Every time a meme coin pumps hard, some people instinctively short it, and the outcome is usually one of two: either liquidation or cutting losses. Even though everyone, including the aunties on the street, knows that meme coins will eventually drop back down, the exaggerated funding rates and settlement frequencies as short as 1 hour make it unbearable for short sellers. Many trades that could have been profitable end up losing money after deducting fees. This pain point is widely recognized in the industry, but it’s kind of amazing that no exchange or project team has ever tried to optimize this from the trader’s perspective. Finally, yesterday, @grvt_io, which is about to launch its TGE, announced two new products. One of them is Stable Funding Perps, directly addressing the issue of holding costs: funding rates are disclosed in advance, settled once daily; when the market is balanced, the funding rate is 0%, and only the crowded side pays fees; dividends flow directly back to you. The benefit of this approach is that traders can know the cost of funding before opening a position, allowing them to plan long-term strategies based on these costs and avoid becoming "lambs to the slaughter" in one-sided markets. It’s especially suitable for trend investors. In addition to Stable Funding Perps, Grvt is also launching another product called Grvt Earn (upgraded version), featuring three curated strategies with different annualized returns. This allows your idle funds to serve as margin while also earning passive income. In summary, the two upcoming products from Grvt aim to provide convenience for traders by addressing holding costs and idle funds. This is one of the few innovations in the PerpDEX space this year, and we’re looking forward to seeing it go live soon. Lastly, a quick teaser: Grvt has added a V4 pool with an initial price of 0.3, corresponding to a $300M FDV. Whether it’s a mule or a horse, we’ll find out on the evening of July 30.
