Perpetual funding on the majors sits at -2% annualised, so shorts are the ones paying and positioning leans bearish. Whales made 6667 trades of $10k or more, net $117M sold; the largest was a $22M sell of Ethereum on binance futures. Quant (QNT), Bitway (BTW), Sky (SKY) and JUST (JST) set new all-time highs.
