February 24 — Bitcoin slipped below $63,000 again this morning, according to data from Coinglass. Current funding rates on major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges point to a still largely bearish market, though most platforms have seen Bitcoin’s funding rate return to positive territory. Specific rates are detailed in the attached image. **BlockBeats Note**: Funding rates are set by crypto exchanges to align perpetual contract prices with underlying asset values. They enable a funding exchange between long and short traders—exchanges do not charge this fee. The mechanism adjusts the cost or profit of traders holding contracts to keep contract prices close to spot prices. A 0.01% funding rate is the baseline. Rates above 0.01% signal a broadly bullish market, while rates below 0.005% indicate a generally bearish trend.

Per Anthropic’s website, its Claude chatbot can “scan entire codebases for vulnerabilities, validate each finding to cut down on false positives, and offer remediation suggestions for review and approval.” Claude’s code reasoning process is “similar to that of a seasoned security researcher”—it can grasp context, trace data flows, and “catch vulnerabilities missed by pattern-matching tools” before proposing fixes. This week, shares of the top five U.S. cybersecurity firms by market cap have continued to slide. Palo Alto Networks—the largest U.S. cybersecurity company, with a $116 billion market cap—has seen its stock drop nearly 9% since the feature launched.
