GALA’s price surged 30.72% to $0.002016 over 24h, with trading volume of $226 million. Open interest rose even more sharply versus price: 14 exchanges combined OI of $33.8 million, up 30.08% in 24h—roughly tracking price, suggesting leverage is being used this round.
The distribution is uneven: Binance accounts for 24.7% share, up 26.5% over 24h; Gate saw a 92.98% spike in 24h (still +29.89% within 4h). That’s typical of one platform being heavily chased by longs—yet Binance, which has the largest market share, rose less dramatically. This indicates diversified leveraged longs are pushing the move, rather than a single large inflow.
But fees haven’t kept up: Binance/OKX/Bybit/Gate/Aster/Kucoin/MEXC/Whitebit are all stuck around ~0.0001 (annualized under 4%). The only negative one is Kraken (-0.00008). Even with the price up 30% and positions rising, longs don’t appear to be paying aggressively—suggesting the market hasn’t entered a truly frenzy zone.
Liquidations reveal the real struggle: shorts made up 55.5% over 24h ($299k), 56.9% over 4h, and within a 1h window the short share jumped to 77.4%. In the short cycle, shorts are being buried noticeably faster, and the bottom-fishing short positions are concentrating into exits.
