Funding rates for XRP on Binance have entered extreme negative territory while price ranges between $1.35 and $1.50, a configuration that has historically preceded short-term rebounds, according to CryptoQuant analysis. The signal arrives as altcoins show relative resilience despite a difficult February for the broader market.

The Setup

XRP has corrected roughly 60% from its highs. Despite that decline, the majority of traders positioning in XRP derivatives on Binance have been doing so on the short side, pushing funding rates to extreme negative levels. That means short sellers are paying longs to hold their positions, reflecting overwhelming bearish consensus in the derivatives market.

Extreme negative funding rates are a contrarian signal for a specific mechanical reason. When positioning becomes heavily one-sided, the market has a structural incentive to move against the crowded trade. Short sellers at extreme negative funding rates are paying a continuous cost to maintain their positions. If price moves against them even modestly, the combination of mark-to-market losses and funding costs accelerates covering. That covering is buying, and it pushes price higher.

CryptoQuant’s historical data shows that prior periods of extreme negative XRP funding rates on Binance were followed by short-term rebounds or corrective rallies. The pattern is not a guarantee of a lasting trend reversal. It is a signal that the risk-reward for a near-term bounce has historically been favorable when conditions match the current setup.

The Broader Altcoin Context

The signal arrives against a backdrop of modest altcoin resilience. Total 3, which measures altcoin market capitalization excluding Ethereum, has increased roughly 12% since the start of February, adding approximately $75 billion to the sector despite intensifying geopolitical tensions and a deteriorating macroeconomic environment.

That resilience is notable given the conditions. The Altcoin Season Index covered earlier today sits at 14, firmly in Bitcoin Season territory, meaning the majority of altcoins are still underperforming Bitcoin over the 90-day window. But the February Total 3 gain suggests capital has been selectively returning to larger-cap altcoins even while the broader index remains depressed.

VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs

VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs

The post VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead. Grab a coffee because the firms shaping crypto’s future are not just building products, but also trying to reshape how capital flows. Crypto News of the Day: VanEck Maps Next Frontier of Crypto Venture Investing VanEck, a Wall Street player known for financial “firsts,” is pushing that legacy into Web3. The firsts include pioneering US gold funds and launching one of the earliest spot Bitcoin ETFs. Sponsored Sponsored “Financial instruments have always been a kind of tokenization. From seashells to traveler’s checks, from relational databases to today’s on-chain assets. You could even joke that VanEck’s first gold mutual funds were the original ‘tokenized gold,’” Juan C. Lopez, General Partner at VanEck Ventures, told BeInCrypto. That same instinct drives the firm’s venture bets. Lopez said VanEck goes beyond writing checks and brings the full weight of the firm. This extends from regulatory proximity to product experiments to founders building the next phase of crypto infrastructure. Asked about key investment priorities, Lopez highlighted stablecoins. “We care deeply about three questions: How do we accelerate stablecoin ubiquity? What will users want to do with them once highly distributed? And what net new assets can we construct now that we have sophisticated market infrastructure?” Lopez added. However, VanEck is not limiting itself to the hottest narrative, acknowledging that decentralized finance (DeFi) is having a renaissance. The VanEck executive also noted that success will depend on new approaches to identity and programmable compliance layered on public blockchains.
