Despite Bitcoin rising 14% in April, marking its highest monthly gain since April 2025, negative funding rates in the BTC perpetual futures market persist; analysis suggests this reflects structural hedging strategies by institutional investors. According to CoinDesk, Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, stated, "Funding rates in the Bitcoin futures market are exhibiting an unusual phenomenon. The 30-day average funding rate stands at around -5%, diverging significantly from the past high of +8%. The persistence of 'negative funding rates' in the futures market, despite Bitcoin's rising price, suggests a structural shift in the market rather than a simple change in investor sentiment." He further explained, "The current market is being driven by hedging activities of institutional investors rather than retail investors. Hedge funds are short-selling futures as a hedge to manage their positions."
