On March 9th, Coinglass data shows that even as Bitcoin surged above $69,000 today, current funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges still point to a predominantly bearish market. Funding rates for key mainstream coins are detailed in the accompanying chart. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to keep contract prices aligned with the underlying asset’s spot price, typically used for perpetual contracts. This is a mechanism for fund transfers between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect these fees. It adjusts the cost or profit for traders holding positions to ensure contract prices closely track the underlying asset. A 0.01% funding rate serves as the baseline. Rates above 0.01% signal a generally bullish market, while rates below 0.005% indicate a predominantly bearish market.
