However, the situation is not all positive for CYBER token holders. The current annualized funding rate of CYBER U-based contracts is above -500% on major exchanges, and -662% on Binance. This suggests that there is a significant amount of short-selling happening on these platforms.
Despite this, the recent surge in price has been attributed to news that Upbit has become the largest holder of CYBER tokens, having acquired 3.6 million tokens since August 22nd. CoinCu reported that the thereof news led to a surge in price, with the token increasing by 130%. As of now, the largest Korean exchange has seen a significant increase in its CYBER holdings, which now stands at 3.8 million tokens.
Additionally, DWF Labs has also been increasing its CYBER token holdings, acquiring 170,000 units over the past week and executing a transfer of 170,000 CYBER tokens to the Bithumb exchange within the last 24 hours.
