Trading Platform Funding Rate Indicates Strong Bearish Sentiment in the Market, with Major Coins Showing Negative Values

2026.02.02 17:14:58

**February 2nd Crypto Brief** Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin dropped below $75,000 at noon today—falling below the strategy’s cost basis—sparking widespread market panic. Current funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges signal strong bearish sentiment: **none of BTC, ETH, or SOL funding rates are in positive territory**. Notably, bearishness toward altcoins lags that of mainstream coins; most major altcoins’ funding rates also remain non-positive. Specific rates are detailed in the attached chart. --- **BlockBeats Note** Funding rate is a perpetual contract mechanism designed to align contract prices with underlying asset values. It facilitates fund exchanges between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect this fee—adjusting traders’ holding costs/profits to keep contracts closely tied to underlying assets. **Rate Benchmarks**: - 0.01% = baseline - >0.01% = bullish trend - <0.005% = bearish trend

Tendrils completes a $30 million seed funding round, and plans to build a general-purpose processor capable of running thousands of cores in parallel.

Cambridge-based semiconductor startup Tendrils has closed a $30 million seed financing round, equivalent to roughly €26 million, led by Benchmark, with follow-on investments from Visionaries Club, the UK Sovereign AI Fund, FR8, Antimatter, Cloudberry VC, Conviction, Embassy Ventures, and SV Angels, plus multiple angel investors. Founded in 2025, the company was established by CEO Nils Cremer and co-founders T6 and Hugo McNally. It is developing a general-purpose processor architecture that enables thousands of cores to operate in parallel. Based on the interaction network computing model, the new architecture represents programs as interconnected nodes, allowing independent operations to execute simultaneously, and aims to move beyond traditional shared mutable memory and linear instruction sequences. Tendrils is also developing an open-source programming language called Vine, whose syntax is similar to Rust, to simplify software adaptation to this parallel-first architecture. The firm noted that while GPUs have taken on large-scale numerical computing, AI agents still rely heavily on CPUs for irregular tasks such as code execution and document retrieval. Jack Altman, General Partner at Benchmark and co-founder of Lattice, will join Tendrils' board of directors.
