Glassnode Alerts: Bitcoin Funding Rates Plunge to Lowest Since 2022 Bear Market Amid Massive Crypto Leverage Reset

On Oct. 13, COINOTAG News cited a Glassnode post reporting that the market-wide funding rate has dropped to levels not seen since the 2022 bear market. This decline reflects a pronounced leverage reset across derivatives venues as market participants pare back speculative positioning. Funding-rate compression is a measurable indicator of reduced margin pressure and diminished risk appetite, consistent with systematic deleveraging rather than fresh capital inflows. Market participants and risk managers should consider this signal when adjusting volatility assumptions and liquidity provisioning in their portfolio models.
