Something’s off: $INJ funding rate has turned negative
Something’s off in the order book.
The OI path: 26.5M → 23.7M → 27.5M → 31.4M. It dipped first, then surged, up +18.4% in one go. Price is 8.238 USDT, up +5.6% over 24h. As the price climbed, positions piled up at 31.4M.
Trading volume: $128.9M. This isn’t aimless trading on low volume—real money is moving in.
And the funding rate? +0.0000% → -0.0003%. It’s turned negative. In a rising market, shorts are starting to gain the upper hand—but shorting isn’t free. The longer you hold, the higher the cost climbs.
Market cap: $827.0M. Spot pairs are available; Bitnomial is launching Injective futures in the US and eyeing an ETF, while 10 news stories are making the rounds.
High prices + negative funding: the fuse for a short squeeze is right there, but no one can guarantee it’ll catch fire.
First, get a handle on your position costs. Don’t help someone else lift their bags at 31.4M.
Risk warning: Funding rates change every minute. Treating a single reading as a direction signal could get you—especially if you’re leveraged—liquidated first.
