Current Mainstream CEX and DEX Funding Rates Indicate Slight Return to Neutral Market

On April 1, according to Coinglass data, as Bitcoin briefly rebounded to $68,000 this morning, the current funding rates for mainstream CEX and DEX show a slight easing of bearish sentiment in the market, with rates beginning to return to neutral, as illustrated in the attached chart. Note from BlockBeats: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and the prices of underlying assets, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. It serves as a mechanism for the exchange of funds between long and short traders, and the trading platform does not charge this fee. Instead, it adjusts the costs or profits for traders holding contracts to keep contract prices close to the prices of the underlying assets. A funding rate of 0.01% indicates the benchmark rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it signifies a generally bullish market. Conversely, when the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates a generally bearish market.
