According to data from Coinglass, the funding rate for ETH on Binance is still positive. To assess the sentiment of leverage traders, analysts monitor the funding rate. The more excited that traders are about price prospects and the more willing they are to pay a premium to maintain their upside bets, the higher the funding rate.

A mechanism to burn a portion of user fees was introduced in August last year via the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)-1559. In essence, the EIP ties network utilization to the amount of Ether burned.
