[Matrixport: As Ethereum trading volume declines, ETH leveraged long positions may face liquidation risk due to funding rate costs] BlockBeats News, September 10, Matrixport released a market perspective stating that Ethereum treasury-like companies have recently become subdued, with their net asset value (NAV) hovering around 1—clearly indicating that investors are unwilling to pay a premium for these stocks. Even Bitcoin treasury-like companies have seen their net value drop significantly. Although this week's U.S. inflation data and next week's Federal Reserve interest rate meeting may bring some positive momentum to the crypto market, Ethereum's trading volume has plummeted from $122 billion to just $41 billion, while open interest in futures contracts has shown almost no significant decline. This divergence explains why ETH prices have been able to hold steady, but as trading volume decreases, some traders holding leveraged long positions may soon be forced to liquidate—especially as elevated funding rates make holding positions increasingly costly.
