This week has seen digital currencies making significant double-digit profits, with Bitcoin reaching unprecedented heights. However, CoinGlass data reveals that the funding rates for perpetual swaps on crypto exchanges are more balanced, compared to the market peak in early March.

The funding rate is essentially the cost that long position traders pay to short position traders to enter into a counter trade. During periods of negative funding rates, the fee is paid by the short position traders to the long position traders, a scenario often seen during bearish markets.
