The prediction market platform has recently adjusted its trading rules. According to official documentation updates, they have started charging takers fees in the 15-minute cycle cryptocurrency price prediction market. This breaks the platform's long-standing "zero fee" model.

Why make this change? According to statements, this fee will be used to incentivize market makers to provide liquidity. In simple terms, it aims to make the market more active and deeper. For traders, it means a slight increase in costs, but from another perspective, better liquidity could actually narrow the bid-ask spread.

Such adjustments are quite common in prediction markets—the platform always needs to find a balance between attracting liquidity and maintaining competitiveness. The 15-minute short-cycle market itself has high trading volume, and whether the fees can truly optimize market performance depends on future data.

They're starting to cut the leeks again; zero fees are gone just like that.

Charging again. The nice way to put it is incentivizing market makers, but actually they just want to milk more benefits.

Here comes the pump again, zero fees mean zero --- Liquidity sounds good, but honestly it's just about making more money --- 15-minute quick in and out trading, no matter how small the spread, can't withstand frequent transactions --- Can market makers really come? I remain skeptical --- I've heard this kind of rhetoric too many times, and in the end, it's still the users who pay --- Wait, are they planning to introduce some new token incentive program to whitewash this issue --- Short-term markets are basically retail traders' meat grinder, and now they want to add fees, it's outrageous --- How much liquidity depth can really be improved is hard to say, but fees are definitely being deducted for real

You're trying to harvest the little guys again. What market maker incentives? Honestly, it's just about taking money out of our pockets.

Another round of cuts? Talking about incentivizing market makers, but isn't it just the platform taking the spread?

Here we go again, zero fees turning into "Incentivized Market Makers." Just hearing this term makes you know the chives are about to be milked again [Laughing] Really, I give full marks for this move. First, you nurture users for three years without charging, get them used to buying and selling, then suddenly start charging—it's as smooth as cutting chives. Lower spreads? I laughed. Once the fee is charged, in the end, you haven't saved a single cent, but instead paid even more. If you ask me, just wait and see how many people get exploited by this "liquidity optimization" in the future.
