Crypto Market Funding Rates Shift to Neutral

According to BlockBeats, data from Coinglass indicates that the funding rates on major centralized and decentralized exchanges have shifted from bearish to neutral. The specific funding rates for mainstream cryptocurrencies are detailed in the accompanying chart. Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain balance between contract prices and the prices of underlying assets, typically applied to perpetual contracts. This mechanism facilitates the exchange of funds between long and short traders, without the platform charging this fee. It adjusts the cost or profit of holding contracts to keep contract prices close to the asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% signifies a baseline rate. When the rate exceeds 0.01%, it suggests a generally bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a rate below 0.005% indicates a bearish market sentiment.
