Solana Futures Funding Rate Turns Negative Amid Testing Phase for Alpenglow Upgrade
The funding rate for Solana futures has turned negative, a development that has sparked speculation about a potential price drop for the cryptocurrency, currently trading around $78. This shift in sentiment comes as the market reflects a score_adj of 76, indicating a prevailing atmosphere of greed, despite a backdrop of extreme fear with a coverage of just 13. Investors are closely monitoring the situation as the Alpenglow upgrade, which promises significant improvements to the network, is currently in the testing phase. In contrast to the negative funding rate, recent ETF inflows totaling $39 million into Solana demonstrate a growing interest among investors, suggesting a divergence between futures market sentiment and broader investment trends. This mixed sentiment is further highlighted by a three-month rate of change (roc_n3) of 0.597, indicating some upward momentum, even as the futures market reflects caution.
