comes with VIP levels—but most of the circulated versions only copied one of the two sets of figures, and nobody mentioned that the official site itself has two different sets of numbers.
The common advice “Check the official website to confirm the threshold” isn’t valid for this article: what threshold you find depends on how far down you scroll.

What opportunities are there to “farm gains” on Binance today | 9.22
There are no new projects today, but there’s one important update plus several reminders that are about to expire—so be sure to check them quickly.
The Alpha CP Trading Contest ends at 13:00 UTC today. If you’ve already entered, trade again and push for a better rank—going in now doesn’t really make much sense.
pPOLY’s first Pre-Access initial offering update is out. It ends at 09:00 UTC on 9-24. However, the allocation hasn’t been published and the structure carries relatively high risk. It’s only suitable for people who already have strong Alpha points or a high bStocks tier to try a small amount. Use USDC first for your funds.
The PROVE Spot Championship ends at 10:00 UTC on 9-24. The entry requirement is $500 in trading volume. The guaranteed minimum at the tail end is 190 PROVE, with a cap at the top end. The threshold isn’t low.
The CAP Trading Contest and the DEBIT Trading Contest Season 2 both wrap up on 9-24 as well. CAP rewards are denominated in USDC, so there’s no coin-price fluctuation—if you’re already trading, just pick it up along the way. New entries for DEBIT are generally not great value.
Risk reminder: USDP is scheduled to be delisted. By 9-24, if you have any, convert it in advance or withdraw it—don’t leave it until the last day.
Among this batch, the only two that are truly worth making a dedicated trip for are PROVE and pPOLY.
