Matrixport: As Ethereum Transaction Volume Declines, ETH Long Leveraged Positions May Face Liquidation Risk Due to Funding Rate Cost

BlockBeats News, September 10th: Matrixport released a market insight stating that Ethereum treasury-based companies have recently become quiet, with their Net Asset Value (NAV) hovering around 1. This clearly indicates that investors are not willing to pay a premium for these stocks. Even Bitcoin treasury-based companies have seen a significant drop in their net worth.

Despite this week's U.S. inflation data and the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate meeting next week, which may bring some positive news to the crypto market, Ethereum's trading volume has plummeted from $122 billion to just $41 billion, while open futures contracts have shown little decline.

This discrepancy explains why the ETH price is still holding up, but with decreasing trading volume, some leveraged long position holders may soon be forced to liquidate, especially as the high funding rate is making the cost of holding positions increasingly expensive.
