$BTC $ETH
The funding rate premium for ETH futures is relatively higher than Bitcoin's, indicating a greater risk premium for Ether. Over the past three months, ETH funding rates surpassed BTC's, but there hasn't been a significant increase recently. This suggests a lack of substantial speculative interest in expecting higher price movements for Ether. Notably, spikes in the ETH-BTC funding rate spread above its 1-year average tend to align with local peaks for ETH prices.
