$MUU 24 in 24 hours, it rose 5.158%, price at 34.66, but the funding rate is 0. When the price goes up, but longs don’t have to pay shorts—that doesn’t feel right. Usually this kind of move is accompanied by a positive funding rate. Now it’s 0, which suggests there isn’t new long capital aggressively accumulating, or that shorts have been closing positions very quietly.
This very likely is a no-funding-driven, existing-position game of give-and-take. Open interest is 152,000, with no obvious change, further confirming that no large amount of new money has rushed in. The rally looks more like a technical rebound or being pulled up by a small number of buy orders, lacking follow-through. The simplest logic: the price is rising, but longs aren’t willing to pay even a cent of funding—where is their bullish conviction?
There’s also the counterpoint: if the market believes that $MUU has unique value as an on-chain US stock contract—so that traditional capital might use it for allocation—then even with a mediocre funding rate, the price could still be pushed up. But that would be a fundamentals speculation, and the current data doesn’t support it.
The next things to watch are clear: if the price keeps rising but the funding rate stays at 0, longs will get increasingly bored and may reduce positions; if the price stalls, this batch of rebound capital will quickly exit. The core contradiction is that the momentum behind the price increase doesn’t match the market’s real cost of participation.
My bias is bearish. If it rises like this while the funding rate is 0, it feels like a bull trap. I would test a short with a small position.
