  • Matrixport: Solana’s funding rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, and a price correction may occur

    According to a report, Matrixport has released a chart today stating that Grayscale has submitted an application to convert Solana Trust into a spot ETF. Although the current asset management scale of the product is relatively small at $134 million, if approved, it will set an important market precedent for other ETF issuers. It is important to note that Solana's financing rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, which creates significant pressure on leveraged long positions. Historical experience shows that similar high financing rates are often related to price corrections, as was the case in March of this year when the SOL-USDT price fell under similar financing rate backgrounds.

Will the public understand the idea of applying separate self-assessment taxation? There are several issues that need to be resolved. We need to consider it carefully."
