Impact Analysis and Historical Context on Perpetuals

Did you know? Resuming a four-hour funding rate was a practice Binance previously adopted during periods of increased market volatility, underscoring its flexible response to dynamic trading environments.

MYX Finance, known by its symbol MYX, currently trades at $1.67 with a market cap of $263.25 million and a 24-hour trading volume declining by 14.15%. Recent price movements show increases of 604.48% over 7 days and 1,403.62% over 30 days, as reported by CoinMarketCap.

Experts from Coincu suggest that this increased frequency could better align funding costs with real-time market conditions, influencing liquidity dynamics without directly impacting the underlying token prices unless coupled with broader market shifts.
