ESPORTS Spot and Binance Futures Contracts Showed a 45% Price Spread; Funding Rate Turned Negative
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai9684xtpa), the on-chain price of ESPORTS temporarily diverged from Binance’s perpetual contract price by as much as 45%, with a negative funding rate. The current on-chain spot price stands at approximately $0.04072, while Binance’s perpetual contract price is around $0.0492—still reflecting a 20.8% price gap. Reports indicate that Gate, MEXC, and Bitget have suspended token deposits, preventing effective arbitrage from narrowing the price gap between on-chain markets and centralized exchanges, thereby further impacting the performance of Binance’s perpetual contract price index.
