Recently, I saw the performance of the $RIVER token, with the funding rate reaching 1% every hour—honestly, this number is quite exaggerated. Some say they find it hard to believe there are no big players manipulating behind the scenes; such extreme fee rate design is essentially bloodsucking.

After browsing community discussions, many people have already been caught in the trap. The logic behind such a funding rate design is clear: long positions that can't hold up will close voluntarily, and short positions will also run due to the cost pressure. Regardless of which side gets liquidated, the market maker can profit from the spread.

My advice is straightforward—any token that charges fees every hour, don’t rush to jump in. Such extreme fee rates are often not normal market behavior but are used by some to exploit retail investors through leverage gaming rules. If an exchange can set such a fee rate, it indicates that big funds are definitely manipulating the market rhythm behind the scenes.

The crypto market is inherently risky, so there's no need to jump into obvious traps. Protecting your principal is much more valuable than chasing gains or cutting losses.

1% per hour? Oh my, this is not just harvesting leeks, it's cutting the roots directly --- It's the same old trick, when the funding rate is pushed to absurd levels, you know someone is manipulating the market behind the scenes --- Brothers and sisters who are trapped are really miserable, I see crying all over the community... --- Don't touch this kind of coin, it's really not worth it, capital preservation is the best --- The small tricks of the market makers are really a set of tricks, but unfortunately, leeks will never learn to hide --- A 1% fee rate... and some still dare to play? I just can't understand --- That's why I only watch now and don't trade, waiting for the risk to pass --- The design of such a ridiculous funding rate should have been banned long ago, and the exchanges are also tacitly aware --- How much confidence do people have when entering? Such an obvious trap and still jumping in --- Wake up, everyone, there are no free lunches, only harvesters waiting for you

1% per hour? I've experienced that before, it's just another Ponzi scheme in disguise. --- I've seen too many of these in 2018. The more exaggerated the fee rate, the faster the project team runs away. --- If you don't believe that big players are manipulating the market, it just means you haven't been cut yet. --- This is a standard feature of capital pools. In a bear market, this routine never gets old. --- I've accidentally touched this kind of coin before, and it's still lying in my cold wallet. --- Extreme fee rates = contract risk, there's no need to discuss it further. --- Another attempt to scalp the chives. If an exchange dares to set such a fee rate, there must be a behind-the-scenes black hand. --- Protecting principal > chasing gains. This is a truth learned from the mining crisis. --- $RIVER, just hearing the name makes me think of those Layer2 projects that ran away earlier. --- With such high fee rates, people still jump in. Newbies really don't know what a routine is.

1% per hour? That's not a fee, that's outright robbery. --- Same old trick, I've seen it too many times. --- RIVER has long been transparent; the dealer's fee gouging machine. --- Really, better to miss out than step into this trap. Retail investors always lose money. --- Funding rate explosion = big funds are hunting; run faster. --- Collected once every hour? No wonder the community is full of complaints. --- Don't touch it; this is a carefully designed slaughterhouse. --- I just want to know why the exchange still allows such outrageous fees to exist. --- I won't say I see through it, but once you're in, it's almost impossible to get out. --- Such fierce fee rates can only mean one thing: the dealer is frantically accumulating positions.

1% per hour, this isn't trading, it's just harvesting lambs. Whoever enters, whoever loses. --- RIVER looks like a pump and dump scheme, with such outrageous fees, who dares to touch it? --- Basically, they want you to bleed out in leverage trading. It's a really disgusting design. --- I've seen some guys trapped in this, still stubbornly holding on. There's really no need. --- With such exaggerated fees, someone is definitely manipulating the market. There's nothing to say except it's a scam. --- I was also burned by this kind of coin before. Now, I just pass on extreme fee rates. --- The manipulators are playing their tricks very skillfully. Both longs and shorts are their lambs. --- It's exhausting just to watch. This is probably the current state of the crypto world. --- And some still hope to make money with 1% per hour? Dream on. --- Protecting your principal is more important than anything else. Don't be brainwashed by those high yields.

1 hour 1%, this is no longer just a fee rate, it's outrightly cutting profits The chip distribution has long shown anomalies, a typical manipulator's tactic Seeing such an extreme fee rate and still daring to go all-in, I really have nothing to say The pattern has formed, now just wait to see the scene of the retail investors being harvested The way the funding fee is designed indicates that someone is indeed controlling the rhythm behind the scenes, it's pointless I'll just avoid this wave directly, capital safety is the most important, those chasing the rise can handle it themselves

1 hour 1%? Laughing out loud, this is obviously a money-grading machine. I've seen through the RIVER thing long ago; there must be a whale behind it. With such high fees, can anyone still get in? Respect. Avoid such extreme fee rates; no matter how greedy you are, you have to hold back.
