Recent discussions have been sparked by the trading volume of River's contracts. Many traders around us have reported that this asset's price movement is quite fierce — short positions are often suddenly pulled up at the last moment, and the subsequent stop-loss chain reactions combined with high funding fees have caused many to suffer significant losses.

From the data perspective, the popularity of River is indeed extraordinary. According to Coinglass statistics, the trading volume of this asset's contracts worldwide has ranked among the top 5, with a single leading exchange contributing an average daily trading volume of 1.27 billion USD, and the entire market exceeding 3 billion USD. Behind this heat, it not only reflects the market's activity but also indicates that opportunities for funding rate arbitrage do exist — but at the same time, it means volatility and risk coexist. For participants, it is especially important to implement effective risk control and take profit strategies.
