CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on the X platform that Binance attracted a total of $6 billion in stablecoin inflows in March and April, with nearly $3.5 billion in net inflows in April, contrasting sharply with the previous net outflow of about $7.6 billion.Despite the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran increasing market uncertainty and concerns about rising inflation being unfavorable for risk assets, the trend of stablecoin inflows has clearly shifted. The analyst pointed out that when inflows to major exchanges exceed outflows, it indicates that some parts of the market are beginning to reposition themselves to participate in the gradual recovery over the past two months. If this trend continues, it may provide support for a short-term positive market.

The newly appointed chief economist of New Fire Group, Fu Peng, stated on Twitter that the underlying business model of Bitcoin perpetual contracts is essentially the same as the "rollover fee/overnight fee" in traditional finance's gold and industrial commodity spot exchanges.Fu Peng pointed out that back in the day, gold exchanges settled through daily forced liquidation, with longs and shorts paying each other rollover fees. When retail investors held a large number of high-leverage long positions, the rollover fee became the most stable and hidden source of income for the platform. Nowadays, Bitcoin spot platforms mainly rely on perpetual contracts, with both sides settling the funding rate every 8 hours. When longs dominate, retail investors holding long positions continuously pay funding rates to shorts.Although the platform does not directly collect this fee, it significantly enhances trading activity, open interest, and liquidity, indirectly generating a large amount of fee income and forming a stable and substantial cash flow. Essentially, it is a business model where large players/institutions "collect rent" from long-term holdings, retail investors pay for leverage to go long, and the platform indirectly takes a cut.
