In perpetual futures, there is no expiry date — so the market uses a funding rate to keep prices anchored to spot.
When the futures price is above spot, longs pay shorts. When below, shorts pay longs. It resets every 8 hours and is one of the most important mechanics to understand before trading perps.
A stop-loss is your safety net. Without one, a single bad trade can wipe out weeks of gains. Decide your exit before you enter — not after emotions kick in.
Every dip feels dangerous. Every headline feels catastrophic. And yet — the trend continues. The market rewards those who can hold conviction through uncertainty, not those who wait for perfect clarity.
Holding only one type of project — say, all layer-1s or all memes — still leaves you exposed to the same market narrative. Spreading across DeFi, infrastructure, gaming, stablecoins, and emerging sectors gives your portfolio more ways to absorb shocks and find opportunity.
