What was once a common occurrence of seeing perpetual swap funding rates exceed 5 basis points per 8-hour period, today seldom break above the baseline of 1 basis point. Market-makers had taken control of the market and converged the spreads to oblivion, further dampening volatility [could add \u201cand offer traders more efficient pricing\u201d, they aren\u2019t all bad.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not to mention, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/binance-futures-surpasses-bitmex-becomes-most-liquid-bitcoin-perpetual-swap\/\">BitMEX's loss of market dominance<\/a> has resulted in changes to how many traders actually work in the space.<\/p>\n<p>BitMEX operates on a BTC-margined model, meaning that to open contracts to long Bitcoin, you need BTC. Other exchanges such as ByBit mostly use a USDT-margined model.<\/p>\n<p>The way that BitMEX's products are structured dramatically increases volatility in downtrends due to the fact that you need to post more in collateral than USDT contracts. This incentivizes recursive price action in the downward price action, as we saw in March of this year.<\/p>\n<p>With other exchanges taking much of BitMEX's market share, this may also be why volatility is low.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin is up big-time in the past six weeks: per CryptoSlate market data, the leading cryptocurrency has appreciated by 70 percent.
