December 8th, according to Coinglass data, after a recent rebound in the market and an increasing number of "buy the dip" views on social media, the current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rates show a shift from a bearish bias to a neutral stance. The funding rates of major cryptocurrencies have broadly returned to a neutral position, as shown in the specific funding rates of major cryptocurrencies in the attached image.BlockBeats Note: Funding Rate is a fee set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between the contract price and the underlying asset price, usually applicable to perpetual contracts. It is a funding exchange mechanism between long and short traders, and the trading platform does not charge this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or profit of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price.When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the baseline rate. When the funding rate is above 0.01%, it indicates a bullish market sentiment. When the funding rate is below 0.005%, it indicates a bearish market sentiment.

December 8th, according to a report by businessinsider, Joe Ciolli, the author of the First Trade column, stated that over the past 10 years, Bitcoin has risen in tandem with the U.S. stock market. However, as of 2025, the U.S. stock market has achieved a double-digit percentage increase, while Bitcoin is still in a loss-making range.The reasons for this include the fact that retail investors buying the dip are going into hiding. Their sentiment towards Bitcoin has cooled significantly, which is directly reflected in the slowing inflow of ETF funds.Another possible reason is that popular precious metals "gold and silver," which both hit new highs this year, have diverted some attention. Some believe that, at least at this stage, they have replaced Bitcoin in investment portfolios.Joe Ciolli added that the recent decline in Bitcoin may serve to purge some weak-willed speculators. Those who still hold Bitcoin are mostly staunch long-term supporters, many of whom may have held it for a considerable time. If Bitcoin can overcome some of its unique selling pressure concerns, such as the forced selling that large institutional holders like Strategy might engage in, then Bitcoin is likely to return to its position alongside stocks in the long run, especially if the interest rate cut is implemented as expected.
