BlockBeats news, October 19th, according to Coinglass data, as Bitcoin slightly strengthens, the current funding rates of mainstream CEX and DEX indicate a weakening bearish sentiment in the market, with specific funding rates as shown in the attached figure.

BlockBeats note: Funding rate is a rate set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain a balance between the contract price and the underlying asset price, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. It is a funding exchange mechanism between long and short traders, and the trading platform does not charge this fee; it is used to adjust the cost or profit of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price.

When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the benchmark rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates that the market is generally bullish. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates that the market is generally bearish.
