Nice, thanks.
Can anyone explain why the swap rates aren't rising even though bitcoin price is rising?
I'd assume people would go long and need more swaps to do so.  Huh

We are still doing backtesting on a proposed change to the calculation of the FRR. However it is very possible for the price to go up without a corresponding increase in margin longs, especially if people want to withdraw coins. If they are using the simple exchange platform, they can push the price up, but that won't affect the swap market.
