COINOTAG News, citing Coinglass data dated December 12, shows funding rates across major CEX and DEX markets edging toward neutral, signaling a tamer risk backdrop for perpetual contracts.

The Funding Rate is a fee used to align contract prices with spot prices, applied to perpetual contracts to balance long and short exposure; a baseline around 0.01% marks neutrality.

For traders and risk managers, the shift toward neutral funding rates may reduce carry costs and influence hedging strategies; investors should watch the chart for trend confirmation and adjust exposure accordingly.
