$SNXX Over the past 24 hours, it’s up 4.83%. The price is at 13.44, with trading volume nearing 379 million. But its perpetual contract funding rate is 0. For something that’s rising, neither the long side nor the short side is paying anyone—this state is quite interesting.

The market is pricing in the idea that “Trump will keep being favorable to crypto,” but it overlooks the real-world effects of his policies being highly differentiated. In recent news, on one side he holds a crypto summit in the White House and meets with industry executives; on the other, a report from Public Citizen shows that crypto products associated with him have left investors with an unrealized loss of $4.7 billion. This split narrative, when projected onto on-chain U.S.-stock contracts like $SNXX , creates the current mild bullish posture. Price is rising, but the funding rate is staying flat—this suggests the leveraged funds chasing the move aren’t aggressive, bullish sentiment hasn’t overheated, and longs’ cost basis hasn’t been inflated.

On the flip side, this is also a weakness. If the price keeps moving higher, the lack of a positive funding rate—giving long positions extra carry—may make it hard to hold onto short-term traders. The strongest counter-evidence is this: if Trump suddenly makes a major concession on crypto policy or rolls out support measures beyond expectations, it could instantly ignite sentiment and drive $SNXX to surge quickly. That would invalidate the current mildly bullish logic built on policy differentiation.

If the price can break above the recent high with volume, and simultaneously the funding rate turns positive and starts rising gradually, that would indicate a new long-side consensus is forming. I’ll watch for that signal. Conversely, if after consolidating near the current price it turns back down and breaks below yesterday’s low, it means the market’s optimistic expectations for the “Trump trade” can’t be sustained, and I would choose to exit.

Aggressive scenario: If the price breaks 13.60 to the upside with strong volume and the funding rate turns positive, you could test a long position with a small size. Solid scenario: Hold and wait, observing until price and funding rate form a clear convergence. Avoid scenario: If the price breaks below 12.80, bets on the “Trump trade” narrative should be paused in the short term.

The market thinks Trump is a friend of crypto, but I think he’s more like a politician who uses crypto to attract attention. The calm funding rate for $SNXX may precisely reflect that professional capital is being cautious about it.
