Another round of mechanism changes, this exchange really never sits still. --- Funding rate is going to be adjusted again, I need to recalculate the ledger. --- Is there a change at the beginning of next year? Can I still hold my current position now? --- Changing perpetual contracts like this, is it really beneficial for small retail investors like me? --- After watching for a long time, I still can't figure out exactly what the changes are... --- What is "ecosystem optimization" again? Honestly, isn't it just about trying to cut the leeks? --- The funding rate has been changed, I need to rewrite my previous arbitrage strategies. --- January 2nd, huh? I need to study this new set of rules in advance. --- Will this adjustment directly trigger a wave of stop-losses? I'm scared. --- Perpetual contracts keep coming up with new tricks, the crypto world never has a dull moment.
