On March 5, independent crypto analyst Axel said in a post that Bitcoin’s perpetual contract funding rate has stayed in negative territory through the first half of March 2026—suggesting short positions are dominating the perpetual futures market. Since late January, the funding rate has repeatedly fallen into negative territory, and over the past two weeks, it’s lingered there with little to no bounce back. The most extreme readings hit on February 25 and 28—both days when Bitcoin was testing local lows around $64k to $65k. As of March 4, the rate is still slightly negative, but the two-week cumulative negative funding rate signals a continued bias toward short positions. A negative funding rate means short holders pay fees to long holders to keep their contracts open—indicating a bearish bias. Historically, this setup either hints at a potential short squeeze if upward momentum picks up, or confirms a bearish trend if the downturn continues. The main trigger for a sentiment shi

March 5th (Cointelegraph) — Google’s Threat Analysis Group has uncovered a new iOS exploit kit named “Coruna,” which is targeting iPhone users in cryptocurrency theft campaigns. The kit targets devices running iOS 13.0 through 17.2.1, including 23 exploit programs and five complete attack chains—some leveraging previously unknown (zero-day) vulnerabilities. Attacks are deployed via spoofed crypto-related websites, such as phishing pages masquerading as the WEEX exchange. When users with vulnerable iPhones visit these malicious sites, the attack code runs automatically. It scans devices for sensitive data (mnemonic phrases, backup phrases, bank account details) and attempts to siphon assets from crypto apps like Uniswap and MetaMask. Google researchers strongly advise iPhone users to update their devices to the latest iOS version immediately. If an update isn’t possible, enable Apple’s Lockdown Mode to boost protection.
