AI visual note: The chart, titled "Bitcoin funding rate recovered in August after months of suppression," illustrates Bitcoin's price (BTC, left axis) alongside its annualized perpetual funding rate (%, right axis) from September 2025 to August 2026. It shows BTC hovering near $77K while the funding rate surged to 8.7% in August after remaining suppressed for most of the year, visualizing the rebound in perpetual swap activity that the post attributes to waking volatility and reviving professional market-making opportunities.
