Frequently asked questions
What is a funding rate?
A funding rate is a periodic payment between traders holding long and short positions on a perpetual futures contract. It keeps the contract price close to the spot price: when the perpetual trades above spot the rate is positive, when it trades below spot the rate is negative.
What does a positive funding rate mean?
A positive rate means traders who are long pay those who are short. It usually shows that long positions are crowded — many traders are paying to keep bullish bets open. A negative rate means shorts pay longs.
How often is funding paid?
On most major exchanges funding is settled every 8 hours, at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC. The rate shown here is the current rate for the next settlement; the annualised figure assumes three payments a day at the same rate.
Why do extreme funding rates matter?
Very high or very low funding shows one side of the market is crowded and paying a steep price to hold its position. Crowded positioning can unwind quickly, so traders watch extreme funding as a warning sign of a possible squeeze. It is not a trading signal on its own.
