Sorted by open interest. Exchanges settle funding every 1, 4 or 8 hours. Funding 8h and APR convert every rate to 8 hours so they compare directly; Next funding is the predicted payment for the market's own interval at its next settlement, which moves with the premium until then. Where an exchange publishes no settlement time (Hyperliquid, Gate), it is the next whole interval on the UTC clock, when those exchanges settle.

About the ETHBTC funding rate
What is the ETHBTC funding rate?
ETHBTC perpetual futures never expire, so exchanges keep their price near spot with funding: a periodic payment between longs and shorts. When the perp trades above spot, the rate is positive and longs pay shorts; below spot it turns negative and shorts pay longs. The payment is a percentage of position size, charged every 1, 4 or 8 hours depending on the exchange.
How to read it
Binance and Bybit's default rate when the perp is in line with spot is 0.0100% per 8h (about 11% APR). Well above that means leveraged longs are paying up to hold ETHBTC; negative means shorts are crowded. The APR column shows what holding a position costs or earns over a year at today's rate. A wide spread between exchanges is what funding arbitrage traders look for.
Why do exchanges show different rates?
Each exchange computes funding from its own order book and premium, so the ETHBTC rate differs by venue, and intervals differ too. Swolecharts converts every rate to an 8-hour equivalent and weights the headline figure by open interest. Rates update every few seconds from the exchanges' public feeds.
When is the next ETHBTC funding payment?
The next known ETHBTC funding payment is on Bybit (ETHBTCUSDT) at 2026-10-31 00:00 UTC, for its 8h interval, with a predicted payment of 0.0000%. Funding is paid every 8 hours on Bybit and KuCoin. The predicted payment uses the market’s native interval; the Funding 8h rate is an 8-hour equivalent for comparison. Only traders holding a position at the settlement time pay or receive. The Next funding column is the predicted payment for that interval: the rate the exchange currently shows, which keeps moving with the perp's premium until settlement, so the final figure can differ. The funding history below shows how the ETHBTC rate has moved.
