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.

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.
