According to BlockBeats, data from Coinglass indicates that the current funding rates on major centralized and decentralized exchanges (CEX and DEX) suggest that the market's bullish sentiment has not reached an overheated level. The funding rates for mainstream crypto asset contracts on CEXs are maintaining a neutral base rate of 0.01%. Funding rates are a mechanism used by cryptocurrency trading platforms to balance the contract price with the underlying asset price, typically applied to perpetual contracts. This rate facilitates the exchange of funds between long and short traders, without the trading platform charging a fee. It serves to adjust the cost or profit of holding contracts, ensuring that contract prices remain close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% indicates a baseline rate. When the funding rate exceeds 0.01%, it reflects a generally bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a funding rate below 0.005% suggests a bearish market sentiment.

According to PANews, Dragonfly investor Omar recently highlighted the potential negative impact of interest rate cuts on companies sensitive to such changes, like Circle. A reduction of 100 basis points could lead to a $618 million decrease in Circle's total revenue, a 23% drop, and a $303 million decline in gross profit, representing a 30% reduction. Additionally, the profit margin could fall by 3.3 percentage points. This scenario would require Circle's stock, currently trading at 42 times EV/rr gross profit, to rise to 60.4 times, a 50% premium. To counteract these effects, the supply of USDC would need to increase by $28 billion, or 44% of the current $64 billion, to maintain neutrality. Omar noted that interest rate cuts are inevitable, which explains Circle's recent $1.5 billion stock sale and its urgency to launch products like CPN and Circle Chain to monetize transaction flows.
