On June 4, Ether’s 8-hour network-wide average funding rate was only 0.0028%, according to CoinGlass. This low rate suggests traders were not very sure about the market’s direction. Usually, higher leverage shows that traders have more confidence in how an asset will move. This average considers all major exchanges, but the figures differ significantly from one platform to another. For instance, Binance had 0.0047%, OKX 0.003%, and Gate 0.0052%. Bybit surprisingly showed -0.0013%, according to ChainCatcher.
