Ever since a certain leading exchange started tightening control over the derivatives market, market makers holding derivative shells have been quietly observing—just how tight can this line get? Folks these days see meme coins like as a touchstone; everyone is watching how they move.
A 10x surge in one night? That’s definitely excessive. But looking at it differently, can a coin still rise 3x in a day and then drop 50% afterward? The question is—without volatility, traders complain; with too much volatility, regulators step in. Finding that balance is essentially a matter of who gets criticized regardless. Do you really think balancing this is that easy?
The derivatives market works like that—always trying to find a landing point between liquidity and risk. If regulations tighten, traders have less room to maneuver, but the market becomes relatively more stable. The issue is, during this process, traders, market makers, and platforms are all adapting to new rules—there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

In an era of compromises, no one has a good day
Regulation is a thing; it’s neither fully good nor bad
This time, Folks was just used as a gun
To be honest, the current market is just trying to find that never-ending balance point
Exchanges are testing the waters, market makers are hiding, retail investors are still dreaming

Regulators tighten, and market makers just pretend to be dead. Coins like Folks have truly become targets... Honestly, everyone wants to make money but no one wants to take the blame.
---
The days of 10x ups and downs are gone. Now it's all about psychological games. So annoying.
---
What sounds nice is finding a balance, but in reality, everyone is testing the bottom line. In the end, retail investors are still the ones losing.
---
These exchanges are really something. They talk about risk management on one hand but hint that market makers can keep playing tricks. Laughable.
---
So now, those still trading derivatives probably have a gambler's mentality. I'm out, watching from the sidelines.
---
No one knows what the rules are, and they just start regulating. That's the current state of Web3.
---
Liquidity and risk? Ha, there's no middle ground at all—only a cycle of cutting leeks and being cut.

With regulatory action coming down, everyone is watching to see how Folks will fail, essentially looking for new ways to cut leeks...
---
When volatility decreases, merchants cry; when volatility increases, they get slapped again. This business is impossible to do.
---
The derivatives market has always been like this. No one expects to be comfortable; everyone is adapting and trying to trap each other in the process.
---
It's just waiting for the regulators to make a clear ruling. Once that happens, everyone will know how to play; right now, everyone is testing the waters.
---
10x overnight? That’s long gone. Now, it's only possible to profit from information asymmetry; everything else has to come slowly.
---
Market makers are observing, and I am also watching how they turn around. Whoever acts first will make money.
---
This is what it's like being caught in the middle—traders complain, regulators intervene, platforms also find it difficult, and there are no winners.

Regulation is indeed a tough sword to wield—cutting liquidity on the left and risk on the right, in the end, no one is satisfied.
Folks are just a touchstone; watching it fluctuate shows that market makers are still testing their bottom line.
If volatility is low, it's boring; if it's high, you'll get criticized. It's truly hard to do.
The balance between liquidity and risk—frankly—no one can get it exactly right.
Regarding the derivatives market, right now everyone is feeling their way in the dark. Without a standard answer, that's the biggest answer.

The contract market is just a vicious cycle. When regulations tighten, market makers hold back, and the retail investors start crying about when there will be volatility. Honestly, no one can please anyone.

With the crackdown from regulators, market makers are all testing their bottom lines. Nobody dares to be too reckless now.
That's just how contracts are, always getting criticized... If it's strict, there's no chance; if it's relaxed, it might collapse.
This round, folks, will probably be watched closely to the death. The fate of being a touchstone—it's really hard to endure.
Honestly, no one can precisely balance liquidity and risk; everyone's just exploring.
After real regulation arrives, the excitement diminishes, but losses also decrease. It's a matter of gains and losses.
How complex must the psychology of market makers be? A policy change that rewrites the rules of the game.
When volatility disappears, traders complain; when volatility is too high, regulation steps in. Who determines the right balance?
Right now, no one in this market dares to be bold; everyone is watching whether the exchanges will loosen the rules or not.
The trend of Folks can reveal clues. So pitiful.

Whenever regulation tightens, everyone starts playing a guessing game. Folks, this wave is all about seeing who can step right on that line. To be honest, it's exhausting.
