- Binance launches PONKE perpetual contracts with up to 75x leverage, sparking initial market excitement.
- Analysts warn of potential DOGE declines amid large transfers, impacting memecoin market sentiment.
Binance has announced the launch of the PONKEUSDT perpetual contract with up to 75x leverage, which would let traders speculate on PONKE price moves. Though it is still lacking from spot trading on Binance, this action places PONKE, a memecoin focused on a monkey and based on the Solana blockchain, in front of prominence.
Those looking for high-stakes rewards but also carry more risk will find attraction in traders now able to take bets on this erratic asset using up to 75x the initial deposit.
Understanding the Risks and Appeals of PONKE’s Perpetual Contract on Binance
Having no expiration date, a perpetual contract sets itself apart from conventional futures contracts and lets traders keep positions permanently. The pricing of the contract is based on a weighted index, which aggregates prices from many spot markets to establish PONKE’s supposed market value.
For those who prefer high-leverage trading, the chance to employ such a contract can be appealing, yet it also calls for a thorough knowledge of the mechanics and risks. Leverage can increase both gains and losses; for many, this feature alone can be a two-edged sword under market conditions as erratic as those around PONKE.
Fascinatingly, Binance’s strategy to provide a leveraged derivative for PONKE in the absence of spot market access begs issues. Some traders see this as a calculated action to gauge market sentiment about PONKE before starting spot trading.
PONKE experienced an amazing price increase of over 10% after the contract debut, which reflected increasing demand and a first optimistic sentiment. But the price of the token swiftly changed and fell within more general bearish market patterns.
Meanwhile, PONKE is trading at about $0.422, showing a 10.48% drop over the last 24 hours, highlighting the fast changes and volatility sometimes found in memecoin markets. The price drop has subdued the initial excitement about PONKE by reminding traders of the importance of caution in such high-stakes situations.
On the other hand, take a peek at another memecoin. CNF has noted that an analyst is indicating possible more drops for DOGE based on a pessimistic trend observed on Solana, Ethereum, and other significant coins.
Furthermore, adding to this is a large 1.74 billion DOGE transfer to Robinhood, which begs questions about a possible sell-off and would further strain the DOGE price.
