  • OK: Fits both order books9.7 / 6.1 bp
    Entry at $10k a leg, taker fee + slippage. Closing costs about the same.
  • Note: Margin at max leverage$500 + $1,000
    MEXC 20x, Lighter 10x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
  • Watch: Payment intervals differ8h / 1h
    Payments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.
    Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: −$6.24Long MEXC: 3 payments, $0.00; short Lighter: 24 payments, −$6.24.
  • Watch: Gap narrower than usual−0.233% vs −0.180%
    Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
  • Watch: Short leg is thinner$829K vs $1.8M OI
    Lighter sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
  • OK: Points on a legLighter Season 3
    Volume here counts toward the points program.

10-02 12:00KuCoinOtherBitcoin's next big market may not be owning BTC at all—it may be financing the companies that hold it. "Digital credit" barely existed two years ago; it's now an estimated $16 billion market. Strategy's STRC pays a 12% annualized dividend twice a month, but it isn't backed by Strategy's Bitcoin—and June exposed the risk, when the share fell nearly 29% below its $100 stated value and Strategy sold BTC to cover dividends. Could this $16B market really rival Bitcoin's $1.5T cap? We break it all down on the KuCoin Blog 👇 @kucoincom on X ↗
