Frequently asked questions
What is a crypto perpetual funding rate?
A funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged directly between traders holding long and short positions in a perpetual futures contract. It exists because perpetuals never expire, so the funding payment is the mechanism that keeps the contract price tethered to the underlying spot price. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, shorts pay longs. It is a measure of positioning and leverage demand, not a forecast of price direction.
What does a positive or negative funding rate mean?
Positive funding means the perpetual is trading above spot and long positions are paying to keep them open, which indicates leveraged demand skewed toward the long side. Negative funding means the reverse. Sustained extreme readings in either direction indicate crowded positioning, which historically has coincided with sharper unwinds — but funding is a description of current market structure, not a signal of what happens next, and it is frequently wrong as a standalone timing tool.
How often are funding rates paid?
Most major venues settle funding every eight hours, which is three payments per day, though some exchanges use one-hour or four-hour intervals. Quoted rates are usually per-interval rather than annualized, so an apparently small figure compounds meaningfully for a position held across many settlements.
