With such differentiated fee rates, it shows that everyone really doesn't understand how ETH will move next.

Such a big difference in platform fees? Isn't this just arbitrage opportunity? Someone is secretly enjoying it.

The differences between platforms are so big? It feels like playing different games. If you want to buy the dip now, you need to choose the right platform; otherwise, you'll really suffer losses. Funding rates are just a barometer of market sentiment. The market is indeed very divided right now. But are negative rates still holding? It shows that some people are still not optimistic.
