Odaily News Matrixport released the latest chart saying that the funding rate of Ethereum perpetual futures has soared to an annualized 18%+, the highest level since May 2024. This shows that market sentiment is shifting, and traders are heavily long ETH before the US presidential election. After the price fell from $3,800 to $2,500, traders are now buying ETH at a more attractive price. In addition, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink hinted that Ethereum's blockchain role may be significantly enhanced, reflecting that the market focus is shifting.
