How to read it. Basis is the contract's mark price over its exchange's index price, minus one; annualized scales it to a yearly rate, basis × 365 / days to expiry (simple, not compounded). Above zero the future trades at a premium (contango) and selling it against spot earns roughly that yield to expiry, before fees and the cost of funding the spot leg (a cash-and-carry). Below zero it trades at a discount (backwardation). The perp rows give the perpetual funding rate as an APR, the curve's 0-day point. Contracts under 2 days from expiry are flagged: annualizing a few hours of premium gives huge, meaningless numbers.

XRP term structure FAQ

Is XRP's futures curve in contango or backwardation?

The summary at the top says which, from the live prices: contango when every XRP dated contract trades above its index, backwardation when every one trades below, mixed otherwise. Contracts under 2 days from expiry are left out of that call.

What is the XRP cash-and-carry yield?

Buying XRP spot and selling a dated future locks in the future's premium over the index at expiry. The annualized basis column is that premium as a simple yearly rate; fees and the cost of funding the spot leg come out of it. Nothing here is financial advice.

Why do Binance and Bybit show different basis for the same expiry?

Each contract is compared with its own exchange's index price, and coin-margined (inverse) contracts are quoted and settled differently from USDⓈ-margined ones, so the same expiry can trade a few basis points apart. The gap is usually small; a large one can be an arbitrage or a thin order book.
