Crypto funding rates
See what traders pay to hold each crypto perpetual: whether longs pay shorts or shorts pay longs, and how extreme the rate is. A quick read on which side of the market is crowded.
What it shows
What you get on this screen
- Rate per interval
- The current funding rate for every coin, as the exchange charges it, with the time to the next payment.
- Longs or shorts pay
- Positive rates mean longs pay shorts, which usually means the crowd leans long. Negative rates mean the opposite.
- Yearly equivalent
- Each rate is also shown scaled to a year, so a 4-hour rate and an 8-hour rate can be compared fairly.
- Market average
- How many coins have longs paying, and the average rate across the market.
How to read it
Four steps
- 1Start with the market average: are longs or shorts paying overall?
- 2Sort by highest or lowest to find the most crowded coins.
- 3Check the interval badge: some coins settle every 4 or 1 hours, not 8.
- 4Open the chart for a coin that stands out and judge it against its levels.
Good to know
Honest limits
- Funding shows where traders are positioned, not where price is going. Rates can stay extreme for a long time in a strong trend.
- Rates come from Binance perpetual futures.
- This is education and tools, not investment advice. Trading loses money.
Questions
Common questions
What is a funding rate?
A small payment exchanged between long and short traders of a perpetual future every few hours. It is designed to keep the contract price close to the spot price.
What does a negative funding rate mean?
Shorts pay longs. It usually means more traders are betting on a fall, and the market is crowded on the short side.
How often is funding paid?
Every 8 hours on most contracts, and every 4 or 1 hours on some. The page shows each coin’s own interval.
