That’s what backwardation means in trader jargon.

r the institutional traders starting taking it off the CeX ?

I always read that as "backtardation." Like, "What in backtardation are you rewards up to now!?"

Backwardation/contato refer to shape in the future curve across the various expiries. Funding rate has nothing to do with that at a conceptual leve (it might be correlated thou)

*contango.
