March 30 — Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin dipped to $65,000 this morning. Funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges now signal a return to overall bearish sentiment, with specific rates detailed in the attached chart. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to keep contract prices aligned with underlying asset values, typically for perpetual contracts. They facilitate fund transfers between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect these fees. The mechanism adjusts traders’ holding costs or profits to narrow gaps between contract and underlying prices. Rate Guideline: A 0.01% rate is the baseline. Rates above 0.01% indicate a generally bullish market; rates below 0.005% signal a bearish market.
