Ethereum funding rate turns negative! ETF outflows, staking yields are lower than stablecoins

Ethereum perpetual contract funding rates turn negative, indicating increased demand for shorts and a clear market bearish sentiment. Institutional demand remains weak, partly due to relatively low staking yields and a lack of sustained capital inflows. On-chain data and technical developments have failed to boost confidence, but Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem still maintains a strong moat. It is necessary to observe a rebound in funding rates and improvements in transaction fee revenue to determine the future market trend.

Bitcoin recently broke through $70,000 again, influenced by changes in the energy market. Its price once reached $71,612 before falling back to $70,036. The market sentiment is related to discussions with the International Energy Agency about releasing strategic oil reserves, and the decline in Brent crude oil prices is seen as a signal to reduce inflation pressure. The market is focused on the Federal Reserve policy meeting, with expectations that if oil prices remain below $90, it will create room for interest rate cuts.

Ethereum network activity reaches a new all-time high, but ETH price has fallen 30% over 6 months, ranking third in fee revenue.

Ethereum network activity reaches a new all-time high, with multiple indicators showing a significant increase in daily active addresses and smart contract calls. However, ETH price has fallen about 30% over the past six months, indicating a net capital outflow. Analysis suggests that capital flows have a greater impact on price. Despite Ethereum hosting a large amount of stablecoins, its value capture has not kept pace with the growth in network usage.

Ethereum active addresses surpass 2 million, reaching a new all-time high, but ETH price remains under pressure; capital flow becomes a key variable.

Ethereum network activity reaches a record high, but ETH prices have not risen accordingly, and on-chain transaction fee revenue has not significantly increased. Transaction data shows that the correlation between on-chain activity and price has weakened, with new demand not translating into higher ETH valuation, leading to net capital outflows from the market. Stablecoins still dominate the Ethereum ecosystem, but overall economic activity is dispersed across layer 2 networks, indicating a separation between network usage and asset value capture.
