Daily funding card FAQ
How is the daily funding rate calculated?
For each perpetual market we average its funding rate over the UTC day, converted to an 8-hour equivalent so exchanges with 1-hour, 4-hour and 8-hour intervals compare directly. The headline is the average across liquid perps (at least $500K open interest), weighted by open interest.
What do positive and negative funding mean?
Positive funding means longs pay shorts, usually because perps trade above spot and demand for leverage is long. Negative funding means shorts pay longs. 0.01% per 8 hours (about 11% a year) is the usual baseline; 0.1% per 8 hours or more is extreme.
