BitMEX Study Reveals 90% Drop in Extreme Bitcoin Perpetual Futures Funding Rates Since 2016, Signalling Market Maturation
Mahe, Seychelles, June 30th, 2025, Chainwire BitMEX, the safest crypto exchange, today announced the findings of its comprehensive study on XBTUSD, the longest-running Bitcoin perpetual swap, to shed light on the evolution of the funding rate market. The research, spanning from May 2016 to May 2025, reveals a significant shift in funding rate patterns, marking a transition from high volatility to unprecedented market stability. Since BitMEX pioneered perpetual swaps in 2016, they've become one of the most traded financial products worldwide. A key component of these products are funding rates, which are periodic payments made between long and short position holders of a perpetual swap contract to maintain a token's futures price with its spot price. Funding rates are crucial for identifying market arbitrage opportunities and to gauge market sentiment. The study, which delved into the extensive history of BitMEX's XBTUSD perpetual swap, uncovered several key insights: Extreme Funding Rates Plummet by 90%: Since 2016, the occurrence of extreme funding rates has dropped by a staggering 90%. Notably, data from 2024-2025 shows remarkable stability, even as Bitcoin surged past $100,000. This trend indicates a clear maturation of the crypto market, transforming Bitcoin from a highly speculative asset into a more stable financial instrument. Mainstream Integration Drives Stability: The launch of Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 and the emergence of decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols like Ethena have been instrumental in facilitating large-scale arbitrage, further anchoring futures prices to spot prices and contributing to market efficiency. Era of Stable Funding Rates: The current environment of stable funding rates suggests significantly reduced market volatility. This stability could position Bitcoin as a more reliable asset for institutional portfolios, with potential wider implications for traditional financial markets. "Our study highlights a profound transformation in the Bitcoin perpetual swap market," said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. "The dramatic reduction in extreme funding rates on XBTUSD underscores the growing maturity and institutional acceptance of crypto. As one of the oldest crypto exchanges, we're excited to be able to share such market insights for our traders and reinforce the industry's integration into the global financial landscape.' More details about the study can be found here. About BitMEX BitMEX is the OG crypto derivatives exchange, providing professional crypto traders with a platform that caters to their needs through low latency, deep crypto native liquidity and unmatched reliability. Since its founding, no cryptocurrency has been lost through intrusion or hacking, allowing BitMEX users to trade safely in the knowledge that their funds are secure.

Artelo Biosciences Announces Positive First-in-Human Data for ART26.12, a Novel Non-Opioid Treatment Candidate for Persistent Pain
First Orally Active Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 Inhibitor Evaluated in Humans First-in-Class Approach Targets Unmet Need in Multibillion-Dollar Pain Management Market SOLANA BEACH, Calif., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARTL), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on modulating lipid-signaling pathways to develop treatments for people living with cancer, pain, dermatological or neurological conditions, today announced favorable results from its first-in-human study evaluating ART26.12, a novel inhibitor of Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5). The results affirm the promising safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile previously observed in preclinical studies. Inhibiting FABP5 represents a unique mechanism of action with ART26.12 standing out as a first-in-class candidate in the field of pain management. The Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study was designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ART26.12 in healthy volunteers. The SAD study enrolled 49 subjects. The key findings include: Andrew Yates, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Artelo, commented, 'We are greatly encouraged with the results of the SAD study with our lead FABP5 inhibitor and we are particularly pleased to observe that the safety and PK profile that had been generated from ART26.12's non-clinical studies translated well to the human experience.' ART26.12 is the first orally administered, selective, and peripherally restricted FABP5 inhibitor to enter human clinical evaluation. By targeting FABP5, ART26.12 modulates endogenous lipid signaling molecules that exert analgesic effects through established pathways, including TRPV1, PPAR alpha, and cannabinoid receptors, with additional mechanisms such as Nav1.8 under investigation. The chronic pain therapeutics market exceeded $97 billion globally in 2023 and is expected to surpass $159 billion by 20301, driven by the increasing prevalence of conditions such as neuropathic pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Despite the scale of the market, innovation remains sparse—particularly for non-opioid therapies. As part of the U.S Food and Drug Administration's Overdose Prevention Framework, the Agency has issued draft guidance aimed at encouraging the development of non-opioid analgesics for pain. ART26.12 is positioned to fill this gap with an innovative mechanism of action and favorable safety profile. A Multiple Ascending Dose study to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ART26.12 with repeated dosing over time is expected to commence in the fourth quarter this year. About ART26.12 ART26.12, Artelo's lead FABP5 inhibitor, is being developed as a novel, peripherally acting, non-opioid, non-steroidal analgesic. The initial clinical development planned is for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). FABPs are a family of intracellular proteins that chaperone lipids important to normal cellular function. FABP is overexpressed and associated with abnormal lipid signaling in several pathologies. In addition to ART26.12 in CIPN, Artelo's extensive library of small molecule inhibitors of FABPs has shown therapeutic promise for the treatment of certain cancers, neuropathic and nociceptive pain, anxiety disorders, and psoriasis. ART26.12 has been included in Helping to End Addiction Long-term® (HEAL) Initiative's Preclinical Screening Platform for Pain program of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The HEAL program is dedicated to advancing non-opioid solutions to pain and curbing opioid use disorder. 1 About Artelo Biosciences Artelo Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics that modulate lipid-signaling pathways. Artelo is advancing a portfolio of broadly applicable product candidates designed to address significant unmet needs in multiple diseases and conditions, including anorexia, cancer, anxiety, dermatologic conditions, pain, and inflammation. Led by proven biopharmaceutical executives collaborating with highly respected researchers and technology experts, the Company applies leading-edge scientific, regulatory, and commercial discipline to develop high-impact therapies.
