$LAB Thank you... I borrowed LAB’s coins. After the spot can be shorted, I opened a long position on a contract, paying a funding fee of 2.5 points per hour. For these two months, I haven’t repaid the borrowed coins, so the funding fee keeps accruing as I continue arbitraging. I made $40,000—just for a consumer boost to help prop up GDP.
Why has the market suddenly turned cautious on the eve of CPI?
Over the past two weeks, there has been a concerning shift in the global risk asset market: funds are quietly pulling out, and investors' risk appetite is noticeably declining. First off, the crypto market has sent out some signals. The much-watched Bitcoin spot ETF has seen net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, totaling $4.4 billion. Meanwhile, the overall management scale of Bitcoin ETFs has shrunk by nearly $24 billion. For a market heavily reliant on incremental capital inflow, this ongoing ETF bleed-out indicates that institutional investors are reducing their risk exposure, leading to a lack of fresh buy support in the short term.
Last Friday, the US stock market vaporized a trillion dollars in a day, with chip stocks crashing collectively, and the Nasdaq hit its largest single-day drop in over a year. But let me tell you — that’s not the scariest part; the real bombshell is buried this Wednesday. First, let’s talk about why it crashed. The trigger was Broadcom's earnings report; the guidance for AI chips missed the mark just a bit and didn’t beat expectations, so the market immediately voted with its feet. What does this indicate? The AI narrative has been priced in way too heavily, to the point where — if the good news isn’t good enough, it’s bad news. But the real kicker is what’s coming next. The US May employment data skyrocketed, adding 170,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate is just 4.3%. Sounds good, right? But at this point, it basically declares: don’t expect the Fed to cut rates this year, and there are even bets starting to form for a rate hike. The toughest safety net for the stock market over the past few years has been "the Fed will step in if things get too bad," but now that cushion is being pulled away. The crypto scene is even worse; Bitcoin dropped from 80,000 to just over 60,000, a 20% drop in a month, and ETFs have been redeemed for thirteen consecutive days, pulling out 4.4 billion dollars — that’s institutional money exiting in a systematic retreat. So remember, this Wednesday’s US inflation data is the real master switch. The Middle East conflict has driven oil prices up by half, and if inflation exceeds expectations again, “no rate cut” will turn into “possible rate hike,” which would lead to a second repricing of all assets. In short: this drop isn’t just killing earnings; it’s killing imagination. Do you think it’s a buying opportunity or just a continuation of the downtrend? Let me know in the comments.
The big drop in the crypto space this June was inevitable. 1. ETFs and MicroStrategy haven't dumped a ton of coins yet and are still raking in interest. 2. World Cup betting is siphoning off funds. 3. The top three AI companies in the US are sucking in capital with their trillion-dollar valuations.
Crypto Big Shots Dive into US Stocks, Only to Get Steamrolled by Traditional Finance
Millions thrown in, yet the candlestick barely budges! The truth behind crypto traders' failures in the US stock market. Just a few days after Binance launched US stocks, traders found themselves with diversified options. The unfolding of events is quite interesting. A group of crypto enthusiasts, hyped up from trading shitcoins and MEME tokens, stumbled upon a niche company called 'Wok' while browsing Nasdaq small caps. The only thing that attracted them was one point: the company’s total market cap was actually under $200,000. Players familiar with crypto strategies instantly got excited, triggering their familiar 'gold rush mentality'. In their eyes, those low-cap shitcoins with market values in the hundreds or thousands can easily pump a few times or even dozens of times. This Nasdaq-listed asset, with a market cap of less than $200,000, is basically the US stock market's version of a super shitcoin—an absolute low-key treasure. Everyone's mindset is perfectly aligned: the market cap is tiny, and the chips are concentrated. As long as the funds rally together, they can directly control the market and replicate the script of MEME coins skyrocketing to riches. Consequently, a massive wave of crypto players rushed in, with some dumping millions of dollars into heavy positions, and even investors directly buying in to become major shareholders of the company, eagerly waiting to control the market, pump the stock price, and cash out big time.

Threats to traditional finance: turning 'pricing' into a global open competition. The essence of traditional finance is 'trust intermediaries'. The modern financial system is built on a core premise: everyday people can't establish trust directly. So there’s a reliance on: banks, brokers, exchanges, clearinghouses, custodians, and investment banks. These institutions exist primarily to lower trading costs, but at the same time, they hold the power to set the rules. The biggest characteristic of traditional finance is that users believe 'institutions won’t do harm'. The logic of finance on Hyperliquid is completely different; it doesn’t trust institutions.
How much longer do we have to endure? The altcoin hedging arbitrage is a stagnant pool; who has sealed the market?
In the past couple of weeks, those in the altcoin arbitrage and quantitative trading game have been eerily quiet. Our automated monitoring software has been keeping a 24/7 watch on Binance, OKX, Bitget, Bybit, and Gate, but the results are crushing—almost all price discrepancies in altcoins across the network have been wiped out. No wild surges or drops, no retail traders chasing the trend, trading volume has collapsed, and the price action looks like an EKG has turned flat. The software can’t even trigger any opening positions, and watching the market manually has become nerve-wracking. It's not that the CBB software or code has issues; rather, someone behind the scenes has completely drained the ‘liquidity’ of major exchanges' altcoins! This is no coincidence; the market is dead silent. Today, let's break down the insider info and discuss the two core factors that are keeping altcoin volatility suppressed and when this stagnant market might warm up.
I think my account might be toast, but it is what it is; time's just not on my side. Looking to recruit someone who can write short posts, create research reports, and edit videos. Come help me with some marketing and manage some assets using my hedging and arbitrage tools. This is an on-site gig in Changsha, preferably someone from Hunan. #Hiring
I see that Binance Square only has traffic by talking nonsense, boasting, messing around, and putting on a show My net worth is a hundred billion, and today I stayed there for eighteen hours without leaving the computer to produce data for three thousand dollars
Without suffering losses, using hedging to pump up the trading volume, and the money will come in Identity is something you give yourself Everyone is watching the show and still needs to buy tickets
$RAVE has earned over $200,000 for my members engaged in hedging and arbitrage. The hourly funding fees and spread profits have made my members extremely happy, they are very comfortable.
I have been looking forward to a big drop, but the BTC 65000 support level is very strong, and I want to hold some spot but it doesn't give me a chance. Then let's start the BTC grid strategy. If it keeps vibrating in this range, I can make some small money. If there is a big drop that locks my contract, I will switch to a spot position. With a ten thousand dollar principal and ten times leverage, filling 10 grids will pull the average price to 60,000. What’s there to be afraid of...
