Short answer: The Nasdaq composite fell 4.5% between the October 9 and October 16, 2026 closes. A 3x leveraged ETF that reset perfectly every day would have lost about 13.1% over the same five sessions, not 13.4%. That gap is small because the week trended one way. The real damage is what comes next. The…
Short answer: A stock perpetual keeps trading after the stock it tracks has stopped, so the exchange has to invent a reference price for the hours in between. OKX’s stock perpetuals page, updated August 31, 2026, says the index “relies more on OKX’s own contract price and stock perps index price on other exchanges” during…

Short answer: September inflation came in at 3.7%, and the odds of a Fed hike on October 28 jumped to about 50% before settling near a third. If the Fed does add 25 basis points, $10,000 in a 3-month T-bill loses nothing and simply rolls into a higher rate. The same $10,000 in a 2-year…
Short answer: Bitget listed perpetual futures on five Japanese stocks on October 13, 2026: Toyota, Sony, Mitsubishi UFJ, Murata and Taiyo Yuden.

Short answer: Bitcoin fell from about $84,200 on October 12 to just above $80,000 on October 15, 2026. That is a 5% move. On a standard 0.4% maintenance margin, a 5% drop liquidates every isolated long at 20x or higher that was opened near the top. The 25x line sat at roughly $81,170 and the…
Short answer: Since October 1, 2026, the Crypto.com Ruby card charges 2% on foreign spending above $500 a month, and Jade and Indigo charge 2% above $1,000.
