Ethereum futures backwardation hints at 30% ‘airdrop rally’ ahead of the Merge

Ether (ETH) bulls like a positive spread between its spot and ETH futures prices because the so-called contango reflects optimism about a higher rate in the future. But as of Aug. 1, the Ethereum futures curve slid in the opposite direction.
