Quick Take

  • The second most amount of Bitcoin withdrawn from exchanges this year at roughly 15,000 BTC.
  • The perpetual funding rate is extremely negative, indicating Bitcoin is being shorted aggressively by record amounts since the FTX collapse.
  • Investors are creating a “stablecoin,” buying Bitcoin and shorting cross 1x inverse to achieve a synthetic USD.
