During its initial launch, Papertrade's generous position limits prompted concerns about price manipulation, and it has begun tightening its parameters. Under its fair-launch mechanism, small orders cannot receive exactly the same priority as large orders. Within 6 hours of launch, trading volume had already exceeded that of the stock market; it also paid $25 million to stakers, attracted $5 million in LP funds, and supports 1,000x leverage. Overall, the funding rate remains positive, the long/short ratio leans bullish, and open interest remains high. Watch whether the price can hold above $2540 and how the funding rate changes.
