<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Bitcoin funding rates on Binance, the largest global cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, have dropped to the lowest levels of the year, indicating a significant shift in market sentiment. According to CryptoQuant on-chain analyst EgyHash, the exchange’s Bitcoin funding rates have remained negative for three consecutive days. This downward trend was last observed in October 2023, showing that short positions have overtaken long positions.</p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Funding rates on Binance have been used for some time to measure market sentiment, indicating a shift in investor sentiment based on short and long positions. When funding rates turn negative in this way, <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">investors</a> with short positions pay those with long positions, indicating higher or increasing demand for short positions.</p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">According to EgyHash’s <a href="https://newslinker.co/how-does-artificial-intelligence-work/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">data</a>, the current funding rates have reached the highest level of negativity since the beginning of the year, with short positions continuously dominating the market. The average Bitcoin funding rate indicator, which compiles funding rates across all exchanges, has also turned negative, indicating a short-term bearish trend.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">A 10x Research report dated August 16 noted the lack of institutional interest in Bitcoin, suggesting that institutions seem less inclined to follow the market at current levels. The report evaluated this institutional sentiment through a seven-day issuance rate of stablecoins, considered a clear indicator of Bitcoin buyer activity.</p> 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="details-on-the-subject">Details on the Subject</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, explained that stablecoin inflows are a key sign when fiat dollars are converted into crypto and moved into Bitcoin or <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/introducing-the-erc-404-token-standard-merging-erc-20-and-erc-721-features/" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a>. On August 15, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds turned positive, recording an inflow of $11.11 million despite declining interest in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">According to Sosovalue data, the total net asset value of spot Bitcoin ETF funds reached $51.99 billion after the total net inflows of spot Bitcoin ETF funds reached $17.33 billion. Although funding rates have turned negative, these ETF figures indicate increasing demand from institutional and individual investors eyeing Bitcoin as a valid crypto asset for investment.</p>
