Just now I checked the funding rate again—it’s gotten extremely out of range. The positive funding rate has surged to over 0.1%, and the negative side is also very deep. In theory, taking the counterparty side to earn the funding rate sounds pretty tempting at a time like this, but honestly, on-chain data has been heavily criticized recently: the tag system often lags, and it can even be artificially misleading. You might see a large-holder address and think they’re opening longs, but in reality they already left earlier, or it was just an intermediate address. Anyway, I don’t dare follow the funding rate blindly—I’d rather avoid the volatility. When I’m researching route selection, I usually switch to low-funding, more stable pools, or I’ll use private transactions and wait until the sentiment cools down before entering. That’s it for now—just don’t let yourself be an easy mark.
