Staking. Since the Merge, staking yield and the share of supply staked are watched closely.
Layer 2 growth. Rollups, including the Aevo L2, settle back to Ethereum.
Risk appetite. Ether tends to move with Bitcoin, usually with a larger swing.

07
Risks of a leveraged ETH position
Liquidation. The liquidation fee on ETH-PERP is 1% of the position’s value, charged on top of the loss.
Funding. Funding is exchanged every hour. When the perp trades above the index, longs pay shorts.
Bigger swings. Ether is usually more volatile than Bitcoin, so the same leverage reaches liquidation sooner.
