π Crypto funding rates rival microloans
Funding on some crypto exchanges is reaching levels that look closer to microfinance than markets.
Example: trying to buy oil perps on Hyperliquid shows limited liquidity.
On Gate, oil exposure exists only through perpetuals, with funding around 0.8% per hour, which annualizes to roughly 6,500%.
Leverage is easy to get. Carry is another story.

βοΈ Bitcoin mining turns unprofitable at current prices
As of March 23, the average cost to mine 1 BTC is above $82K, while price sits near $69K, putting miners at roughly a 15% loss per block.
Higher energy costs, partly driven by rising oil prices, are squeezing margins. Some miners are shutting down equipment and selling more BTC to cover expenses.
Lower hash rate and forced selling add pressure on price.
